In a sample of 60 primiparous women, cardiac response and ratings of subjective aversiveness to recordings of unfamiliar infant cries were studied at 32 weeks' gestation. Regression analyses were used to examine relations between cardiac acceleration and subjective aversiveness and 3 groups of postnatal dependent variables: perception of infant temperament, the mother's emotional state, and her appraisal of her marriage. Mothers who prenatally rated the cry recordings as more aversive postnatally described their 3-month-old infants as more fussy/difficult and unpredictable. With statistical control for prenatal variation on the emotional state and marital outcome measures, cardiac acceleration predicted later marital quality. Women who showed greater cardiac acceleration to the cries described their postnatal marital relationships more negatively.
在60名初产妇的样本中，研究了她们在妊娠32周时对陌生婴儿哭声录音的心脏反应和主观厌恶评分。采用回归分析来检验心脏加速与主观厌恶感之间的关系，以及三组产后相关变量：对婴儿气质的感知、母亲的情绪状态和她对婚姻的评价。产前将哭声录音评为更厌恶的母亲，产后将她们3个月大的婴儿描述为更爱哭闹/难带且难以预测。在对情绪状态和婚姻结局测量的产前差异进行统计控制后，心脏加速可预测后期的婚姻质量。对哭声表现出更大心脏加速的女性，对她们产后婚姻关系描述得更消极。
