The present study examined whether the inverse relation between maternal emotional distress and maternal responsiveness was mediated by mothers' parenting efficacy and parental perspective taking. Questionnaire and observational data were gathered from 94 nonclinical mother-adolescent dyads. Emotional distress was measured with multiple indicators of negative affectivity, and responsiveness was measured with self-report and observational indicators of maternal acceptance and psychological autonomy promotion. Analyses indicated that maternal emotional distress was associated with lower levels of mother- and adolescent-reported responsiveness. Moreover, the association was mediated by mothers' perceptions of their parenting efficacy. Processes by which emotional distress may affect parenting efficacy, parental perspective taking and parenting were discussed.
本研究考察了母亲情绪困扰与母亲反应性之间的反向关系是否由母亲的育儿效能感和父母的观点采择所介导。从94对非临床的母婴二元组中收集了问卷和观察数据。用消极情感的多个指标来测量情绪困扰，并用母亲接纳和促进心理自主性的自我报告及观察指标来测量反应性。分析表明，母亲情绪困扰与母亲和青少年报告的较低反应性水平相关。此外，这种关联是由母亲对自己育儿效能的认知所介导的。文中讨论了情绪困扰可能影响育儿效能、父母观点采择和育儿方式的过程。
