The links among mothers' compassionate love for their child, autonomic nervous system activity, and parenting behavior during less and more challenging mother-child interactions were examined. Mothers expressed and reported less negative affect when they exhibited autonomic patterns of increased parasympathetic dominance (high parasympathetic and low sympathetic activation) or autonomic coactivation (high parasympathetic and high sympathetic activation) during the less challenging interaction and autonomic coactivation during the more challenging interaction. Compassionate love predicted less reported and observed negativity in mothers who showed increased sympathetic nervous system dominance (high sympathetic and low parasympathetic activation). Compassionate love appeared to help mothers, and particularly those who experienced strong physiological arousal during difficult parenting situations, establish positive socialization contexts for their children and avoid stress-induced adverse parenting.
研究了母亲对孩子的关爱、自主神经系统活动以及在挑战性较小和较大的母婴互动中养育行为之间的联系。在挑战性较小的互动中，当母亲表现出副交感神经优势增强（高副交感神经和低交感神经激活）或自主神经共同激活（高副交感神经和高交感神经激活）的自主模式，以及在挑战性较大的互动中表现出自主神经共同激活时，她们表达和报告的负面情绪较少。关爱预示着在交感神经系统优势增强（高交感神经和低副交感神经激活）的母亲中，报告和观察到的负面情绪较少。关爱似乎有助于母亲，尤其是那些在困难的养育情境中经历强烈生理唤醒的母亲，为孩子建立积极的社交环境，并避免压力导致的不良养育方式。
