This proposal is for a competing continuation of the Providence Family Study (PFS) to complete the first waves of longitudinal assessment on offspring of mothers who have been treated for affective and anxiety disorders. These children were originally recruited when they were 1 year or 2-1/2 years of age and followed every 1-1/2 years until they were 4 years of age. All children will have an assessment at 4 years of age by the end of the proposed project period. The orientation of this project is developmental, contextual, and transactional. The developmental approach is directed at delineating pathways by which perturbations in infant behavior are maintained or transformed as the child moves into early childhood and school age. The contextual approach is directed at identifying factors in the child's experience of the social environment that exacerbate or ameliorate atypical patterns of behavior. The transactional approach is directed at identifying patterns across time in which changes in child behavior may reciprocally affect parental, marital, or family functioning. The aims of this project are (1) to complete the longitudinal assessment of the interrelations among child competence and mental health, family functioning, and social risk and protective factors during infancy and early childhood; (2) to perform a hierarchical analysis of environmental risk and protective factors at levels more or less proximal to the child to determine the relative contributions to mental health of variables at the parent, family, and social context levels; (3) to perform longitudinal analyses of the processes by which specific environmental risks interact with specific child factors to increase or decrease the quantity of behavioral problems from infancy to school age; and (4) to maintain contact with study families after children reach 4 years of age and to continue low-cost assessments of maternal course of illness and child behavior problems, which will facilitate potential follow-up assessments of the study children during the school years. Hypotheses examined are (1) risk from parents with psychopathology will affect the child, reducing levels of developmental competence in the domains of mental health (general social-emotional adjustment), social interaction with family, and individual competence; (2) risk from family dysfunction and discord will be associated with lower levels of child competence; (3) risk from multiple contextual factors will add additional variance in the explanation of child outcomes; and (4) protection from certain child and family characteristics will moderate the effects of risk in these children.

该提案是为了普罗维登斯家族的竞争延续 研究（PFS）完成第一波纵向评估 接受过情感和焦虑治疗的母亲的后代 失调。 这些孩子最初是在一岁时被招募的 或 2-1/2 岁，每 1-1/2 年随访一次，直至 4 岁 岁数。 所有儿童将在 4 岁时接受评估 拟议项目期结束。 本项目定位 是发展性的、情境性的和事务性的。 发展性的 方法旨在描绘扰动的路径 当孩子进入婴儿期时，婴儿的行为得到维持或改变 幼儿期和学龄期。 上下文方法针对的是 识别影响儿童社会环境体验的因素 加剧或改善非典型行为模式。 这 事务性方法旨在识别跨时间的模式 儿童行为的哪些变化可能会相互影响父母、婚姻、 或家庭功能。 该项目的目标是 (1) 完成 儿童能力与儿童能力之间相互关系的纵向评估 心理健康、家庭功能、社会风险和保护因素 婴儿期和幼儿期； (2) 进行层次分析 或多或少的环境风险和保护因素 最接近儿童以确定对心理的相对贡献 父母、家庭和社会环境层面变量的健康状况； (3) 对特定过程进行纵向分析 环境风险与特定的儿童因素相互作用，以增加或 减少从婴儿期到学龄期的行为问题数量； (4) 在孩子年满 4 岁后与研究家庭保持联系 岁并继续对孕产妇病程进行低成本评估 疾病和儿童行为问题，这将有利于潜在的 对研究儿童在学年期间进行跟踪评估。 检验的假设是 (1) 患有精神病理学的父母将带来的风险 影响孩子，降低孩子的发育能力水平 心理健康领域（一般社会情绪调整）、社会 与家人的互动以及个人能力； (2)来自家庭的风险 功能障碍和不和谐将与儿童水平较低有关 权限; (3) 多种背景因素带来的风险将增加额外的风险 对儿童结局的解释存在差异； (4) 保护 某些儿童和家庭特征会减轻风险的影响 在这些孩子身上。
