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.

这项提议是为了与普罗维登斯家族竞争延续 研究(PFS)完成第一波纵向评估 因情感和焦虑而接受治疗的母亲的后代 精神错乱。这些孩子最初是在一岁时被招募的 或两岁半，每一年半跟踪一次，直到他们四岁 几年前。所有儿童在4岁时都将接受评估 拟议项目期结束。这个项目的定位 具有发展性、情境性和交易性。发展中的 方法的目标是描绘扰动在其中的路径 婴儿的行为随着孩子的进入而保持或改变 幼儿和学龄儿童。上下文方法针对的是 确定儿童对社会环境的体验的因素 这会加剧或改善非典型行为模式。这个 事务性方法旨在跨时间识别 儿童行为的哪些变化可能会反过来影响父母、婚姻、 或家庭功能。这项计划的目标是(1)完成 对儿童能力和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)进行层级分析 或多或少的环境风险和保护因素 以确定儿童近端对智力的相对贡献 父母、家庭和社会背景层面的变量的健康状况； 对流程进行纵向分析，具体通过哪些流程 环境风险与特定的儿童因素相互作用，从而增加或 减少从婴儿期到学龄期行为问题的数量； (4)在孩子年满4岁后与学习家庭保持联系 并继续对产妇的病程进行低成本评估 疾病和儿童行为问题，这将促进潜在的 对被研究儿童在上学期间的跟踪评估。 研究的假设是(1)父母有精神病态意愿的风险 影响儿童，降低儿童的发展能力水平 心理健康领域(一般社会--情绪调节)，社会 与家庭的互动和个人能力；(2)来自家庭的风险 功能障碍和不和谐将与较低水平的儿童相关 能力；(3)来自多个背景因素的风险将增加额外的 对儿童结果的解释存在差异；和(4)保护儿童免受 某些儿童和家庭特征将缓解风险的影响 在这些孩子身上。
