在婴儿发育的第一年，我们评估了群体生活的日本猕猴的母性风格和婴儿行为之间的关系。我们检验了这一假设，即不同的育儿方式与三个不同发育阶段的婴儿的行为指标有关。我们预计，拒绝母亲的婴儿会表现出更高的进取心，而保护性母亲的婴儿会对外部环境不那么感兴趣。我们发现有证据表明，母亲的风格在早期发育阶段会影响婴儿的行为，但随着婴儿年龄的增长和接近完全独立，这种影响会变得越来越小。母亲的保护性似乎对婴儿的探索有长期的影响，因为受保护母亲的婴儿往往不太受外部环境的吸引。另一方面，母亲的排斥似乎对婴儿与其他群体成员的互动产生了长期的影响，因为更多被拒绝的婴儿往往会开始与其他青少年和成年人进行明显更多的接触。这些结果表明，母体排斥和母体保护在后代的独立性中起着重要的作用，但方向相反。也就是说，拒绝会促进独立，而保护性会推迟独立。(C)2002年威利期刊公司。
We assessed the association of maternal style and infant behavior of group-living Japanese macaques during the first year of infant development. We tested the hypothesis that different mothering styles were correlated with the behavioral repertoire of infants at three different developmental stages. We expected that infants of rejecting mothers would show a higher level of enterprise and that infants of protective mothers would be less interested in the external environment. We found evidence that maternal style affects infant behavior during the early developmental phase, but this influence becomes smaller as the infant grows older and approaches complete independence. Maternal protectiveness appears to have long-lasting effects on infant exploration as infants of protective mothers tended to be less attracted by the external environment. On the other hand, maternal rejection appears to have long-lasting effects on infant interaction with other group members as more rejected infants tended to initiate a significantly higher number of contacts with other juveniles and adults. These results suggest that both maternal rejection and maternal protectiveness play an important role in the independence of the offspring, in opposite directions. That is, rejection promotes independence whereas protectiveness delays it. (C) 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
