尽管人们对养育压力对儿童和家庭的影响越来越感兴趣，但关于养育压力的本质以及压力随时间推移产生影响的机制，仍存在许多问题。在这项研究中，对125名正常发育的儿童及其母亲在学前阶段的累积养育压力进行了评估。养育压力的指标包括从3岁到5岁每年评估的重大生活事件压力，以及在同一时期每6个月评估一次的日常养育困扰。在儿童5岁时进行了自然主义的家庭观察，在此期间获得了父母与儿童互动行为以及亲子愉悦和亲子冲突的测量数据。母亲们还完成了儿童行为检查表（CBCL）以评估儿童的行为问题。结果表明，在学前阶段，日常养育困扰和重大生活压力相对稳定。这两种累积压力指标也都被证明是父母与儿童行为以及亲子互动的重要预测因素，尽管预测结果略有差异。尽管压力因素与儿童健康之间存在有意义的关系，但没有证据支持父母行为在养育压力和儿童结果之间起中介作用这一前提。在发展框架内对结果进行了讨论，以了解累积压力与早期亲子关系的稳定性和复杂性。版权所有（c）2005约翰威立父子有限公司
Despite increasing interest in the effects of parenting stress on children and families, many questions remain regarding the nature of parenting stress and the mechanism through which stress exerts its influence across time. In this study, cumulative parenting stress was assessed across the preschool period in a sample of 125 typically developing children and their mothers. Indices of parenting stress included both major life events stress-assessed annually from age 3 to 5, and parenting daily hassles assessed every 6 months across the same period. Naturalistic home observations were conducted when children were age 5, during which measures of parent and child interactive behaviour as well as dyadic pleasure and dyadic conflict were obtained. Mothers also completed the CBCL to assess children's behaviour problems. Results indicated that parenting daily hassles and major life stress are relatively stable across the preschool period. Both cumulative stress indices. also proved to be important predictors of parent and child behaviour and dyadic interaction, although the predictions were somewhat differential. Despite meaningful relations between the stress factors and child well being, no evidence was found to support the premise that parent behaviour mediates the association between parenting stress and child outcomes. Results are discussed within a developmental framework to understand the stability and complexity of cumulative stress associations to early parent-child relationships.
