本研究考察了幼儿早期到中期亲子互动的微观社会观察和宏观评级的有效性。招募了731个代表多个种族群体的家庭，并在妇女、婴儿和儿童（WIC）营养补充服务环境中筛选为高危家庭。家庭被随机分配到家庭检查（FCU）干预或控制条件下，在2岁，3岁，4岁和5岁的家庭结构化互动录像。亲子互动录像带使用关系影响编码系统（RACS）进行微编码，该系统捕获两种相互二元状态的持续时间：积极参与和胁迫。在对录像带编码后，收集了父母养育技能的宏观评级，以评估父母使用积极行为支持和限制设置技能（或缺乏）。验证性因素分析显示，限制设置和积极行为支持的宏观评级的测量模型不支持的数据，因此，被排除在进一步的分析。然而，在整个幼儿期，家庭的微观社会动力学具有适度的稳定性，并且作为随机分配到FCU的函数，它显示出显着的改善。此外，亲子动力学预测慢性行为问题的父母在童年中期，但不是情绪问题。最后，我们讨论的有效性的RACS和方法上的优势，微观社会编码的宏观评级观察的统计局限性。展望了预防科学中观测研究的发展方向。
This study examined the validity of micro social observations and macro ratings of parent–child interaction in early to middle childhood. Seven hundred and thirty-one families representing multiple ethnic groups were recruited and screened as at risk in the context of Women, Infant, and Children (WIC) Nutritional Supplement service settings. Families were randomly assigned to the Family Checkup (FCU) intervention or the control condition at age 2 and videotaped in structured interactions in the home at ages 2, 3, 4, and 5. Parent–child interaction videotapes were microcoded using the Relationship Affect Coding System (RACS) that captures the duration of two mutual dyadic states: positive engagement and coercion. Macro ratings of parenting skills were collected after coding the videotapes to assess parent use of positive behavior support and limit setting skills (or lack thereof). Confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the measurement model of macro ratings of limit setting and positive behavior support was not supported by the data, and thus, were excluded from further analyses. However, there was moderate stability in the families’ micro social dynamics across early childhood and it showed significant improvements as a function of random assignment to the FCU. Moreover, parent–child dynamics were predictive of chronic behavior problems as rated by parents in middle childhood, but not emotional problems. We conclude with a discussion of the validity of the RACS and on methodological advantages of micro social coding over the statistical limitations of macro rating observations. Future directions are discussed for observation research in prevention science.
