父母教养观念和归因会影响父母教养行为。我们采用收养设计来研究围产期风险和生母健康状况不佳，养父母对生母心理健康的评估以及养父母对收养婴儿的感受和行为的遗传归因之间的关联。361对养父母和生母的样本进行了采访，使用标准化的措施时，婴儿4至9个月大。当婴儿9个月大时，在游戏任务中观察到母亲和父亲的行为。我们发现，养母和养父对生母健康的评价与围产期风险和生母健康状况差有关。在考虑了可能影响孩子的评价和归因的特征后，母亲的评价与敌对的养育方式有关。养父不存在这些联系。遗传归因与养母和养父在养育子女时的日常烦恼感有关。这些发现对预防和干预具有重要意义。
Parenting beliefs and attributions can influence parenting behavior. We used an adoption design to examine the associations among perinatal risk and poor birth mother health, adoptive parent appraisals of birth mothers’ mental health, and genetic attributions to adoptive parents’ feelings and behaviors toward their adopted infants. A sample of 361 pairs of adoptive parents and birth mothers were interviewed using standardized measures when infants were between 4 and 9 months old. Adoptive mothers and fathers were observed during play tasks when their infants were 9 months old. We found that adoptive mothers’ and fathers’ appraisals of birth mothers’ health were associated with perinatal risk and poor birth mother health. Adoptive mothers’ appraisals were linked to hostile parenting, after accounting for characteristics of the child that may influence her appraisals and attributions. These associations were not present for adoptive fathers. Genetic attributions were associated with both adoptive mother and fathers’ feelings of daily hassles in parenting. These findings have implications for prevention and intervention.
