母亲对儿童社会行为的信念可能是社会化和发展的重要贡献者，但很少有人知道这种信念是如何形成的。transmittance模型表明，儿童的特点可能会影响父母。在2岁时，害羞和攻击性行为的65名幼儿（28名女性）在与一个不熟悉的同龄人的互动过程中观察到，以及，母亲描述了他们在多大程度上主张保护和专制的育儿态度。这些变量被用来预测母亲的情绪，归因，养育目标，和社会化策略，在2年后描绘侵略性和退缩的儿童行为的小插曲。大多数儿童的影响是由母亲的态度或性别的影响。有攻击性的幼儿的权威母亲最有可能报告高度控制和愤怒，指责他们的孩子的攻击性，并专注于获得遵守，而不是教他们的孩子技能。保护性的母亲报告说，她们会用温暖和参与来安慰孤僻的孩子，尤其是她们的女儿。
Maternal beliefs about children's social behavior may be important contributors to socialization and development, but little is known about how such beliefs form. Transactional models suggest that children's characteristics may influence parents. At 2 years of age, the shy and aggressive behaviors of 65 toddlers (28 females) were observed during interactions with an unfamiliar peer; as well, mothers described the extent to which they advocated protective and authoritarian childrearing attitudes. These variables were used to predict mothers emotions, attributions, parenting goals, and socialization strategies in response to vignettes depicting aggressive and withdrawn child behaviors 2 years later. Most child effects were moderated by maternal attitudes or gender effects. Authoritarian mothers of aggressive toddlers were most likely to report high control and anger, to blame their children for aggression, and to focus on obtaining compliance rather than teaching skills to their children. Protective mothers reported that they would use warmth and involvement to comfort withdrawn children, especially their daughters.
