先前的研究表明，具有精神病特征的儿童可能对父母的反应较低。虽然严厉/不一致的父母与心理变态特征低的儿童的问题行为增加有关，但心理变态特征高的儿童无论父母是否消极，问题行为都持续高水平。儿童精神病特征对父母教养积极维度的调节作用尚未被探索。METHODWE应用多水平回归模型来测试儿童精神病特征与父母积极和消极影响之间的相互作用，对反应性和主动性攻击的个体差异，在一个基于社区的样本中，158名9 ~ 10岁儿童的心理病态特征与父母的积极和消极情感及两种形式的攻击行为之间存在显著相关。儿童精神病态特质也调节了父母积极和消极的影响。儿童低的精神病特征表现出积极的父母的影响增加减少反应性攻击，并增加水平的反应性攻击作为消极的父母的影响增加，但儿童高的精神病特征表现出更稳定的水平的反应性攻击，无论父母的影响水平。积极主动的侵略更强烈地与消极的父母影响儿童与更高水平的精神病traits.CONCLUSIONSIn一个社区样本的青春期前儿童，儿童精神病的特质被证明是温和的父母的影响对侵略。高心理变态特征的儿童的反应性攻击似乎对积极或消极的父母教养方式的变化反应较小。相比之下，儿童心理变态特征可能会加剧父母对主动攻击性的高度负面影响。
OBJECTIVEPrevious studies show that children with psychopathic traits may be less responsive to parenting. Although harsh/inconsistent parenting is associated with increased problem behaviors in children low on psychopathic traits, children high on psychopathic traits show consistently high levels of problem behavior regardless of negative parenting. Moderating effects of child psychopathic traits on positive dimensions of parenting have not been explored.METHODWe applied multi-level regression models to test for interactions between child psychopathic traits and both positive and negative parental affect on individual differences in both reactive and proactive aggression, in a community-based sample of 1,158 children aged 9 through 10 years of age.RESULTSThere were significant associations between child psychopathic traits and positive and negative parental affect with both forms of aggression. Child psychopathic traits also moderated effects of positive and negative parental affect. Children low on psychopathic traits showed decreasing reactive aggression as positive parental affect increased, and increasing levels of reactive aggression as negative parental affect increased, but children high on psychopathic traits showed more stable levels of reactive aggression regardless of levels of parental affect. Proactive aggression was more strongly associated with negative parental affect among children with higher levels of psychopathic traits.CONCLUSIONSIn a community sample of preadolescent children, child psychopathic traits were shown to moderate the effects of parental affect on aggression. Reactive aggression in children high on psychopathic traits appears less responsive to variations in either positive or negative parenting. In contrast, child psychopathic traits may exacerbate the effects of high levels of negative parental effect on proactive aggression.
