This study investigates the influence of family of origin on parental responsiveness toward own child, taking into account gender differences. A total of 110 triads of mothers, fathers, and their first child aged 6-10 months participated in the standardized Free Play procedure. Parental responsiveness was assessed through observational measures (using Ainsworth procedure) and self-reported scales (Parental Responsiveness Scale). Results revealed correlations between objectively assessed responsiveness and self-reported parental styles in the family of origin, separately for mothers and fathers. Among mothers having daughters, parental sensitivity (an important aspect of observationally measured responsiveness) was positively correlated with having had a liberal loving mother and a negative correlation with an autocratic mother. Cooperation (another aspect of observationally measured responsiveness) was correlated positively with having had a liberal loving mother. Meanwhile, having a liberal unloving mother predicted lover sensitivity and cooperation. Similar correlations were not observed for mothers having sons. Among fathers having daughters, both aspects of observed responsiveness were positively correlated with having had a democratic father and negatively with autocratic or liberal unloving parents. Moreover, having a liberal unloving father and autocratic mother predicted their lower responsiveness toward daughters. These findings highlight the role of family dynamics in shaping parental responsiveness and emphasize the importance of understanding these dynamics in promoting responsive parenting.
本研究探讨了原生家庭对父母对自己孩子反应性的影响，并考虑了性别差异。共有110组母亲、父亲及其6至10个月大的第一个孩子参与了标准化的自由玩耍程序。通过观察性测量（使用安斯沃思程序）和自我报告量表（父母反应性量表）对父母的反应性进行评估。结果分别揭示了母亲和父亲在原生家庭中客观评估的反应性与自我报告的父母教养方式之间的相关性。在有女儿的母亲中，父母敏感性（观察性测量反应性的一个重要方面）与有一个开明慈爱的母亲呈正相关，与专制的母亲呈负相关。合作（观察性测量反应性的另一个方面）与有一个开明慈爱的母亲呈正相关。同时，有一个开明却不慈爱的母亲预示着较低的敏感性和合作性。在有儿子的母亲中未观察到类似的相关性。在有女儿的父亲中，观察到的反应性的两个方面都与有一个民主的父亲呈正相关，与专制或开明却不慈爱的父母呈负相关。此外，有一个开明却不慈爱的父亲和专制的母亲预示着他们对女儿的反应性较低。这些发现突出了家庭动态在塑造父母反应性中的作用，并强调了理解这些动态对促进积极响应式育儿的重要性。
