This research examined whether American and Chinese mothers' tendencies to base their worth on children's performance contributes to their affective responses to children's performance. Study 1 used daily interviews to assess mothers' warmth (vs. hostility) and children's school performance (N = 197; M = 12.81 years). In Study 2, such affect was observed in the laboratory following children's manipulated performance on cognitive problems (N = 128; M = 10.21 years). The more mothers based their worth on children's performance, the more their warmth (vs. hostility) decreased when children failed in Study 1. This pattern was evident only among Chinese mothers in Study 2. In both studies, child-based worth did not contribute to mothers' affective responses to children's success.
本研究考察了美中母亲是否倾向于将自己的价值建立在孩子的表现之上，这是否导致了她们对孩子表现的情感反应。研究 1 使用每日访谈评估了母亲的温暖（与敌意相对）和孩子的学校表现（N=197；M=12.81 岁）。在研究 2 中，在孩子们在认知问题上表现不佳后，在实验室中观察到了这种影响（N=128；M=10.21 岁）。母亲越将自己的价值建立在孩子的表现之上，当孩子在研究 1 中失败时，她们的温暖（与敌意相对）就越低。在研究 2 中，这种模式仅在华裔母亲中明显。在这两项研究中，以孩子为基础的价值都不会导致母亲对孩子成功的情感反应。
