Research has demonstrated the effect of parent emotion socialization on later child emotion development and behavior. Given these findings, the goal of the present study was to examine the effect of an early parenting intervention on a component of emotion socialization: parent emotion talk. We also examined the indirect effect of behaviorally-based parenting skills on the relation between the intervention and parent emotion talk. Participants were 58 mothers and their 12- to 15-month-old infant. Families were randomly assigned to standard pediatric primary care or a brief in-home intervention targeting parenting skills to promote positive infant behavior. Families completed assessments at baseline, post-intervention, and a 3-month follow-up. Assessments included a 10-min infant-led play task, which was coded for parent emotion talk. Results demonstrated a significant effect of the intervention on parent emotion talk. Specifically, mothers in the intervention group displayed a higher frequency of parent emotion talk at post-intervention. Indirect effects of behaviorally-based parenting skills were significant, demonstrating that increases in behaviorally-based parenting skills at the post-intervention led to increases in parent emotion talk at the follow-up. Findings highlight the effect of a brief, home-based behavioral parenting intervention with infants on maternal emotion socialization.

研究已经证明了父母情感社会化对儿童后期情感发展和行为的影响。鉴于这些发现，本研究的目的是检查早期育儿干预对情绪社会化的一个组成部分的影响：父母情绪谈话。我们还研究了基于行为的育儿技巧对干预和父母情感谈话之间关系的间接影响。参与者是 58 位母亲和她们 12 到 15 个月大的婴儿。家庭被随机分配到标准儿科初级保健或针对育儿技能的简短家庭干预，以促进积极的婴儿行为。家庭在基线、干预后和 3 个月的随访中完成了评估。评估包括一个 10 分钟的婴儿主导的游戏任务，该任务被编码为父母情感谈话。结果表明干预对父母情绪谈话有显着影响。具体来说，干预组的母亲在干预后表现出更高频率的父母情绪谈话。基于行为的育儿技能的间接影响是显着的，这表明干预后基于行为的育儿技能的提高导致后续父母情绪谈话的增加。研究结果强调了对婴儿进行简短的、以家庭为基础的行为育儿干预对母亲情绪社会化的影响。证明干预后基于行为的育儿技能的提高导致后续父母情绪谈话的增加。研究结果强调了对婴儿进行简短的、以家庭为基础的行为育儿干预对母亲情绪社会化的影响。证明干预后基于行为的育儿技能的提高导致后续父母情绪谈话的增加。研究结果强调了对婴儿进行简短的、以家庭为基础的行为育儿干预对母亲情绪社会化的影响。
