母亲消极情绪表露与儿童焦虑的关系：有调节的中介模型

本研究以临沂市3所小学1173名一至六年级的学生及其母亲为被试，探讨了母亲消极情绪表露与儿童焦虑的关系，以及母子冲突和母子亲密在这一关系中的作用。采用家庭情绪表露问卷、亲子关系问卷、儿童焦虑性情绪障碍筛查表进行研究。结果表明：(1)母亲消极情绪表露与母子冲突、儿童焦虑两两显著正相关，母子亲密与母亲消极情绪表露、母子冲突、儿童焦虑的相关不显著；(2)母亲消极情绪表露显著正向预测儿童焦虑；(3)母子冲突在母亲消极情绪表露与儿童焦虑间起中介作用，且上述中介效应的后半段路径受到母子亲密的调节。

The Relationship Between Maternal Negative Emotional Expressiveness and Child Anxiety: A Moderated Mediation Model

The purpose of this study was to investigate the roles of mother-child conflict and mother-child closeness in the relationship between maternal negative emotional expressiveness and child anxiety. A total of 1173 students from 3 primary schools were investigated with Family Expressiveness Scale, Parent-Child Scale, and the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders. The results showed that: 1) maternal negative emotional expressiveness, mother-child conflict, and child anxiety were positively correlated with each other, but mother-child closeness was not significantly related to maternal negative emotional expressiveness, mother-child conflict, and child anxiety; 2) maternal negative emotional expressiveness could directly and positively predict child anxiety; 3) mother-child conflict played a mediating role in the relationship between maternal negative emotional expressiveness and children’s anxiety, and mother-child closeness moderated the second path of the indirect association. These results reveal the mechanism of the relationship between maternal negative emotional expressiveness and child anxiety, which provides a new reference for the prevention and intervention of children’s anxiety.
