Data from a large prospective longitudinal study (n = 1,239) was used to investigate the association between observed sensitive parenting in early childhood and children's representations of family relationships as measured by the Family Drawing Paradigm (FDP) in first grade as well as the extent to which these representations partially mediate the influences of early caregiving experiences on later conduct problems and callous-unemotional behaviors. A structural equation modeling approach revealed that less sensitive parenting at 24, 36, and 58 months predicts higher levels of conduct problems (CP) and callous-unemotional (CU) behaviors in first grade controlling for earlier measures of CP and CU behaviors. Results also indicated that greater dysfunctional family representations, as assessed with the FDP, are significantly associated with higher CU behaviors in the first grade, but not CP. Finally, a test of the indirect pathway suggests that children's dysfunctional family representations may, in part, account for the association between sensitive parenting and CU behaviors.
一项大型前瞻性纵向研究（n = 1239）的数据被用于调查幼儿期观察到的敏感育儿方式与一年级儿童通过家庭绘画范式（FDP）测量的家庭关系表征之间的关联，以及这些表征在多大程度上部分介导了早期养育经历对后期行为问题和冷酷无情行为的影响。一种结构方程建模方法表明，在控制了早期的行为问题和冷酷无情行为测量指标后，24、36和58个月时较不敏感的育儿方式预测一年级时更高水平的行为问题（CP）和冷酷无情（CU）行为。结果还表明，用FDP评估的功能失调家庭表征越多，与一年级时更高的CU行为显著相关，但与CP无关。最后，对间接路径的检验表明，儿童功能失调的家庭表征可能部分解释了敏感育儿方式与CU行为之间的关联。
