这项研究探讨了与后代调整相关的与母亲儿童期虐待相关的心理社会风险代际传递的基础。该研究测试了随着时间的推移，个体调整变化的群体差异在多大程度上可以通过暴露于特定环境风险经历的差异来解释。数据来自雅芳家长和儿童纵向研究。 5,619 个家庭可以获得有关母亲自身童年虐待经历、子女 4 岁和 7 岁适应情况以及假设调解者的信息。残差分数分析用于跟踪儿童随时间的调整情况。母亲儿童期虐待与 4 至 7 岁之间较差的行为轨迹有关。受虐待母亲的孩子在 4 岁至 7 岁之间更有可能经历一系列负面的生活事件，包括家庭成员的变化、与父母的分离、“震惊和恐惧”以及身体攻击。中期生活事件以及先前的心理社会风险（母亲产前情感症状、4 岁时父母的敌意、4 岁时家庭类型）完全介导了母亲童年虐待与后代预后之间的关联。
This study addressed the basis for the intergenerational transmission of psychosocial risk associated with maternal childhood abuse in relation to offspring adjustment. The study tested how far group differences in individual change in adjustment over time were explained by differences in exposure to specific environmental risk experiences. Data are drawn from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. Information on mothers' own experience of childhood abuse, offspring adjustment at ages 4 and 7 years, and hypothesized mediators was available for 5,619 families. A residuals scores analysis was used to track children's adjustment over time. Maternal childhood abuse was associated with poorer behavioral trajectories between ages 4 and 7 years. Children of abused mothers were more likely to experience a range of negative life events between ages 4 and 7 years, including changes in family composition, separations from parents, "shocks and frights" and physical assaults. Interim life events, together with antecedent psychosocial risk (maternal antenatal affective symptoms, age 4 parental hostility, age 4 family type) fully mediated the association between maternal childhood abuse and offspring prognosis.
