This study used self-determination theory to examine the intergenerational continuity of the social situation of development with a focus on what determines a woman's basic psychological need support for her child.
To assess the relationship between the basic need support a woman received from her own mother, the woman's basic need support toward her own child, and the quality of the woman-child interaction.
The scales, "Parent-child interaction" and "Basic Psychological Needs," were administered. Eighty-seven women (29-40 years old) with children age 4-5 years assessed the basic need support provided for them by their mother in childhood and at present, and her estimate of the basic need support she herself provides to her own child. Analyses included descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, factor analysis, and multiple linear regression.
The ratio of levels of basic need support demonstrated continuity across generations. Intergenerational continuity in the child's basic need support mainly concerns the needs for competence and relatedness: the more they were supported in childhood and are now supported by the woman's mother, the more the woman supports them in her own child today. Such continuity was not found for autonomy support. A woman's own basic need support by her mother, in childhood and currently, and the woman's provision of basic need support for her child predicted most of the woman-child interaction parameters.
Intergenerational continuity with respect to provision of basic need support was shown. The woman-child interaction was predicted by basic need support across intergenerational relations.
本研究运用自我决定理论来检验发展社会状况的代际连续性,重点关注决定女性对其子女基本心理需求支持的因素。
评估女性从自己母亲那里获得的基本需求支持、女性对自己孩子的基本需求支持以及母婴互动质量之间的关系。
采用了“亲子互动”和“基本心理需求”量表。87名年龄在29至40岁之间且子女年龄为4至5岁的女性,评估了她们童年时期和目前从母亲那里获得的基本需求支持,以及她们对自己为孩子提供的基本需求支持的估计。分析包括描述性统计、威尔科克森符号秩检验、因子分析和多元线性回归。
基本需求支持水平的比例显示出代际连续性。儿童基本需求支持的代际连续性主要涉及能力和关联性需求:她们在童年时期得到的支持越多,现在从母亲那里得到的支持越多,那么该女性如今对自己孩子的支持就越多。自主性支持方面未发现这种连续性。女性童年时期和当前从母亲那里获得的自身基本需求支持,以及女性为自己孩子提供的基本需求支持,预测了大部分母婴互动参数。
研究表明在提供基本需求支持方面存在代际连续性。跨代际关系中的基本需求支持预测了母婴互动。
