Abstract: | Research has traditionally focused on the role of genetic and environmental variables in the development and maintenance of
childhood internalizing disorders. Temperament variables, such as negative affect and effortful control have gained considerable
interest within the field of developmental psychopathology. Environmental factors such as mother–child interactions and family
cohesion have also been linked with internalizing disorders. The current study examines the relationship between child negative
affect, effortful control, maternal negative affect, family functioning, and internalizing symptoms in a sample of preschool-aged
children using a path analysis approach. Sixty-five children, aged 3–5 years and their mothers completed measures on child
temperament, family environment, maternal personality, and child internalizing symptoms. Results support a complex model for
the influence of both direct and indirect factors on internalizing symptoms in preschool-aged children. |
