Based on the bioecological theory and family process model, this dissertation aims to understand the mechanisms underlying parenting and children's social-emotional development, focusing on gene and environment interplay using serotonin genes. Grounded on the literature review in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 investigated whether children with sensitive genes were more likely to show social competence if they experienced positive relationships in an earlier period. The results showed that children with sensitive alleles on 5-HTTLPR or STin2 were likely to show greater social competence if they were securely attached to mothers. Chapter 3 tested mediated and moderated paths from mothers' and children's genes to child behavior problems via child temperament and mothers' negative parenting behaviors. Based on the conceptual framework about gene and environment interplay, I tested gene and environment correlations (passive, active, and evocative) and interaction. The results showed that mothers' sensitive allele(s) on TPH2 rs4570625 inherited to their children and children with sensitive allele(s) were more likely to show anxious and withdrawn behavior problems via mothers' psychological aggression (passive rGE). Children with sensitive allele(s) on 5-HTTLPR were likely to show difficult temperament in infancy and anxious behavior problems after entering schools (active rGE). Children with sensitive allele(s) on 5-HTTLPR were also likely to receive mothers' negative parenting behaviors and to experience more internalizing behavior problems. However, sequential mediation paths supporting evocative rGE were not statistically significant, and there was no significant moderation (G x E) found. After I examined the association between children’s genes and their social-emotional behaviors in Chapters 2 and 3, I investigated the association among mothers’ genes, fathers' support, and mothers' parenting behaviors in Chapter 4. Mothers who had at least one or more sensitive alelle(s) on 5-HTTLPR were less likely to show physical aggression to children if they received more coparenting support from fathers. However, if mothers received greater childcare provision from fathers, mothers with sensitive allele(s) were more likely to show physical and psychological aggression to their children. Chapter 5 summarized major findings of these studies, discussed weaknesses, and provided suggestions for future research. 2018 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1534751234899112 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1534751234899112 restricted--full text unavailable until 2023-12-31 This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
