童年期虐待不仅会对遭受虐待个体的身心健康造成直接影响，而且会影响该个体成年后的教养方式，甚至对该个体的子女产生跨代的负面影响。已有研究已经证实了童年期虐待存在代际效应，但关注童年期情感忽视的研究相对较少，对其代际效应的机制理解不够。同时，少有研究考察了父亲的独特作用以及父母之间的相互影响。因此本研究招募了6-9岁儿童的父母共397对，使用儿童期虐待问卷、家庭情绪表达问卷、儿童适应与父母效能量表分别测量父母童年情感忽视经历、父母情绪表达和儿童问题行为，并采用主客体互倚模型探究父母童年情感忽视经历与儿童问题行为的关系，以及父母积极与消极情绪表达的中介作用。研究发现：（1）母亲的童年期情感忽视水平只能通过自身消极情绪表达的增多间接地增加儿童问题行为；（2）父亲的童年期情感忽视经历无法通过其自身的和伴侣的积极、消极情绪表达影响儿童的问题行为。本研究的发现提示父母，减少家庭中的消极情绪表达是首要关注点，同时也要给孩子提供充足的情感关怀，以促进儿童的健康发展。

Childhood maltreatment has an impact on both the health of the abused individual and the parenting styles of that abused individual in adulthood, and it even has a negative impact on the offspring of that individual. Existing studies have confirmed the intergenerational effects of childhood maltreatment in general and in specific types, however, relatively few studies have focused on emotional neglect and its mechanism of intergenerational transmission. At the same time, few studies have examined the unique role of fathers and how parents interact with each other. Therefore, this study recruited 397 dyads of parents of children aged 6-9 to complete the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Child Adjustment and Parent Efficacy Scale, and Self-Expressiveness in the Family Questionnaire. Using the actor-partner interdependence mediation model, this study explored the relationship between parental childhood emotional neglect and children’ s problem behaviors, as well as whether parents’ positive and negative emotional expressiveness played the mediated role. The results showed that: (a) maternal emotional neglect in childhood can only indirectly increase children’ s problem behaviors through the increase of their own negative emotional expressiveness; (b) paternal emotional neglect in childhood was found to have no effect on children’ s problem behavior through their own and spouse’ s positive and negative emotional expressiveness. Findings of this study suggest that parents should reduce the expression of negative emotion in the first place and pay attention to the emotional care of children, in order to promote the well-being of children.
