婴儿哭闹是父母关注和焦虑的一个公认来源，但人们对过度哭闹对父母或看护人的其他可能影响知之甚少。本研究的目的是探讨婴儿哭闹与父母教养压力之间的关系。在婴儿健康检查时连续登记的母亲报告了婴儿在24小时内哭泣的分钟数。过度哭泣被定义为每天24小时超过3小时。在94位母亲中，有75位在婴儿4或6个月的检查中完成了育儿压力指数（PSI）。报告过度哭泣的母亲在PSI的强化子量表上得分高的可能性是其他母亲的5.7倍。虽然这种关联的方向尚不清楚，但它表明，报告过度哭泣的母亲比其他母亲更有可能感受到婴儿缺乏积极的强化。
Infant crying is a well-recognized source of parental concern and anxiety, but little is known about other possible effects of excessive crying on parents or caretakers. The objective of this descriptive study was to investigate the relationship between reported infant crying and parenting stress. Mothers, who were consecutively enrolled at the time of their infants' well-child checkups, reported the number of minutes their infant generally cried in a 24-hour day. Excessive crying was defined as more than three hours per 24-hour day. Seventy-five of 94 mothers subsequently completed the Parenting Stress Index (PSI) at their infant's 4- or 6-month checkup. Mothers who reported excessive crying were 5.7 times more likely to score high on the reinforcement subscale of the PSI. Although the direction of this association is not known, it indicates that mothers who report excessive crying are more likely than other mothers to perceive a lack of positive reinforcement from their infants.
