Through assessment of 173 preterm infants and their mothers at hospital discharge and at 9, 16, 24, 36, and 72 months, the study examined early parenting, attachment security, effortful control, and children's representations of family relationships in relation to subsequent externalizing behavior problems. Less intrusive early parenting predicted more secure attachment, better effortful control skills, and fewer early behavior problems, although it did not directly relate to the structural or content characteristics of children's represented family relationships. Children with higher effortful control scores at 24 months had more coherent family representations at 36 months. Moreover, children who exhibited less avoidance in their family representations at 36 months had fewer mother-reported externalizing behavior problems at 72 months. The study suggests that early parenting quality and avoidance in children's represented relationships are important for the development of externalizing behavior problems in children born preterm.
通过对 173 名早产儿及其母亲在出院时以及 9、16、24、36 和 72 个月时的评估,该研究考察了早期育儿、依恋安全性、努力控制以及儿童对家庭关系的代表与随后的外化行为问题之间的关系。侵入性较小的早期育儿方式预示着更安全的依恋、更好的努力控制技能和更少的早期行为问题,尽管它与儿童所代表的家庭关系的结构或内容特征没有直接关系。24 个月时努力控制得分较高的儿童在 36 个月时有更连贯的家庭代表。此外,在 36 个月时在家庭代表中表现出较少回避的儿童在 72 个月时母亲报告的外化行为问题较少。该研究表明,早产儿的早期育儿质量和儿童所代表的关系中的回避对外化行为问题的发展很重要。
