OSAKA INFANT AND FAMILY DEVELOPMENT

这项纵向研究考察了在Ainswgrth奇异情境下母亲的情绪与婴儿行为的关系。我们推测，母亲的情绪表达方式可能会持续影响婴儿的行为。研究人员询问了母亲对婴儿的七种不同情绪的表达方式。母亲的情绪表达方式被计算，并用Varimax方法进行因素分析。根据因素负荷将母亲分为4组：既表达消极情绪又表达积极情绪的母亲(N+P+，N=39)，同时压抑消极情绪和积极情绪的母亲(N-P-，N=35)，压抑消极情绪并表达积极情绪的母亲(N-P+，N=31)，表达消极情绪并抑制积极情绪的母亲(N+P-，N=24)。分别在13个月龄和18个月龄进行两次观察。在第5集中，母亲为N+P+的婴儿比13个月大的婴儿表现出更多的情绪稳定性。相反，与第6集中陌生人的即刻干预相比，18个月大的婴儿比13个月大的婴儿更需要立即干预。有N-P-和N-P+母亲的婴儿也有同样的趋势。只有有N+P母亲的婴儿在13个月和18个月大的婴儿之间没有表现出任何显著的差异。

This longitudinal study investigated the relation between mother's mood and infant's behavior in the Ainswgrth Strange Situation. We hypothesized that the mother's emotional expression styles may be an ongoing influence on infant behavior. Mothers were questioned on their styles of expression towards their infants for seven different emotions. The mother's styles of emotional expression was computed and factor analyzed by the Varimax method. According to factor loading, mothers were divided into four groups: those expressing both negative and positive emotions (N+P+, N=39), those suppressing both negative and positive emotions (N-P-, N=35), those suppressing negative emotions and expressing positive emotions (N-P+, N=31), and those expressing negative emotions and suppressing positive emotions (N+P-, N=24). The observation was done twice time on the thirteen month-old and eighteen month-old. The infants whose mothers were N+P+ showed more emotional stability than the 13 month-old in episode 5. On the contrary, when compared with immediate intervention by the stranger in episode 6, 18 month old infants need more immediate intervention than 13 month old infants. The same tendency were found for the infants having N-P- and N-P+ mothers. Only infants who have N+P- mother did not show any significant differences between their age of 13 month olds and 18 month olds.
