The psychosocial determinants of early parenting are still not well understood. The current study used data on 115 girls in the Capella Project, who were followed longitudinally for the first 18 years of life. Potential predictors of early parenting assessed were child maltreatment, trauma symptoms, and girls' expectations for their socioeconomic outcomes. Cox regression survival analyses were conducted to predict time to the birth of first child. Significant unique predictors of early parenting included neglect, anxiety, low depression, and low expectations of going to college. Practice and research implications of these findings include the importance of neglect for risk of early parenting, the importance of ongoing trauma symptoms in youth, and the potentially protective influence of expectations of going to college.
早期育儿的社会心理决定因素仍未得到充分理解。当前的研究使用了卡佩拉项目中115名女孩的数据,这些女孩在生命的前18年被纵向跟踪。评估的早期育儿潜在预测因素包括儿童虐待、创伤症状以及女孩对其社会经济结果的期望。进行了Cox回归生存分析以预测第一个孩子出生的时间。早期育儿的显著独特预测因素包括忽视、焦虑、低抑郁水平以及对上大学的低期望。这些发现的实践和研究意义包括忽视对早期育儿风险的重要性、青少年持续创伤症状的重要性以及上大学期望的潜在保护作用。
