本研究考察了54月龄至5年级儿童社会适应与母亲敏感性、父亲敏感性之间的相互关系。本研究以美国国家儿童健康与发展研究所的儿童早期保育与青少年发展研究（N = 829）为样本，采用结构残差自回归潜轨迹模型（ALT-SR）分析了父母敏感性与儿童社会适应之间的特征和状态关系。在考虑性状因素后，在自回归交叉滞后面板模型中发现的所有显著自回归和交叉滞后路径中，在ALT-SR模型中仍然显著的路径不到三分之一。更具体地说，在ALT-SR模型中，父亲更多地观察到父母驱动效应，儿童社交技能与父亲敏感性之间存在儿童驱动效应。综上所述，父母长期敏感的集中倾向似乎是一种稳定的特征，并且经历较少的州一级波动，而这些似乎对孩子表现出良好调整的总体倾向更为重要，而不是随着时间的推移而变化。
This study examined the reciprocal relations among maternal sensitivity, paternal sensitivity, and children's social adjustment from 54 months of age to 5th grade. Using a subsample from the National Institute of Child Health and Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (N = 829), we employed an autoregressive latent trajectory model with structured residuals (ALT-SR) to unpack the trait and state aspects in the relations between parental sensitivity and children's social adjustment. After taking into account trait factors, among all the significant autoregressive and cross-lagged paths originally found in the autoregressive cross-lagged panel models, less than one third of them remained significant in the ALT-SR model. More specifically, in the ALT-SR model, more parent-driven effects were observed for fathers and child-driven effects were detected between children's social skills and fathers' sensitivity. Taken together, it appears that parents' central tendency to be sensitive in the long term is a stable trait, and experiences less state-level fluctuations, and these appear to matter more for children's general tendency to show well adjustment as opposed to change over time.
