Abstract

Abstract:The study evaluated the relationship between maternal anxiety, depression and parenting stress, and maternal mind-mindedness, styles of interaction, and mother–infant emotion regulation. At infant age 3 months, EPDS, STAI, and PSI-SF were administered to 73 mothers to respectively assess depression, anxiety, and parenting stress; mother–infant interaction was coded with the mind-mindedness coding system, the CARE-Index and the Infant Caregiver Engagement Phases (ICEP). Results showed that maternal anxiety had a positive correlation with non-attuned mind-related comments, with mother's controlling style, and with infant negative and mother negative emotional states. Maternal depression had a positive correlation with mother's controlling style and with mother–infant dyadic negative emotion regulation. Parenting stress was associated with mother–infant emotion mismatches. To sum up, anxiety was the maternal mental health risk condition that had the greatest effect on the considered dimensions of parenting. Mind-mindedness was shown to be related to mother–infant emotion regulation, but not to sensitive style.

母亲的心智、互动方式和母婴情绪调节：与婴儿三个月大时母亲心理健康的关系

摘要:本研究评估了母亲焦虑、抑郁和育儿压力与母亲心智、互动方式和母婴情绪调节的关系。在婴儿3个月时，对73名母亲进行EPDS、STAI和PSI-SF，分别评估抑郁、焦虑和育儿压力;采用心智编码系统、关怀指数和婴儿照顾者参与阶段(ICEP)对母婴互动进行编码。结果表明，母亲焦虑与非调谐心理相关评论、母亲控制方式、婴儿消极情绪状态和母亲消极情绪状态呈正相关。母亲抑郁与母亲控制方式和母婴二元负性情绪调节呈正相关。育儿压力与母婴情绪不匹配有关。综上所述，焦虑是母亲心理健康风险状况，对育儿的考虑维度影响最大。心智倾向被证明与母婴情绪调节有关，但与敏感风格无关。
