这项工作的目的是研究复杂的相互关系，母亲的早期温和的控制和敏感性，在预测儿童的努力控制（EC）和学业功能。母亲温柔的控制，母亲的敏感性，和儿童的EC测量时，儿童18，30，和42个月的年龄（T1，T2，和T3，分别），和儿童的学习功能的措施，在72和84个月（T5/T6; Ns= 255，222，200，162，和143）相结合。使用结构方程模型，结果表明，T1母亲的敏感性调节T1母亲温和的控制和T2 EC之间的关系，和T3 EC预测儿童以后的学业功能。有证据表明，温和的调解，这样，当母亲的敏感性高，儿童的EC调解T1母亲温和的控制和儿童的学业功能之间的关系，即使在控制结构的稳定性。在母亲敏感性较低的情况下，母亲温和控制与儿童EC的关系不显著。父母的计划提供的影响和未来的研究方向进行了讨论。
The goal of this work was to examine the complex interrelation of mothers’ early gentle control and sensitivity in predicting children’s effortful control (EC) and academic functioning. Maternal gentle control, maternal sensitivity, and children’s EC were measured when children were 18, 30, and 42 months of age (T1, T2, and T3, respectively), and measures of children’s academic functioning were combined across 72 and 84 months (T5/T6; Ns= 255, 222, 200, 162, and 143). Using structural equation modeling, results demonstrated that T1 maternal sensitivity moderated the relation between T1 maternal gentle control and T2 EC, and T3 EC predicted children’s later academic functioning. There was evidence for moderated mediation, such that when maternal sensitivity was high, children’s EC mediated the relation between T1 maternal gentle control and children’s academic functioning, even after controlling for stability of the constructs. The relation between maternal gentle control and children’s EC was not significant under conditions of low maternal sensitivity. Implications for parenting programs are offered and future research directions are discussed.
