Socioeconomic disadvantage is associated with poorer behavioral and emotional outcomes in children with asthma. This study investigated the associations between maternal income and education and naturalistically observed behaviors and affect during everyday parent-child interactions.
53 predominantly low-income youth with asthma, aged 10-17 years, wore a naturalistic event-sampling device, the Electronically Activated Recorder, for 4 days to assess mother and child positive behaviors and affect in daily life.
Maternal education, but not income, was positively associated with child positive behaviors, displays of mother and child positive affect, and increased maternal responsiveness. Maternal positive affect and maternal responsiveness mediated the effect of maternal education on child positive affect.
Our findings suggest that maternal education has an important influence on the socioemotional adjustment of youth with asthma and point to the importance of investigating the independent influence of socioeconomic status components on everyday parent-child interactions.
社会经济劣势与哮喘患儿较差的行为和情绪结果相关。本研究调查了母亲收入和教育程度与日常亲子互动中自然观察到的行为及情感之间的关联。
53名年龄在10至17岁之间、主要为低收入的哮喘青少年佩戴了一种自然事件采样设备——电子激活记录仪,为期4天,以评估母子在日常生活中的积极行为和情感。
母亲的教育程度而非收入与孩子的积极行为、母子积极情感的表现以及母亲反应性的提高呈正相关。母亲的积极情感和母亲反应性介导了母亲教育程度对孩子积极情感的影响。
我们的研究结果表明,母亲的教育程度对哮喘青少年的社会情感适应有重要影响,并指出调查社会经济地位各组成部分对日常亲子互动的独立影响的重要性。
