In the current study, we evaluated the extent to which mothers reported emotion dysregulation on the Difficulties with Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (DERS) (a) converged with physiological indices of emotion dysregulation while parenting, (b) correlated with maternal sensitivity, and (c) predicted infant attachment disorganization and behavior problems in a sample of 259 mothers and their infants. When infants were 6 months old, mothers’ physiological arousal and regulation were measured during parenting tasks and mothers completed the DERS. Maternal sensitivity was observed during distress‐eliciting tasks when infants were 6 and 14 months old. Infant attachment disorganization was assessed during the Strange Situation when infants were 14 months old and mothers reported on infants’ behavior problems when infants were 27 months old. Mothers who reported greater emotion regulation difficulties were more physiologically dysregulated during stressful parenting tasks and also showed lower levels of maternal sensitivity at 6 months. Mother‐reported dysregulation predicted higher likelihood of infant attachment disorganization and more behavior problems. Results suggest that the DERS is a valid measure of maternal emotional dysregulation and may be a useful tool for future research and intervention efforts aimed toward promoting positive parenting and early child adjustment.

母亲自我报告的情绪失调:在婴儿心理健康领域的一种潜在有效方法。

在当前的研究中,我们评估了母亲在情绪调节问卷调查(DERS)的难度下报告情绪失调的程度(a)与育儿时情绪失调的生理指标趋于一致,(b)与孕产妇的敏感性相关,以及(c)在259位母亲及其婴儿的样本中预测了婴儿的依恋混乱和行为问题。婴儿6个月大时,在育儿任务中测量母亲的生理唤醒和调节,母亲完成DERS。在遇难任务中,当婴儿分别为6和14个月大时,观察到了母体敏感性。在陌生情况下评估婴儿的依恋状况,当时婴儿为14个月大,母亲报告婴儿为27个月时的行为问题。报告说情绪调节困难更大的母亲在压力性的养育任务中生理上更加失调,并且在6个月时母亲的敏感性降低。母亲报告的失调预示着婴儿依恋混乱的可能性更高,行为问题也更多。结果表明,DERS是衡量母亲情绪失调的有效方法,并且可能是未来研究和干预工作的有用工具,旨在促进积极的父母养育和早期儿童适应。
