Depressed parents have negatively distorted views of the personalities and behaviors of their children. Our goal was to evaluate how other internalizing symptoms and personality traits relate to perceptions of child temperament using data from mothers and fathers as well as a novel statistical method for modeling multi-informant data.
We applied the trifactor model (Bauer et al., 2013) to data collected from the parents of 273 children (aged 3-5 years).
Internalizing symptoms and personality traits were related to both mothers' and fathers' perceptions of their children. Effects varied somewhat across dimensions of child temperament.
These results support concerns that psychological characteristics influence parental perceptions of their children. This research also provides insights about psychological predictors of potential parental biases.
抑郁的父母对子女的个性和行为有负面扭曲的看法。我们的目标是使用来自母亲和父亲的数据以及一种新的用于建模多信息源数据的统计方法，评估其他内化症状和人格特征与儿童气质感知的关系。
我们将三因素模型（Bauer 等人，2013）应用于从 273 名儿童（3-5 岁）的父母那里收集的数据。
内化症状和人格特征与母亲和父亲对子女的感知有关。对儿童气质各个维度的影响有所不同。
这些结果支持了心理特征影响父母对子女的看法这一观点。这项研究还提供了关于潜在父母偏见的心理预测因素的见解。
