本研究采用短期纵向设计（6个月），在社区样本儿童（N = 80，年龄33-40个月，时间1）中，研究了累积背景风险作为努力控制（EC）和社会能力的预测因子。母亲养育子女的背景风险的调解人进行了检查。EC进行了评估，使用实验室任务，并使用观察评级的父母进行了评估。在控制了时间1 EC后，时间1背景风险与时间2 EC呈负相关。母亲的限制设置和脚手架预测较高的时间2 EC和占的影响，上下文风险。时间1 EC，背景风险，和父母的预测时间2的社会能力，和背景风险通过父母的社会能力有间接的影响。结果表明，背景风险预测较小的相对增加EC和养育占这种效果。对转移或促进努力控制的因素的了解可以为干预提供目标，以提高努力控制能力和更好的调整。(C)2006年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Using a short-term longitudinal design (6 months), this study examined cumulative contextual risk as a predictor of effortful control (EC) and social competence in a community sample of children (N = 80, ages 33-40 months at time 1). Maternal parenting was examined as a mediator of contextual risk. EC was assessed using laboratory tasks, and parenting was assessed using observational ratings. Time 1 contextual risk was negatively related to time 2 EC after controlling for time 1 EC. Mothers' limit setting and scaffolding predicted higher time 2 EC and accounted for the effect of contextual risk. Time 1 EC, contextual risk, and parenting predicted time 2 social competence, and contextual risk had an indirect effect on social competence through parenting. Results suggest that contextual risk predicts smaller relative increases in EC and that parenting accounts for this effect. Knowledge of the factors that divert or promote effortful control can provide targets for intervention to enhance effortful control abilities and better adjustment. (C) 2006 Elsevier Inc.
