Abstract

Models of developmental psychopathology emphasize both mediation and moderation processes among child and caregiving attributes; however, little research has examined both these processes simultaneously on the development of internalizing problems. This study tested a moderated mediation model that related early childhood shyness, emotion regulation and maternal negative control to school-age internalizing problems among 257 boys from low-income families. Shyness and maternal negative control was assessed at ages 1.5–2, emotion regulation was observed at age 3.5, and internalizing symptoms were assessed by mothers and teachers at age 6 or 7. Results indicated that 1) the active distraction regulation strategy mediated the relations between early shyness and maternal report of internalizing symptoms; 2) the passive/dependent regulation strategy mediated the relations between shyness and teacher report of internalizing symptoms; and 3) both mediation processes were moderated by maternal negative control. The results are discussed in relation to implications for early prevention and intervention.

To account for potential inflation in the path coefficients, we also fitted the same series of SEM models with age-2 maternal rating of internalizing symptoms as a control variable (with its associations with the mediators and the dependent variable estimated). Results were similar to those reported above when age-2 internalizing problems was not in the model. The only difference was that at low levels of maternal negative control, the total indirect effect (the mediation effect) was just statistically significant, with .00 at the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval (B = 0.06, SE = 0.03, p = 0.05, 95% CI [0.00, 0.13]).

We were unable to control for earlier teacher assessment of internalizing problems, as age 6 was the youngest age when teacher assessment of internalizing problems was available.
