目的亲子互动过程中的同步性可能具有重要的特征，在整个发展过程中的养育过程的基础。然而，很少有人知道关于亲子生理同步性和情感养育行为之间的关联在童年中期。本研究的主要目的是探讨情感养育与学龄期儿童亲子生理同步性的正相关或负相关。方法采用生物心理社会学的观点，结合150对亲子对的心跳间期（IBI）和行为观察数据，（儿童M年龄=8.77，SD=1.80），探讨儿童的两种情绪性父母教养行为是否与儿童的两种情绪性父母教养行为有关结果我们的研究结果提供了一些初步的证据表明，在低到中等压力的情况下，模仿日常的亲子互动，亲子生理同步性是不同的情感养育行为在不同的亲子互动的情况下，指示。具体而言，在合作的情况下（父母和孩子一起工作，以完成一项任务），父母和孩子的生理同步是指示较少的心理不可用性，而在竞争的情况下（父母和孩子解决彼此的分歧），父母和孩子的生理同步是指示较少的心理控制。的研究意义和未来的研究方向进行了讨论。ConclusionsOverall，我们的研究结果表明，二元生理同步，索引的亲子时刻到时刻匹配的IBI，与较少的负面情绪的养育行为。
ObjectivesParent-child synchrony during interaction might possess important features that underlie parenting processes throughout development. However, little is known regarding the association between parent-child physiological synchrony and emotional parenting behaviors during middle childhood. The main goal of the study was to examine whether emotional parenting was positively or negatively associated with parent-child physiological synchrony for school-age children.MethodsAdopting a biopsychosocial perspective, we incorporated the interbeat interval (IBI) and behavioral observation data of 150 parent-child dyads (child M age=8.77, SD=1.80) to explore the patterns of moment-to-moment dyadic physiological synchrony and to investigate whether these patterns were associated with two emotional parenting behaviors (psychological control and psychological unavailability).ResultsOur findings provided some initial evidence that in low to moderately stressful situations that mimic daily parent-child interaction, parent-child physiological synchrony was indicative of different emotional parenting behaviors in various parent-child interactive situations. Specifically, in the collaborative context (parent-child working together to complete a task), parent-child physiological synchrony was indicative of less psychological unavailability, whereas in the competitive context (parent-child resolving disagreement with each other), parent-child physiological synchrony was indicative of less psychological control. The study implications and future research directions are discussed.ConclusionsOverall, our findings suggested that dyadic physiological synchrony, indexed by parent-child moment-to-moment matching of IBI, was associated with fewer negative emotional parenting behaviors.
