This study examined genetic and environmental influences on harsh parenting of adopted 9-month-olds (N = 503), with an emphasis on positive child-, parent-, and family-level characteristics. Evocative gene-environment correlation (rGE) was examined by testing the effect of both positive and negative indices of birth parent temperament on adoptive parents' harsh parenting. Adoptive fathers' harsh parenting was inversely related to birth mother positive temperament, indicating evocative rGE, as well as to marital quality. Adoptive parents' negative temperamental characteristics were related to hostile parenting for both fathers and mothers. Findings support the importance of enhancing positive family characteristics in addition to mitigating negative characteristics, as well as engaging multiple levels of the family system to prevent harsh parenting.
本研究考察了遗传和环境对503名9个月大被收养儿童的严厉养育方式的影响,重点关注儿童、父母和家庭层面的积极特征。通过测试亲生父母气质的积极和消极指标对养父母严厉养育方式的影响,来检验唤起性基因-环境相关性(rGE)。养父的严厉养育方式与亲生母亲的积极气质呈负相关,表明存在唤起性rGE,同时也与婚姻质量相关。养父母的消极气质特征与父母双方的敌意养育方式有关。研究结果支持了除减轻消极特征外,增强积极家庭特征以及涉及家庭系统多个层面以预防严厉养育方式的重要性。
