ACROSS GENERATIONS--FAMILY LIFE AND MENTAL HEALTH

在这个项目中，我们建议收集一个新的纵向面板 检查先前观察到的青少年和 一代人的家庭维度对成人发展、育儿 15到20年后的新一代的行为和孩子的结果。我们 对146名前青少年精神病患者进行了抽样调查 非患者与他们的家人在 14岁和17岁。 最近，我们在以下方面评估了他们的社交和情感发展 年龄24-25岁，100%定位我们以前的青少年受试者，以及 达到98%的复试成功率。基于我们的 在这11年中发现了广泛的连续性，特别是 在诸如家庭互动方式和依恋模式等领域， 与未来的育儿方式高度相关，我们建议遵循 当这些样本通过FIFE阶段时，在此阶段大多数 人们会成为父母。根据当前人口普查的详细预测 数据显示，我们估计91名受试者的孩子将是 在接下来的五年中，年龄在12到54个月之间。我们计划 检查重叠关系模型中的多个链接 个体发展特点与家庭互动模式 青春期：1)青壮年个性/发展， 精神病理学和社会功能(整个样本)；2) 成年期的父母养育质量，以及，3)相应的儿童结果 (适用于我们样本中有适当年龄子女的人)。 在这个项目中嵌入了四个概念上有界限的研究 回答有关严重青少年精神病理学的作用的问题 作为长期风险的预测指标，以及关于个人的角色 儿童家庭间连贯性调节的发育因素 不同的世代。计划多变量数据分析技术 还将专注于确定两代人之间的直接联系 作为潜在的中介因素。

In this project we propose the collection of a new panel of longitudinal data to examine continuities from previously observed adolescent and familial dimensions in one generation to adult development, parenting behavior and child outcomes 15 to 20 years later in a new generation. We follow a sample of 146 former adolescent psychiatric patients and non-patients who were studied intensively with their families between the ages of 14 and 17. Most recently, we have assessed their social and emotional development at age 24- 25, locating 100% of our former adolescent subjects, and achieving a 98% success rate in re-interviewing them. Based on our findings of extensive continuities across this 11 year span, particularly in domains such as family interaction styles and models of attachment, that are highly relevant to future parenting, we are proposing to follow this sample as they move through the phase of fife during which most people become parents. Based on detailed projections from current census data, we estimate that 91 of our subjects will parent a child who will be between 12 and 54 months of age during the next five years. We plan to examine multiple links in a model of overlapping relations from individual developmental characteristics and family interaction patterns in adolescence to: 1) Young adult personality/development, psychopathology, and social functioning (for our entire sample); 2) Qualities of parenting in adulthood, and, 3) Corresponding child outcomes (for those in our sample with children of appropriate ages). Embedded within this project are four conceptually bounded studies addressing questions about the role of serious adolescent psychopathology as a predictor of long-term risk, and about the role of individual developmental factors in mediating continuities between families of different generations. Planned multivariate data analytic techniques will focus upon identifying both direct links across generations, as well as potential mediating factors.
