“…It also is not clear whether reciprocal effects would be evident on financial strain (e.g., difficulty paying bills), although this remains an empirical question. There were significant direct paths from 18 month child aggression to AM and AF hostile parenting, which are consistent with other reports of a reciprocal relationship between child behavior and parenting (Colder, Lochman, & Wells, 1997; Gault-Sherman, 2011; Scaramella & Conger, 2003). …”

Background Previous studies have linked marital conflict, parenting, and externalizing problems in early childhood. However, these studies have not examined whether genes account for these links nor have they examined whether contextual factors such as parental personality or financial distress might account for links between marital conflict and parenting. We used an adoption design to allow for a clear examination of environmental impact rather than shared genes of parents and children, and assessments of parental personality and financial strain to assess the effects of context on relationships between marriage and parenting of both mothers and fathers. Method Participants were 308 adoption-linked families comprised of an adopted child, her/his biological mother (BM), adoptive mother (AM) and father (AF). BMs were assessed 3 to 6 and 18 months postpartum and adoptive families were assessed when the child was 18 and 27 months old. Structural equations models were used to examine associations between marital hostility, fathers’ and mothers’ parenting hostility, and child aggressive behavior at 27 months of age. Additionally the contribution of financial strain and adoptive parent personality traits was examined to determine the associations with the spillover of marital hostility to hostile parenting. Results A hostile marital relationship was significantly associated with hostile parenting in fathers and mothers, which were associated with aggressive behavior in toddlers. Subjective financial strain was uniquely associated with marital hostility and child aggression. Antisocial personality traits were related to a more hostile/conflicted marital relationship and to hostile parenting. Conclusions Results clarify mechanisms that may account for the success of early parent-child prevention programs that include a focus on parental economic strain and personality in addition to parent training.

“…Previous research has demonstrated that child characteristics interact with parenting in predicting internalizing symptoms (e.g., Colder et al 1997; Morris et al 2002), but few studies have examined anxiety and depression separately (Oldehinkel et al 2006). In addition, existing research has largely utilized cross-sectional designs, limiting our understanding of interactive effects on developmental changes in symptoms.…”

“…In cross-sectional studies with older children, support has also been demonstrated for differential responding based on fearfulness. Parental over-involvement and harsh discipline were positively related to depression for fearful, school-age boys (Colder et al 1997). In preadolescent youth, perceptions of maternal rejection related to higher depressive symptoms for fearful girls.…”

Temperament was examined as a moderator of maternal parenting behaviors, including warmth, negativity, autonomy granting, and guidance. Observations of parenting and questionnaire measures of temperament and adjustment were obtained from a community sample (N=214; ages 8–12). Trajectories of depression and anxiety were assessed across 3 years. The pattern of parenting as a predictor of internalizing symptoms depended on temperament. Maternal negativity predicted increases in depression for children low in fear. Effortful control moderated sensitivity to maternal negativity, autonomy granting, and guidance. Children low in effortful control reported more symptoms in the presence of negative or poor-fitting parenting. The results support differential responding, but also suggest that temperament may render children vulnerable for the development of problems regardless of parenting.

“…Belsky, Hsieh, and Crnic (1998) found that children who displayed more negative emotionality at age one year, showed stronger correlations between parenting deficits and both externalising and inhibited behaviour at the age of three years, suggesting that the children with greater negative emotionality were more susceptible to the influence of parental care. Subsequent studies have shown similar moderating influences between harsh discipline and externalising problems for children with high levels of fear (Colder, Lochman, & Wells, 1997). …”

Differential susceptibility to fathers' care and involvement: The moderating effect of infant reactivity

2010

The differential susceptibility hypothesis suggests that children differ in their susceptibility to the influence of both positive and negative environmental factors. Children with reactive temperaments are hypothesised to be particularly susceptible to environmental influences, both for better and for worse. The present study sought to investigate whether infant temperament moderates the influence of fathers on child prosocial and problem behaviours. In a large prospective population study (Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children), 5064 children were followed between the ages of six and 81 months (6¾ years). Infant temperament, child behaviours, and fathers’ involvement and depression were assessed.Although no overall moderating effect of reactive temperament was found for father involvement or depression, there was an interaction between reactivity, child gender, and father involvement. Girls with reactive temperaments were more susceptible to father involvement, showing significantly fewer problem behaviours and more prosocial behaviours when fathers were more involved, and more problem behaviours and fewer prosocial behaviours with less father involvement. The findings provide some support for the differential susceptibility hypothesis and extend existing findings to include effects of fathers’ involvement on positive and negative behavioural outcomes.
