本研究调查了三个问题：(A)假定的婴儿和母亲的调节行为对婴儿在6个月时对新奇事物的痛苦的调节效应，(B)婴儿调节效果在不同背景下的稳定性，以及(C)婴儿和母亲调节行为之间的联系和时间动态。参与者是87名低风险婴儿及其母亲，他们在产后6个月时观察婴儿接触新玩具的情况。顺序分析得出的偶然性结果表明，在6个月大的时候，一些婴儿通过将目光从新奇的玩具或自我安慰中移开来减少自己的痛苦，母亲的参与和支持具有类似的效果，某些婴儿和母亲的行为同时发生。此外，当母亲将目光从新玩具上移开时，母亲偶尔参与的婴儿比母亲没有这样做的可比婴儿表现出更少的悲伤。这些发现表明，婴儿和母亲都参与了婴儿一岁时情绪调节的发展。
Three issues were investigated: (a) the regulatory effects of presumed infant and maternal regulation behaviors on infant distress to novelty at 6 months, (b) stability of infant regulatory effects across contexts that vary in maternal involvement, and (c) associations and temporal dynamics between infant and maternal regulation behaviors. Participants were 87 low-risk infants and their mothers, observed at 6 months postpartum during infant exposure to novel toys. Contingencies derived from sequential analyses demonstrate that, by 6 months, some infants reduce their own distress to novelty by looking away from the novel toy or self-soothing, maternal engagement and support have comparable effects, and certain infant and maternal behaviors co-occur. Moreover, infants whose mothers engaged contingently when they looked away from the novel toy expressed less distress than comparable infants whose mothers did not. These findings implicate both infants and mothers in the development of emotion regulation during the infant's first year.
