儿童的消极性格被认为是引起敌对父母反应的一个因素。这可能导致基因型/环境相关性(rCE),其中儿童的遗传特征影响他们所经历的养育。我们对292位母亲在5个月、18个月和30个月时对她们的双胞胎进行了自我报告的斗争反应行为的遗传分析。发现作为儿童表型分析的养育行为的遗传度是rGE相关性的证据。母亲行为的遗传力是适度的(5个月时为29%)。18个月时为0%,30个月时为25%),纵向分析表明,5个月和30个月时的遗传因素不相关。共同的环境因素,可能反映了母亲的特点,在三个年龄段的差异的主要来源,并通过时间高度相关。我们的结论是,儿童的遗传特征诱发母亲的负面反应在特定的时间,但不负责稳定的母亲的敌意从婴儿期到幼儿期。(C)2006爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Children's negative characteristics are thought to be a factor in evoking hostile parenting responses. This can result in genotype/environment correlations (rCE) in which children's heritable traits influence the parenting they experience. We did genetic analyses on 292 mothers' self-reported hostile-reactive behaviors toward each of their twins at 5, 18 and 30 months. Finding heritability for a parenting behavior analyzed as a child phenotype is evidence of rGE correlation. The heritability of maternal behavior was modest (29% at 5 months. 0% at 18 months, and 25% at 30 months) and longitudinal analyses indicated that genetic factors at 5 and 30 months were uncorrelated. Common environment factors, probably reflecting characteristics of the mothers, were the main source of variance at the three ages and were highly correlated through time. We concluded that children's heritable characteristics evoked maternal negative response at specific times, but were not responsible for the stability of maternal hostility from infancy to toddlerhood.
