Design outcomes

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Sub-project2: Primary outcomes are emotion regulation and mental health status of children of mothers with BPD, anxiety/depression and with no mental disorder. Emotion regulation will be examined via behavior observations in age-appropriate waiting tasks carried out in the laboratories. The waiting tasks will provoke negative affects which enable the coding for emotion regulation strategies (Adrian, Zeman, & Veits, 2011). The temperament of the child will be measured with maternal report questionnaire developed by Mary Rothbart (IBQ, ECBQ and CBQ; Putnam, Garstein, & Rothbart, 2006). Mental health status will be measured with semi-structured interviews (Baby-Kinder-DIPS), conducted with the mothers. Therefore, we developed a hybrid version of the Baby- (Popp et al., 2016) and Kinder-DIPS (Neuschwander et al., 2017) to capture the prevalent disorders for the child age range of 6 months to 6 years. Additionally the Strenghts and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ, sdqinfo.com) will be applied as a brief screening instrument for mental health. Sub-project 3: The familiy climate will be examined with several aspects. Emotions in the parent-child-relationship will be assessed in quality and intensity of emotion displayed in FMSS (Magana et al., 1986). The FMSS is additionally analyzed in terms of mother's coherence (Sher-Censor & Yates, 2010). The mothers' psychophysiology will be conducted via emotional arousal in interaction with their child (paralinguistic cues, f0-analysis; Weusthoff, Baucom, & Hahlweg, 2013). Cognitive features of the relationship will be examined with the mothers' perceived quality of the relationship (PRQ; Kamphaus, & Reynolds, 2015; IEKB; Briegel, Greuel, Stroth & Heinrichs, 2019) and kind of attribution of child behavior (CRDI, CRC; Briegel, 2013). The maternal attribution of negative child intentionality and maternal anger/hostility will be measured with the CV (Haskett et al., 2003; Azar, Stevenson, & Robinson, 2012).
