目的本研究扩展了已有的关于幼儿气质在亲子关系质量和幼儿自我控制之间的调节作用的研究。特别是，我们专注于潜在的调节作用，早期婴儿气质的一个维度被称为行为抑制。在环境敏感性个体差异的素质-压力、优势-敏感性和差异易感性模型中制定的假设进行了测试。数据来自千禧年队列研究，这是一项具有全国代表性的出生队列研究，包括2000/01年在英国出生的18552名婴儿。结果结果表明，亲子关系和亲子关系的质量都与幼儿自我控制能力的发展有关。此外，婴儿气质的个体差异调节了母子冲突与儿童自我控制发展的关系。具体来说，高行为抑制在母子冲突中表现出优势-敏感模式。结论：母亲和父亲与幼儿关系的各个方面都独立地预测了自我控制的变化。这项研究也提供了一个初步的迹象，即行为抑制，一种以焦虑的风险因素而闻名的气质特征，可能对幼儿的自我控制发展有很小的好处。
ObjectiveThis study extends existing research on the role of infant temperament as a moderator of the association between the quality of parent–child relationships and children's self‐control during the pre‐school years. In particular, we focus on the potential moderating role of a dimension of early infant temperament known as behavioral inhibition. Assumptions formulated within the diathesis‐stress, the vantage‐sensitivity, and the differential susceptibility models of individual differences in environmental sensitivity are tested.MethodData are from the Millennium Cohort Study, a nationally representative birth cohort of 18,552 infants born in the United Kingdom during 2000/01.ResultsThe results show that the quality of both mother–child and father–child relationships are associated with children's development of self‐control in early childhood. Additionally, individual differences in infant temperament moderate the association between mother–child conflict and children's development of self‐control. Specifically, high behavioral inhibition shows a vantage‐sensitivity pattern for mother–child conflict.ConclusionsAspects of both mothers' and fathers' relationships with their young children independently predict variations in self‐control. This study also provides an initial indication that behavioral inhibition, a temperamental trait best‐known for being a risk factor for anxiety, may provide small benefits in relation to young children's self‐control development.
