本研究使用5岁儿童及其母亲的纵向档案数据，探讨26年后与动机不一致相关的母亲和儿童特征。动机不一致是根据对成就、权力和隶属关系的需求的内隐和外显测量之间的差异来评估的。先前的研究表明，特质自决，包括自我意识和行为中的感知意志，调节了内隐/外显动机不一致的水平。我们假设，早期儿童经历干扰发展的自决将与后来的动机不一致。我们的研究结果表明，儿童时期的因素反映了母子在自主性和相关性方面的困难，这与成人的动机不一致水平显著相关。具体来说，成人动机不一致与母亲对孩子的依赖冲动和性冲动的强烈抑制、孩子两岁时母亲的分离以及母亲报告的感觉被孩子支配有显著的关系。讨论了数据的局限性。
The present study used archival longitudinal data from 5 years old children and their mothers to explore mother and child characteristics associated with motive incongruence 26 years later. Motive incongruence was assessed in terms of discrepancies between implicit and explicit measures of the need for achievement, power and affiliation. Previous research has suggested that trait self-determination, which involves self-awareness and perceived volition in one’s actions, moderates the level of implicit/explicit motive incongruence. We hypothesized that early childhood experiences that interfere with the development of self-determination would be associated with later motive incongruence. Our results showed that childhood factors that reflected mother–child difficulties in the areas of autonomy and relatedness were significantly related to adult levels of motive incongruence. Specifically, adult motive incongruence was significantly associated with strong maternal inhibition of the child’s dependent and sexual impulses, maternal separation during the child’s second year, and mother reports of feeling dominated by the child. Limitations of the data are discussed.
