背景：这项研究考察了差异易感性假设，因为它与婴儿气质、父母教养方式和一年级行为问题之间的关系有关。方法：利用NICHD幼儿保育研究的数据，对父母教养方式的三个方面(严厉、敏感、生产性)与气质之间的相互作用进行了一系列的分层回归分析，以探讨它们对一年级教师报告的外化行为的影响。第一步包括家庭收入与需求、母亲教育、性别、生活事件和托儿量作为控制变量，加上婴儿气质和三个育儿变量。第二步包括一个单独的交互作用项，即一个关键的父母养育变量和孩子气质之间的交互作用。结果：气质不好儿童的母性敏感与行为问题之间存在较强的相关性。同样，对于脾气不好的孩子来说，提高生产力的机会和行为问题之间的关系更强。严厉的育儿方式的趋势是相同的，但没有达到统计学上的显著水平。结论：对于脾气不好的孩子来说，获得促进应对和建立自我调节能力的经验似乎特别有价值。
Background: This study examines the differential susceptibility hypothesis as it pertains to relations between infant temperament, parenting, and behavior problems in first grade. Method: Data from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care were used in a series of hierarchical regression analyses focused on interactions between three aspects of parenting (harshness, sensitivity, productive activity) and temperament as they affect teacher-reported externalizing behavior in first grade. Step # 1 included family income-to-needs, maternal education, gender, life events, and amount of child care as control variables, plus infant temperament and the three parenting variables. Step # 2 included a single interaction term, the interaction between one of the key parenting variables and child temperament. Results: Results showed stronger relations between maternal sensitivity and behavior problems for children with difficult temperaments. Likewise, relations between opportunities for productivity and behavior problems were stronger for children with difficult temperaments. Trends were in the same direction for harsh parenting but did not quite reach statistical significance. Conclusions: Having access to experiences that promote coping and build self-regulatory capacities seems particularly valuable for children with difficult temperaments.
