攻击性是一种跨诊断的风险指标，也是儿童被转诊接受心理健康治疗的最常见原因之一。理论和研究强调了母亲的残疾对儿童攻击性的影响，并表明其影响可能因儿童生理反应的差异而异。此外，这些危险因素之间的相互作用在母亲情绪调节（ER）困难的孩子中可能尤其明显。目前的研究考察了母亲的残疾和儿童对挫折的生理反应对高危学龄前儿童样本中教师报告的攻击行为的独立和交互影响。参与者包括 77 名母亲（Mage = 33.17 岁，s.d. = 4.83；35% 少数族裔/族裔）及其孩子（Mage = 42.48 个月；s.d. = 3.78；56% 女性；47% 少数族裔/族裔）。有或没有临床医生评定的 ER 困难的母亲组报告了母亲的无效情况，并且在挫折任务期间持续评估儿童呼吸性窦性心律失常（RSA），作为生理反应的指标。教师或日托服务提供者报告了儿童的攻击行为。结果表明，母亲 ER 困难与母亲残疾和儿童 RSA 对挫折的反应之间存在正相关。正如预期的那样，母亲的失效和儿童 RSA 反应性之间的相互作用是显着的，因此较高的母亲失效和较高的儿童 RSA 对挫折的反应性预示着日托或学前班环境中会有更多的攻击性。重要的是，在控制人口统计协变量和基线 RSA 的同时证明了这种效应。研究结果与素质-压力和风险的生物社会模型一致，并指出了预防和早期干预的多个目标。
Aggression is a transdiagnostic indicator of risk and represents one of the most common reasons children are referred for mental health treatment. Theory and research highlight the impact of maternal invalidation on child aggression and suggest that its influence may vary based on differences in child physiological reactivity. Moreover, the interaction between these risk factors may be particularly pronounced among children of mothers with emotion regulation (ER) difficulties. The current study examined the independent and interactive effects of maternal invalidation and child physiological reactivity to frustration on teacher-reported aggression in an at-risk sample of preschool children. Participants included 77 mothers (Mage = 33.17 years, s.d. = 4.83; 35% racial/ethnic minority) and their children (Mage = 42.48 months; s.d. = 3.78; 56% female; 47% racial/ethnic minority). Groups of mothers with and without clinician-rated ER difficulties reported on maternal invalidation, and child respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) was assessed continuously during a frustration task as an indicator of physiological reactivity. Teachers or daycare providers reported on child aggression. Results demonstrated positive associations between maternal ER difficulties and both maternal invalidation and child RSA reactivity to frustration. As expected, the interaction between maternal invalidation and child RSA reactivity was significant, such that higher maternal invalidation and greater child RSA reactivity to frustration predicted more aggression in a daycare or preschool setting. Importantly, this effect was demonstrated while controlling for demographic covariates and baseline RSA. Findings are in line with diathesis–stress and biosocial models of risk and point to multiple targets for prevention and early intervention.
