Abstract

The development of externalizing behavior in young children is shaped by the complex interaction of temperament, neural mechanisms, and environmental factors. This study explored how child frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA) and child negative affect jointly moderate the relationship between mindful parenting and child externalizing behavior. The sample, drawn from families in the Netherlands, included reports from 128 mothers and 103 partners on mindful parenting, and on children's negative affect and externalizing behavior. FAA was measured in 95 four-year-old children during an EEG session while they watched an animated video. Results indicated that children with high negative affect and greater left-sided FAA displayed the most externalizing behavior when maternal mindful parenting was low, but the least when mindful parenting was high. In contrast, no significant effects were found for children with lower negative affect or in partner-reported data. These findings suggest that children with both high negative affect and greater left-sided FAA are more sensitive to the quality of mindful parenting, particularly from mothers, aligning with the environmental sensitivity framework. Future research should replicate these findings, ideally in a larger sample, and further examine the long-term, cumulative impact of FAA and negative affect on the development of behavioral problems.

消极情绪如何调节正念教养对儿童外化行为的影响:额叶α不对称作为环境敏感性因素。
幼儿外化行为的发展是由气质、神经机制和环境因素的复杂相互作用形成的。本研究探讨了儿童额叶α不对称(FAA)和儿童负性情绪如何共同调节正念教养与儿童外化行为的关系。样本来自荷兰的家庭,包括128位母亲和103位伴侣关于用心育儿、孩子的负面影响和外化行为的报告。研究人员在95名4岁儿童观看动画视频时,对他们的脑电图进行了测量。结果表明,负性情绪高、左侧FAA大的儿童在母亲正念教养水平低时外化行为最多,而在正念教养水平高时外化行为最少。相比之下,对于负面情绪较低的儿童或伴侣报告的数据,没有发现显著的影响。这些研究结果表明,具有高负面情绪和更大左侧FAA的儿童对用心养育的质量更敏感,尤其是来自母亲的,这与环境敏感性框架一致。未来的研究应该复制这些发现,最好是在更大的样本中,并进一步检查FAA的长期累积影响和对行为问题发展的负面影响。
