项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Internalizing problems represent a growing public health concern, particularly across the transition to formal schooling, when children face new academic, social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. Despite the prevalence of internalizing problems during childhood, factors underlying their development are not well understood relative to externalizing problems. Thus, the overall objective of the present study is to investigate developmental pathways originating during pregnancy and unfolding across early childhood that contribute to school-age internalizing problems by leveraging an ongoing, large-scale, multi-method, longitudinal study of families. Based on prior theory and empirical evidence, it is expected that specific dimensions of parental trauma-related distress (TRD) spanning pregnancy to preschool will be associated with internalizing problems at age 5. Further, it is hypothesized that observed and self-reported emotion-related socialization behaviors (ERSBs) during preschool-age will mediate the link between parental TRD and school-age internalizing problems. Lastly, it is expected that nonsupportive reactions to children’s negative emotions, specifically, will demonstrate unique incremental prediction of internalizing problems beyond other forms of ERSBs, such as poor emotion coaching and supportive responses. Study aims will be pursued in an established community sample of 159 families (mothers, fathers, and children) who have completed self-report measures during pregnancy, at 1- and 6-months postpartum, and at child ages 1 and 2. Mothers, fathers, and children were invited to attend a laboratory appointment when the child turned 3.5, where parental ERSBs were assessed via self-report and observational coding paradigms. As part of the proposed project, mothers and fathers will be invited to complete a survey of child internalizing problems from home when the child is 5 years of age. Findings are expected to improve prevention and early intervention efforts for school-age children with internalizing problems by identifying malleable factors within the early family environment (e.g., parental psychopathology and parenting behaviors) that ultimately impact the development of internalizing problems. The goals of this study will be accomplished within the proposed research training program, which is aimed at helping the fellow develop expertise in family systems, observational coding, and statistical analyses involving multi-method, longitudinal data. The training plan includes completion of relevant courses, attendance in targeted workshops, individual supervision and mentorship by experts in the field, and preparation for an academic career in clinical psychology.

项目概要内部化问题代表了日益增长的公共卫生问题，特别是在向正式过渡的过程中当孩子们面临新的学业、社交、情感和行为挑战时。童年时期普遍存在内化问题，其发展的因素并不充分因此，本研究的总体目标是调查。起源于怀孕期间并在幼儿期展开的发展途径有助于通过利用持续的、大规模的、多方法的、纵向的研究来内化学龄儿童的问题根据先前的理论和经验证据，预计父母的具体维度。从怀孕到学龄前的创伤相关痛苦（TRD）将与内化问题相关 5 岁时。此外，观察到的和自我报告的与情绪相关的社交行为（ERSB）在学龄前阶段将调解父母 TRD 与学龄内化之间的联系最后，预计对儿童负面情绪的非支持性反应尤其会出现。展示超越其他形式 ERSB 的对内化问题的独特增量预测，例如不良情绪辅导和支持性反应将在已建立的社区中实现。 159 个已完成自我报告措施的家庭（母亲、父亲和儿童）样本怀孕期间、产后 1 个月和 6 个月以及 1 岁和 2 岁儿童时。母亲、父亲和孩子当孩子年满 3.5 岁时，受邀参加实验室预约，其中父母的 ERSB 通过以下方式进行评估：作为拟议项目的一部分，母亲和父亲将采用自我报告和观察编码范例。受邀在孩子 5 岁时在家完成一项关于孩子内化问题的调查。研究结果有望改善学龄儿童的预防和早期干预工作通过识别早期家庭环境中的可塑性因素（例如父母的影响）将问题内在化精神病理学和养育行为）最终影响内化问题的发展。本研究的目标将在拟议的研究培训计划内实现，该计划旨在帮助研究员发展家庭系统、观察编码和统计分析方面的专业知识，涉及多方法、纵向数据的培训计划包括完成相关课程、参加培训。有针对性的研讨会、该领域专家的个人监督和指导以及为临床心理学的学术生涯。
