This investigation examined differences between mothers of behavior-problem boys (MBP; n = 20) and mothers of average boys (MAB; n = 20) in processing information in compliance situations (mean ages; mothers = 30 years, children = 8 years). Mothers responded to videorecorded stimuli of child behavior cues. Compliant and oppositional stimuli were clear regarding whether the child was going to obey the mother; however, bargaining and complaining were ambiguous. MBPs made greater attributions of defiant intent toward the child and experienced more anger than did MABs in ambiguous stimulus situations. MBPs also expected more resistance from the child and experienced more anxiety than did MABs, in all stimulus situations (ambiguous and clear). Differences between group mean processing scores were greater under conditions of stimulus ambiguity than under conditions of stimulus clarity. Findings are discussed in terms of the interface of mother-child relationship history and the child's current behavioral cues.
本研究调查了有行为问题男孩的母亲(MBP;n = 20)与普通男孩的母亲(MAB;n = 20)在顺从情境中处理信息的差异(平均年龄;母亲 = 30岁,孩子 = 8岁)。母亲们对儿童行为线索的视频记录刺激做出反应。顺从和对立的刺激在孩子是否会听从母亲方面是明确的;然而,讨价还价和抱怨的情况则不明确。在模棱两可的刺激情境中,有行为问题男孩的母亲比普通男孩的母亲对孩子的挑衅意图有更多的归因,并且体验到更多的愤怒。在所有刺激情境(模棱两可和明确)中,有行为问题男孩的母亲也比普通男孩的母亲预期孩子会有更多的反抗,并且体验到更多的焦虑。刺激模糊条件下的组平均处理分数差异比刺激清晰条件下的更大。研究结果从母子关系历史与孩子当前行为线索的界面角度进行了讨论。
