Abstract

Abstract:This study examined the reciprocal associations between sleep (duration and quality) and aggressive behavior in toddlers. The sample consisted of 82 children (43 boys and 39 girls) and their parents who completed two assessments, when children were 2 and 3 years old. At both time points, children wore an actigraph for 3 consecutive days to assess their sleep patterns, and both their parents reported on their child’s aggressive behavior. The results indicated negative associations between sleep quality at age 2 and both parents’ evaluations of aggressive behavior at age 3; in contrast, the relations between aggression at age 2 and sleep (duration or quality) at age 3 were small and nonsignificant. In line with studies of older children and adolescents, these results suggest that sleep difficulties are more likely to favor the emergence of aggressive behavior among young children than the converse.
幼儿的睡眠与攻击行为:调查关联的方向性
摘要:本研究考察了幼儿睡眠(持续时间和质量)与攻击行为之间的相互关系。样本包括82名儿童(43名男孩和39名女孩)及其父母,他们在孩子2岁和3岁时完成了两次评估。在这两个时间点,孩子们连续3天佩戴活动记录仪来评估他们的睡眠模式,他们的父母都报告了孩子的攻击行为。研究结果表明,2岁时的睡眠质量与父母对3岁时攻击行为的评价呈负相关;相反,2岁时的攻击性与3岁时的睡眠(持续时间或质量)之间的关系较小且不显著。与对年龄较大的儿童和青少年的研究一致,这些结果表明,睡眠困难比相反的情况更有可能促使幼儿出现攻击性行为。
