抑郁和焦虑问题在为人父母的早期是很常见的，并对父母的教育质量产生不利影响。沉思与糟糕的幸福感密切相关，这表明自我关注可能是幸福感和照顾之间联系的一个中介[例如]。在一项针对首次父母的国际研究框架内，目前的研究包括396名英国父母(在198对4个月大的异性恋同居夫妻关系中)。父母报告了他们在夫妻关系中的抑郁、焦虑和满意的症状。五分钟的语音样本被转录和编码，以供父母使用代词(即“我”和婴儿或伴侣都使用的“我们”)，而静脸范式中的观察被编码为父母对婴儿暗示的敏感度。我们的第一个目标是测试新父母的自我关注是否与幸福和夫妻关系质量有关。我们还考察了(I)自我关注是否在幸福感和照顾者敏感性之间的预期关联中起中介作用，以及(Ii)夫妻关系质量是否调节了自我关注和照顾者敏感性之间的预期关联。最后，我们比较了母亲和父亲的结果。我们的结果说明了性别之间的联系。首先，尽管母亲和父亲的自我关注和包括伴侣的谈话的平均水平相似，但母亲在包括婴儿的情况下使用“我们”代词的比例高于父亲。其次，自我关注与母亲或父亲的幸福无关，但与父亲报告的夫妻关系质量下降有关。此外，较差的围产期健康状况与父亲减少对伴侣的包容谈话有关，但与母亲对婴儿包容谈话的使用减少有关。第三，调解模型表明，减少对婴儿的包容谈话是母亲幸福感下降与敏感度降低之间的联系的基础，而不是父亲的联系。第四，在良好的夫妻关系质量的背景下，母亲对伴侣包容程度的提高与照顾敏感性的降低有关。讨论了这些发现对支持新母亲和新父亲的干预措施的影响，这些新母亲和父亲可能受益于促进对其发育中婴儿的关注的不同战略。
Problems of depression and anxiety are common in early parenthood and adversely affect parenting quality. Rumination is closely linked to poor wellbeing, suggesting that self-focus may be one mediator of the association between wellbeing and caregiving [e.g., ]. Framed within an international study of first-time mothers and fathers, the current study included 396 British mothers and fathers (in 198 heterosexual cohabiting couple relationships) of first-born 4-month-old infants. Parents reported on their symptoms of depression, anxiety and satisfaction in their couple relationship. Five-minute speech samples were transcribed and coded for parents' pronoun use (i.e., “I” and either infant- or partner-inclusive use of “We”), whilst observations in the Still-Face paradigm were coded for parental sensitivity to infants' cues. Our first goal was to test whether new parents' self-focus was associated with wellbeing and couple relationship quality. We also examined whether (i) self-focus mediated the expected association between wellbeing and caregiving sensitivity and (ii) couple relationship quality moderated the expected association between self-focus and caregiver sensitivity. Finally, we compared results for mothers and fathers. Our results illustrate gender-specific associations. First, although mean levels of self-focus and partner-inclusive talk were similar for mothers and fathers, infant-inclusive use of the “we” pronoun was higher in mothers than fathers. Second, self-focus was unrelated to either mothers' or fathers' wellbeing, but was associated with fathers' report of reduced couple relationship quality. In addition, poor perinatal wellbeing was associated with reduced partner-inclusive talk for fathers, but with reduced use of infant-inclusive talk for mothers. Third, mediation models suggest that reduced infant-inclusive talk underpins the association between poor wellbeing and reduced sensitivity in mothers, but not fathers. Fourth, in the context of good couple relationship quality, mothers' elevated partner-inclusive talk was associated with reduced caregiving sensitivity. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for interventions to support new mothers and fathers, who may benefit from distinct strategies to foster attention to their developing infant.
