Evidence from a study conducted at the New York Foundling Hospital and Albert Einstein College of Medicine, as well as previous research by the investigators, shows that abusive mothers are insensitive to the moods and signals of their children. A quantitative analysis of videotaped interaction sequences of 12 mother-child dyads indicated that abusive mothers spend less time looking at their children, are less focused in their attention on them, barrage them with words and actions that are unmodulated by the child's response, are physically coercive, and spend more time issuing directives and orders than mothers from similar backgrounds who do not physically abuse their children. We suggest that child abuse is part of a complex interaction system characterized by lack of mutual attunement between caretaker and child, of which acts of physical violence are dramatic exemplars. These data support the view that in order to ameliorate parenting skills of abusive parents, interactive patterns that appear early in the caretaker-child relationship must be understood and addressed.
纽约弃儿医院和阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院进行的一项研究以及研究人员之前的研究证据表明，虐待孩子的母亲对孩子的情绪和信号不敏感。对12对母婴互动序列录像的定量分析表明，与来自类似背景但不虐待孩子身体的母亲相比，虐待孩子的母亲看孩子的时间更少，对孩子的注意力更不集中，用孩子无法回应调节的言语和行为攻击孩子，有身体强迫行为，并且下达指令和命令的时间更多。我们认为，虐待儿童是一个复杂互动系统的一部分，其特征是照顾者和孩子之间缺乏相互协调，身体暴力行为就是其中的显著例子。这些数据支持这样一种观点，即要改善虐待型父母的育儿技能，就必须理解并解决在照顾者与孩子关系早期出现的互动模式问题。
