DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The attainment of adequate self-regulation represents a critical developmental milestone that has significant implications for children's social-emotional wellbeing. Prior work has noted the importance of parenting for children's early developing self-regulatory skills, particularly at times in life, such as infancy and early toddlerhood, when children rely heavily on parental support in the regulation of emotion and behavior. Although preliminary evidence suggests that parental self-regulation is important for parenting, most studies have not focused on parenting in early childhood and have not linked parental self-regulation to children's self-regulation through parenting. The aim of the current proposal is to evaluate the effects of multiple aspects of maternal self-regulation (e.g., emotion regulation, effortful control, executive functions, and physiological regulation [heart rate variability]) on parenting of infants and on the emergence of infant self-regulation directly and through parenting. Using a diverse sample (n = 200) of typically developing infants and maternal caregivers recruited from one urban and one rural site, the current proposal evaluates parenting under two conditions. First, the implications of maternal self-regulation for parenting infants in the context of high infant distress is examined using a novel parenting simulation task wherein maternal caregivers interact with a highly distressed, life-like infant simulator. Next, the mother's interactions with her own infant will be evaluated in the context of free play and after a mild infant stressor. Finally, infant self-regulation of emotion during a frustrating task will be examined. It is anticipated that maternal caregivers who have better self-regulation will engage in more adaptive, sensitive parenting behavior during the simulation task as well as with their own infant during play and after a mild stressor. Furthermore, it is expected that parenting will mediate the effects of maternal self-regulation on infant self-regulation. The current study has implications for early developing self-regulatory skills, developmental psychopathology, models of parenting, as well as for parent-infant intervention programs.

描述（由申请人提供）： 实现充分的自我调节是一个重要的发展里程碑，对儿童的社交情感健康具有重大影响。先前的研究已经指出，养育对儿童早期发展自我调节技能的重要性，特别是在生命中的某些时期，例如婴儿期和幼儿期，此时儿童在情绪和行为调节方面严重依赖父母的支持。尽管初步证据表明父母的自我调节对于养育子女很重要，但大多数研究并没有关注幼儿时期的养育，也没有将父母的自我调节与孩子通过养育方式进行的自我调节联系起来。当前提案的目的是评估母亲自我调节的多个方面（例如情绪调节、努力控制、执行功能和生理调节[心率变异性]）对婴儿养育的影响，以及对婴儿直接和通过养育的自我调节的出现的影响。当前的提案使用从一个城市和一个农村地点招募的典型发育婴儿和孕产妇护理人员的不同样本（n = 200），评估两种条件下的育儿方式。首先，使用一种新颖的育儿模拟任务来检查在婴儿高度痛苦的情况下母亲自我调节对养育婴儿的影响，其中母亲照顾者与高度痛苦的、栩栩如生的婴儿模拟器进行互动。接下来，母亲与自己的婴儿的互动将在自由玩耍的背景下和在轻微的婴儿压力之后进行评估。最后，将检查婴儿在执行令人沮丧的任务时情绪的自我调节。预计具有更好自我调节能力的母亲照顾者将在模拟任务期间以及在玩耍期间和在轻微压力之后与自己的婴儿一起采取更具适应性、更敏感的养育行为。此外，预计养育方式将调节母亲自我调节对婴儿自我调节的影响。目前的研究对早期发展自我调节技能、发展精神病理学、养育模式以及亲子干预计划具有影响。
