ANTISOCIAL CHILDREN--MARITAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESSES

本研究计划的目的是考察两者之间的关系 婚姻互动模式与行为相关行为之间的关系 学龄前行为问题儿童。调停者之间的联系 婚姻敌意、反社会行为和不良的同伴关系也是 所寻求的，包括(1)社会认知缺陷和偏见的作用， (2)心理生理过程。对婚姻和婚姻的观察 亲子互动、同伴互动与儿童对 成人之间的敌意和对挑衅性同伴的情况将是 指挥。自主神经测量(心脏搏动间期、T波 幅度、耳和手指脉冲通过时间、手指脉冲幅度 皮肤电导水平、迷走神经张力和总运动活动)同步 到实时的行为观察将从孩子那里获得 在暴露于成人间冲突、同伴挑衅和 需要集中注意力的任务。婚姻敌意对社会的影响 信息处理、同伴关系和反社会行为将 检查过了。还将测试行为问题的生理模型 在人际威胁的条件下，在宽松的条件下，在 需要集中注意力的任务。将测试两个理论模型，其中 婚姻敌意与交感和副交感神经系统 对人际威胁和社会认知偏差的反应 缺陷与反社会行为和消极同伴有关 互动。

The purpose of this research program is to examine the relationship between marital interaction patterns and conduct-related behaviors in preschool-aged conduct-problem children. Mediators of the link between marital hostility, antisocial behavior and poor peer relations are also sought, including (1) the role of social cognitive deficits and biases, and (2) psychophysiological processes. Observations of marital and parent-child interaction, peer interaction and children's reactions to interadult hostility and to a provocative peer situation will be conducted. Autonomic measures (cardiac interbeat interval, T-wave amplitude, ear and finger pulse transit time, finger pulse amplitude, skin conductance level, vagal tone & gross motor activity) synchronized to real-time behavioral observations will be obtained from the child during exposure to interadult conflict, peer provocation, and an attention-demanding task. The effects of marital hostility on social information processing, peer relations and antisocial behavior will be examined. Physiological models of conduct-problems will also be tested under conditions of interpersonal threat, relaxed conditions, and in an attention-demanding task. Two theoretical models will be tested in which marital hostility, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system reactivity to interpersonal threat and social cognitive biases and deficits are related to antisocial behavior and negative peer interaction.
