现有的研究已经研究了青少年群体中冷酷无情特征传播所涉及的遗传和环境风险，但还没有研究过父母和后代之间这些特征的代际相似性。本研究探讨了父母冷酷无情的特质和儿童冷酷无情的特质之间的关联是否由父母的养育行为介导，以及这种关联是否由家庭环境调节。参与者包括115对青少年（48%女性;平均年龄= 13.97）和他们的主要照顾者（87%女性;平均年龄= 42.54）。从青少年和父母那里收集了冷酷无情的特征，敌对的父母，和家庭混乱的措施。一个两组结构方程模型显示，敌对的父母作为一个中介过程中，父母和青少年之间的关联冷酷无情的特质，但只有在高家庭混乱的背景下。我们的研究结果表明，敌对的父母的做法是一个调解过程，可以解释代际相似的冷酷无情的特质。此外，家庭混乱可能会加剧敌对的父母对青少年的冷酷无情的特质的影响，导致冷酷无情的特质代际传递的脆弱性增加。
Extant research has examined both genetic and environmental risk involved in the transmission of callous-unemotional traits in youth populations, yet no study has examined the intergenerational similarity of these traits between parents and their offspring. The current study examined whether the association between parent callous-unemotional traits and child callous-unemotional traits was mediated by parenting behavior and whether this association was moderated by household environment. Participants included 115 dyads of adolescents (48% female; Mean age = 13.97) and their primary caregivers (87% female; Mean age = 42.54). Measures of callous-unemotional traits, hostile parenting, and household chaos were collected from both adolescents and parents. A two group structural equation modeling revealed that hostile parenting serves as a mediating process in the association between parent and adolescent callous-unemotional traits, but only in the context of high household chaos. Our findings suggest that hostile parenting practices are a mediating process that may explain intergenerational similarity in callous-unemotional traits. Additionally, household chaos may exacerbate the effects of hostile parenting on callous-unemotional traits within adolescents, resulting in heightened vulnerability to intergenerational transmission of callous-unemotional traits.
