Abstract

Previous research indicates that child temperament and maternal behaviors are related to internalizing behaviors in children. We assessed whether maternal intrusiveness (MI) observed at 10-months would moderate the impact of temperamental fear and the impact of inhibitory control (IC) at 24 months on anxiety problems at 36 months. A mother-child interaction task was coded for MI. Behavioral tasks were given to assess children’s IC. Parents completed questionnaires about their children’s temperamental fear and anxiety problems. Results showed that greater temperamental fear reported at 24 months predicted greater anxiety problems reported at 36 months, regardless of MI levels. Lower levels of IC at 24 months predicted more anxiety problems reported at 36 months when children experienced greater MI. These findings illustrate the importance of examining both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, independently and interactively, that contribute to children’s anxiety problems in toddlerhood.

评估幼儿期社区样本中的焦虑问题：儿童气质和母亲侵入性的影响

以往的研究表明，儿童的气质和母亲的行为与儿童的内化行为有关。我们评估了 10 个月大时观察到的母亲侵扰性（MI）是否会缓和气质恐惧的影响以及 24 个月大时抑制控制（IC）对 36 个月大时焦虑问题的影响。对母子互动任务进行了 MI 编码。行为任务用于评估儿童的抑制控制能力。家长填写了有关孩子脾气恐惧和焦虑问题的问卷。结果表明，无论多元智能水平如何，24 个月时的脾气恐惧程度越高，36 个月时的焦虑问题就越严重。如果儿童在 24 个月时的集成电路水平较低，则在 36 个月时会出现更多的焦虑问题。这些研究结果表明，对导致幼儿期儿童焦虑问题的内在和外在因素进行独立和交互式研究非常重要。

期刊介绍： Infant Behavior & Development publishes empirical (fundamental and clinical), theoretical, methodological and review papers. Brief reports dealing with behavioral development during infancy (up to 3 years) will also be considered. Papers of an inter- and multidisciplinary nature, for example neuroscience, non-linear dynamics and modelling approaches, are particularly encouraged. Areas covered by the journal include cognitive development, emotional development, perception, perception-action coupling, motor development and socialisation.
