通过对57名婴儿及其父母的重复观察和问卷调查，我们评估了较低的父母效能感和较高的父母负性情绪状态作为解释环境混乱对育儿不利影响的潜在中介。因子分析揭示了家庭中的噪音和拥挤混乱维度。在这两个混乱维度上得分越高，父母的回应性和刺激性越低。家庭混乱通常与父母的焦虑情绪评级无关，但父母报告说，随着家庭噪音水平的提高，他们的效能感会降低。然而，我们的数据并不支持育儿措施与疗效之间的预测联系。结果的整体模式表明，父母的情绪和效能似乎都没有调解家庭混乱和父母行为之间的关系。
Using repeated observational and questionnaire data from 57 infants and their parents, lower parental efficacy perceptions and higher parental negative mood states were evaluated as potential mediators to explain the adverse influence of environmental chaos on parenting. Factor analysis revealed noise- and crowding-chaos dimensions in the home. Higher scores on both chaos dimensions were related to less responsive and stimulating parenting. Home chaos was generally unrelated to parental ratings of distressed mood, but parents reported a lower sense of efficacy as noise level in home increased. However, our data did not support predicted links between measures of parenting and efficacy. The overall pattern of results indicates that neither parental mood nor efficacy appears to mediate relations between home chaos and parenting behavior.
