目的：很少有气质研究测试了儿童行为问题的拟合优度理论。在本研究中，我们检验了这样的假设：在单独控制这些维度的影响后，儿童和父母气质维度之间的相互作用可以预测儿童精神病理学水平。方法：使用青少年气质和性格调查表以及阿亨巴赫经验系统的多个受访者的综合分数，对总共 175 名儿童（97 名男孩，78 名女孩；平均年龄，10.99 岁；标准差，3.66 岁）进行了气质和精神病理学评估。基础评估。使用成人版本的气质和性格调查表来评估父母的气质。统计分析包括多元回归程序，以在控制人口变量、其他类型的儿童精神病理学、个人气质和性格调查表以及青少年气质和性格调查表维度后评估儿童与父母气质相互作用的贡献。结果：儿童和父母气质维度之间的相互作用预测比这些维度单独影响更高水平的外化、内化和注意力问题。其中，儿童的高新奇性寻求与母亲的高新奇性相结合与儿童注意力问题相关，而高儿童伤害避免和高父亲伤害避免相结合与儿童内化问题增加相关。许多儿童气质维度也独立地产生显着影响。结论：儿童气质特征与精神病理学之间的关联可能取决于父母的气质。这些数据支持了先前有关拟合优度重要性的理论。 (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
Objective: Few studies of temperament have tested goodness-of-fit theories of child behavior problems. In this study, we test the hypothesis that interactions between child and parent temperament dimensions predict levels of child psychopathology after controlling for the effects of these dimensions individually.Methods: Temperament and psychopathology were assessed in a total of 175 children (97 boys, 78 girls; mean age, 10.99 years; SD, 3.66 years) using composite scores from multiple informants of the Junior Temperament and Character Inventory and the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment. Parent temperament was assessed using the adult version of the Temperament and Character Inventory. Statistical analyses included multiple regression procedures to assess the contribution of child-parent temperament interactions after controlling for demographic variables, other types of child psychopathology, and the individual Temperament and Character Inventory and Junior Temperament and Character Inventory dimensions.Results: Interactions between child and parent temperament dimensions predicted higher levels of extemalizing, internalizing, and attention problems over and above the effects of these dimensions alone. Among others, the combination of high child novelty seeking with high maternal novelty was associated with child attention problems, whereas the combination of high child harm avoidance and high father harm avoidance was associated with increased child internalizing problems. Many child temperament dimensions also exerted significant effects independently.Conclusions: The association between a child temperament trait and psychopathology can be dependent upon the temperament of parents. These data lend support to previous theories of the importance of goodness-of-fit. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
