The purpose of this study was to examine maternal responsivity and directive behaviors in mothers of children with Down syndrome (DS).
Participants included 22 mothers with a young child with DS compared to 22 mothers of chronologically age-matched typically developing (TD) children using a cross-sectional design. The dyads participated in videotaped structured activities that were coded for responsive and directive behaviors.
RESULTS indicated that the mothers of children with DS used a more facilitative style with the older children while these behaviors decreased with older children with TD; one directive behavior, request for behavioral comply, increased with the older children with DS.
The mothers of children with DS adapted their parenting style to be facilitative of their children's linguistic development.
本研究旨在考察唐氏综合征(DS)患儿母亲的反应性和指导行为。
采用横断面设计,研究对象包括22名患有DS的幼儿的母亲,以及22名年龄匹配的发育正常(TD)儿童的母亲。这些二元组参与了录像的结构化活动,对反应性和指导行为进行编码。
结果表明,DS患儿的母亲对年龄较大的孩子采用了更具促进性的方式,而这些行为在TD年龄较大的孩子中有所减少;一种指导行为,即要求行为依从,在DS年龄较大的孩子中增加。
DS患儿的母亲调整了她们的育儿方式,以促进孩子的语言发展。
