This longitudinal study highlights the role of specific parenting behaviors in specific contexts when predicting moral development in children of varying temperament types. A sample of mother-child dyads took part in a competing demands task involving differing "do" and "don't" contextual demands when the child was 2 years of age. Child temperament was also assessed at this time, yielding inhibited, exuberant, and low-reactive temperament groups. Children's moral behavior was assessed at 5.5 years of age. Models examining the interaction of temperament and mother behaviors in each context indicated that mother's reasoning/explanation and ignoring in the "do" context predicted later moral behavior in inhibited children, whereas redirection and commands in the "don't" context predicted moral behavior in exuberant children.
这项纵向研究突出了特定养育行为在特定情境中对不同气质类型儿童道德发展进行预测时所起的作用。一组母婴样本在孩子2岁时参与了一项涉及不同“做”与“不做”情境要求的竞争性需求任务。此时还对儿童气质进行了评估，划分出抑制型、活泼型和低反应型气质组。在孩子5.5岁时对其道德行为进行了评估。考察每种情境中气质与母亲行为相互作用的模型表明，在“做”的情境中母亲的推理/解释和忽视行为能够预测抑制型儿童日后的道德行为，而在“不做”的情境中母亲的引导和指令能够预测活泼型儿童的道德行为。
