The current study examined how individual differences in maternal temperament and child problem behaviors correlate with observed maternal positivity and negativity toward the child. The sample consisted of 153 mothers of 3-to-7 year old children. Mothers reported their own temperament (surgency, orienting sensitivity, effortful control and negative affect) and their children's problem behaviors. Maternal behavior was videotaped in a set of structured interaction tasks with the child during a lab visit. Results indicated that children's problem behaviors were related to less maternal positivity and more negativity. In addition, observed maternal negativity was associated with less maternal effortful control and more negative affect. In contrast, maternal temperament was unrelated to observed maternal positivity toward the child. Furthermore, maternal temperament was related to mothers' positivity and negativity but only for children high in problem behaviors. The findings implicate that child problem behaviors may interact with maternal temperament in explaining variance in caregiving positivity and negativity.
本研究考察了母亲气质的个体差异以及儿童问题行为如何与观察到的母亲对孩子的积极和消极态度相关联。样本包括153名3至7岁儿童的母亲。母亲们报告了自己的气质（外向性、定向敏感性、努力控制和消极情绪）以及孩子的问题行为。在实验室访问期间，通过一组与孩子的结构化互动任务对母亲的行为进行了录像。结果表明，儿童的问题行为与母亲较少的积极态度和较多的消极态度有关。此外，观察到的母亲消极态度与母亲较少的努力控制和较多的消极情绪有关。相比之下，母亲的气质与观察到的母亲对孩子的积极态度无关。此外，母亲的气质与母亲的积极和消极态度有关，但仅适用于问题行为较多的儿童。研究结果表明，儿童问题行为可能与母亲气质相互作用，以解释照顾行为中积极和消极态度的差异。
