母亲侵入式育儿和婴儿恐惧之间的联系仍然知之甚少,尤其是产妇产后抑郁症的持续存在。本研究调查了产妇产后抑郁症状对产妇侵扰式育儿和婴儿恐惧之间双向联系的调节作用。在低收入人群的样本中,农村母亲。
。1,292名母亲的样本报告了她们在产后2、6、15和24个月时的抑郁症状,而在6,15和24个月的婴儿中观察到了他们的侵扰育儿行为和婴儿恐惧。
。潜在生长曲线模型显示,产妇产后抑郁症状增加超过2年。从6个月到24个月,母亲侵入式育儿保持稳定,婴儿的恐惧增加了。适度分析显示,当母亲的初始抑郁症状水平较低时,母亲侵扰式育儿的初始水平越高,婴儿恐惧的增加越快。此外,当母亲的抑郁症状迅速增加时,婴儿恐惧的初始水平较高,预示着母亲侵扰式育儿的减少速度较快。
。低收入,农村社区样本限制了当前研究结果的普遍性。
。母亲干预式育儿与婴儿恐惧之间的相互作用支持了母亲抑郁症背景下儿童发展的交易模型,对未来的研究和干预工作具有重要意义。
The association between maternal intrusive parenting and infant fear remains poorly understood, especially in the persistence of maternal postpartum depression. The current study investigated the moderating role of maternal postpartum depressive symptoms on the bidirectional link between maternal intrusive parenting and infant fear, among a sample of low-income, rural mothers.
. A sample of 1,292 mothers reported their depressive symptoms at 2, 6, 15, and 24 months postpartum, whereas their intrusive parenting behavior and infant fear were observed at infants age 6, 15, and 24 months.
. Latent growth curve models revealed that maternal postpartum depressive symptoms increased over 2 years. From 6 months to 24 months, maternal intrusive parenting remained stable, and infant fear increased. Moderation analyses revealed that when mothers had low levels of initial depressive symptoms, a higher initial level of maternal intrusive parenting predicted a faster increase of infant fear. Additionally, when mothers\' depressive symptoms showed a fast increase, a higher initial level of infant fear predicted a faster reduction in maternal intrusive parenting.
. The low-income, rural community sample limited the generalizability of the current findings.
. The interplay between maternal intrusive parenting and infant fear supports a transactional model of child development in the context of maternal depression, with implications for future research and intervention efforts.
