目前的研究探讨了父母表达的情绪之间的纵向关系，这是各种其他疾病（例如，精神分裂症）与外化行为，在84名儿童，年龄8-18岁（在时间2），自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）。结果发现，父母表达的情绪，特别是批评/敌意在时间1，显着相关的变化外化行为从时间1到时间2，即使在控制时间1家庭收入，ASD症状的严重程度，父母的痛苦，和父母的做法。也就是说，在时间1父母的批评/敌意水平越高，预测在时间2的儿童外化行为水平越高。然而，没有发现相反的情况，这种单向关系的发现具有重要的临床意义。
The current study explored the longitudinal relation between parental expressed emotion, a well-established predictor of symptom relapse in various other disorders (e.g., schizophrenia) with externalizing behaviors in 84 children, ages 8-18 (at Time 2), with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It was found that parental expressed emotion, specifically criticism/hostility at Time 1, significantly related to a change in externalizing behaviors from Time 1 to Time 2, even after controlling for Time 1 family income, ASD symptom severity, parental distress, and parenting practices. That is, higher levels of parental criticism/hostility at Time 1 predicted higher levels of child externalizing behaviors at Time 2. However, the reverse was not found. This finding of a unidirectional relation has important clinical implications.
