Previous research with parents and children with developmental disabilities indicated that the relationship between mothers' responsive style of interaction and children's rate of development was mediated by the simultaneous relationship between mothers' responsiveness and children's social engagement, or pivotal behavior. In this study, we attempted to determine whether children's pivotal behavior might also mediate the relationship between responsiveness and child development in a sample of 165 typically developing toddlers and their Taiwanese parents. Child development was assessed with a parent report measure of children's symbolic behavior. Parental responsiveness and children's pivotal behavior were assessed from observations of parent-child play. Results indicated that parental responsiveness was correlated with children's pivotal behavior, and that both of these variables were correlated with children's symbolic behavior. Structural equation models indicated that the relationship between responsiveness and children's symbolic behavior was fully mediated by children's pivotal behavior.
先前针对发育障碍儿童及其父母的研究表明，母亲互动反应方式与儿童发育速度之间的关系是由母亲的反应性与儿童社会参与度（即关键行为）之间的同步关系所介导的。在本研究中，我们试图确定在165名发育正常的幼儿及其台湾父母的样本中，儿童的关键行为是否也可能介导反应性与儿童发育之间的关系。儿童发育通过父母报告的儿童象征性行为测量来评估。父母的反应性和儿童的关键行为通过亲子游戏观察来评估。结果表明，父母的反应性与儿童的关键行为相关，并且这两个变量都与儿童的象征性行为相关。结构方程模型表明，反应性与儿童象征性行为之间的关系完全由儿童的关键行为所介导。
