幼儿外倾性与攻击行为的关系:自我控制和母亲温暖教养的调节作用

Extroversion and Aggressive Behavior in Early Childhood:Moderating Effects of Self-control and Maternal Warmth

本研究以上海市某幼儿园的237名3~6岁幼儿为被试,请母亲填写幼儿气质及教养方式问卷,幼儿园教师评定幼儿的攻击行为,探讨幼儿外倾性与攻击行为的关系,以及自我控制和母亲温暖教养方式在其中的保护作用。结果表明,自我控制和母亲温暖可以调节幼儿外倾性与攻击行为的关系。与较低的自我控制和母亲温暖的幼儿相比,幼儿较高的自我控制和母亲温暖,可以弱化外倾性与攻击行为的正向关联。结果揭示了自我控制和母亲温暖对幼儿外倾性具有保护作用,有助于减弱这些个体的攻击行为。

The present study aimed to explore the moderating roles of self-control and maternal warmth in predicting the association between extroversion and aggression among preschoolers.A sample of 237 parents and teachers of preschoolers were requested to participate in survey data collection on child temperament and child-rearing practices and aggressive behaviors.The results indicated that girls displayed a higher level of self-control than boys whereas boys exhibited more extroversion and aggression,and mothers showed more warmth toward girls in parenting practices.Child extroversion was positively associated with overt aggression while child self-control and maternal warmth moderated this association.Specifically,the magnitude of the association was weaker for those children with higher self-control and higher maternal warmth.These results indicate the roles of child self-control and maternal warmth in child-rearing as they prevent extroversive children from being overtly aggressive.
