: Adults who have been maltreated as children are at risk for a variety of adverse sequalae that can have a negative impact on parents' emotion-related socialization behaviours (ERSBs) and contribute to the intergenerational transmission of emotion regulation difficulties. However, various supports may reduce unsupportive behaviours. Informed by Belsky's (1984) determinants of parenting model, the goal of the present study was to examine multi-level stressors and supports that may contribute to, or discourage, parents' use of unsupportive ERSBs. : Mothers and young adults (aged 18-25) from across Canada participated in an online study ( = 185 dyads). Mothers responded to questionnaires assessing multi-level stressors and supports, while young adults reported on their mothers' ERSBs during adolescence. : A hierarchical regression analysis revealed that mothers who reported more impulse control difficulties, who experienced greater revictimization, and who had more severe dissociative symptoms were rated as higher in their use of unsupportive contingencies. However, when contextual supports were added into the model, only revictimization remained associated with unsupportive contingencies. Furthermore, mothers' positive perceptions of the parent-child relationship were negatively associated with unsupportive contingencies. : Preventing revictimization amongst survivors of child maltreatment may be an effective way to prevent the intergenerational continuity of unsupportive emotion socialization and emotion regulation difficulties. Interventions that improve parent-child attachment relationships may also be beneficial to survivors who want to break the cycle of maladaptive parenting.
童年期遭受过虐待的成年人面临着各种不良后果的风险，这些后果会对父母与情感相关的社会化行为（ERSB）产生负面影响，并导致情绪调节困难的代际传递。然而，各种支持可能会减少不支持性的行为。基于贝尔斯基（1984年）的育儿模式决定因素，本研究的目的是探讨可能促成或阻碍父母使用不支持性ERSB的多层次压力源和支持因素。来自加拿大各地的母亲和年轻人（18 - 25岁）参与了一项在线研究（n = 185对）。母亲们回答了评估多层次压力源和支持因素的问卷，而年轻人报告了他们母亲在青春期的ERSB情况。层次回归分析显示，报告有更多冲动控制困难、经历过更多再次受害情况以及有更严重解离症状的母亲，在使用不支持性偶发事件方面的评分更高。然而，当将背景支持因素纳入模型时，只有再次受害情况仍与不支持性偶发事件相关。此外，母亲对亲子关系的积极看法与不支持性偶发事件呈负相关。预防受虐儿童幸存者再次受害可能是防止不支持性情感社会化和情绪调节困难代际延续的有效方法。改善亲子依恋关系的干预措施可能也有利于那些想要打破适应不良育儿循环的幸存者。
