酒精经常被用于情绪调节目的，但关于情绪调节饮酒动机与养育子女的关系的研究很少。本研究通过调查父母饮酒和饮酒动机之间的可能交互作用来解决这一差距，以预测父母在解决问题的互动中的养育方式和孩子的情感。参与者包括199个双亲家庭，孩子在6岁到12岁之间。母亲和父亲自我报告了他们喝酒和喝酒的动机，每个父母分别参加了一个5分钟的亲子问题讨论，讨论的话题被父母认为是经常发生冲突的来源。这些讨论后来被编码为父母的拒绝和胁迫以及孩子的积极和消极的情感。父亲养育动机与父亲严厉的教养方式独立相关，与较低的儿童积极情感和较大的儿童消极情感间接相关。在父子互动过程中，母亲饮酒调节正负情绪与母亲严厉教养、父亲严厉教养、子女积极消极情绪之间存在交互作用。尽管这些交互作用的模式不同，但母亲酗酒和应对或增强动机的组合往往具有更高的严苛父母教养方式、孩子积极情绪和孩子负面情绪。这些发现表明，父母饮酒的情绪调节动机值得研究人员更多地关注，以了解父母饮酒对父母养育和孩子情绪发展的影响。
Alcohol is often used for emotion-regulation purposes, yet there has been little research on how emotion-regulation drinking motives relate to parenting. The present study addresses this gap by investigating possible interactions between parent drinking and drinking motives in the prediction of parenting and child affectivity during a problem-solving interaction. Participants included 199 two-parent families with a child between the ages of 6 and 12 years. Mothers and fathers self-reported their drinking and drinking motivations, and each parent separately took part in a 5-min parent–child problem-solving discussion about a topic that the parent identified as a frequent source of conflict. These discussions were later coded for parent rejection and coercion and child positive and negative affectivity. Father enhancement motives were independently related to father harsh parenting and indirectly related to lower child positive affect and greater child negative affect. Mother drinking to regulate positive and negative emotions interacted with mother drinking in association with mother harsh parenting, father harsh parenting, and child positive and negative affect during father–child interactions. Although the pattern of these interactions differed, the combination of mother greater drinking and coping or enhancement motives tended to have higher harsh parenting, child positive affect, and child negative affect. These findings indicate that parents’ emotion-regulation motives for drinking warrant greater attention from researchers to understand the impact of parent drinking on parenting and emotional development of children.
