Abstract

In this study, maternal socialization goals in early childhood were linked to qualities of children's self in middle childhood, while also considering maternal education and child gender. Estonian mothers (N = 209; M_age = 33.6; 52.2% had university education) provided ratings of their socialization goals for children (52.2% girls; M_age = 6.2), children's self was gauged 4 years later. The more mothers endorsed social conformity-related socialization goals, the fewer different autonomy-related (β = −0.15) and relatedness-related qualities of self (β = −0.21) their children had in their descriptions of themselves and their autobiographical memories. Mothers' self-maximization socialization goals were not linked to the qualities of children's self. Mothers without a university degree endorsed social conformity-related socialization goals more than mothers with a university degree (β = −0.20). Girls referred to more relatedness-related qualities than boys (β = 0.23). The results show that maternal socialization goals do not always have a straightforward effect on different qualities of children's self. Yet, conformity-related goals by mothers predict the qualities of children's later self.

Highlights

Children's self is predicted by gender and earlier maternal socialization goals.
Mother's social conformity-related socialization goals predict children's later self.
Self-maximization related socialization goals are not linked to children's self.

母亲在幼儿期的社会化目标能否预测孩子日后的自我？

在这项研究中，母亲在幼儿期的社会化目标与儿童在中年期的自我品质相关联，同时也考虑了母亲的教育和儿童的性别。爱沙尼亚母亲（人数 = 209；年龄 = 33.6；52.2% 接受过大学教育）对其子女（52.2% 为女孩；年龄 = 6.2）的社会化目标进行了评分，4 年后对子女的自我进行了测量。母亲越赞同与社会一致性相关的社会化目标，其子女在自我描述和自传记忆中与自主性（β = -0.15）和相关性（β = -0.21）相关的自我品质就越少。母亲的自我最大化社会化目标与子女的自我品质无关。没有大学学历的母亲比有大学学历的母亲更赞同与社会一致性相关的社会化目标（β = -0.20）。与男孩相比，女孩更多提及与相关性有关的品质（β = 0.23）。结果表明，母亲的社会化目标并不总是对儿童不同的自我品质产生直接影响。然而，母亲与顺应相关的目标却能预测儿童日后的自我特质。亮点儿童的自我特质是由性别和母亲早期的社会化目标预测的。母亲与社会一致性相关的社会化目标可预测儿童日后的自我。与自我最大化相关的社会化目标与儿童的自我无关。
