Abstract:We investigated how parents' attributions of blame/responsibility/internal locus for negative events happening to themselves and to their children were related to children's attributions about similar events in their own lives. In a sample of 145 families (including mother, father, and child aged 9–12 years; 73 boys), we tested for unique associations between children's attributions of blame/responsibility/internal locus (child self-attributions) with (a) parents' self-attributions blame/responsibility/internal locus (parent self-attributions) and (b) parents' child attributions of blame/responsibility/internal locus attributions (parents' child attributions). We also examined whether these associations differed across child and parent gender. Using linear regression models, we found children's self-attributions were uniquely negatively related to parents' self-attributions and uniquely positively related to parents' child attributions. There was no evidence these associations differed across same-gender versus opposite-gender parent–child dyads, although when mother and father attributions were entered in the same model, only fathers' child attributions were significantly associated with child self-attributions. Results are suggestive of the importance of parental influence in the formation of children's explanations for their social experiences.

负面事件的父母与子女归因之间的关联

摘要：我们调查了父母对自己和孩子发生的负面事件的归咎于/责任/内部的归因与孩子对自己生活中类似事件的归因之间的关系。在145个家庭（包括9至12岁的母亲，父亲和孩子； 73个男孩）的样本中，我们测试了（a）父母与孩子的责任/责任/内部所在地（孩子的自我归因）之间的独特关联自我归咎于责任/责任/内部轨迹（父母的自我归因），以及（b）父母对归咎于责任/责任/内部轨迹归因的子女的归因（父母的子女归因）。我们还研究了这些关联在儿童和父母之间是否存在差异。使用线性回归模型，我们发现孩子们的 他们的自我归因与父母的自我归因负相关，并且与父母的子女归因呈正相关。没有证据表明同性别和异性父母-子女二元组之间的这种关联有所不同，尽管当在同一模型中输入父亲和父亲的归因时，只有父亲的孩子归因与孩子的自我归因显着相关。结果表明，父母的影响力在形成孩子对他们的社会经历的解释中很重要。尽管在同一模型中输入了父亲和母亲的属性，但只有父亲的孩子属性与孩子的自我属性显着相关。结果表明，父母的影响力在形成孩子对他们的社会经历的解释中很重要。尽管在同一模型中输入了父亲和母亲的属性，但只有父亲的孩子属性与孩子的自我属性显着相关。结果表明，父母的影响力在形成孩子对他们的社会经历的解释中很重要。
