Early childhood is an important period for understanding individual differences in the development of self-regulation, and parent-child interactions may serve as a pivotal socialization context for child development. Dyadic variability is a feature of parent-child interactions defined as a change in the type, intensity, or valence of dyadic states of interest during the course of interaction. Given mixed effects for the effects of dyadic variability on child dysregulation in early childhood, the present dissertation examined the role of maternal behaviors working in concert as a predictor for individual differences in mother-child dyadic variability during a period of challenge and the role of mother-child interaction content as a moderator of dyadic variability in predicting children's externalizing problems. Despite involving samples with different socioeconomic characteristics and levels of risk, latent profile analyses (LPAs) in both Study 1 and 2 revealed the presence of three similar maternal behavioral profiles: Lower Scaffolding, Higher Scaffolding, and Negative. Across both studies, the Lower Scaffolding profile was associated with lower levels of mother-child affective and behavioral variability whereas the Higher Scaffolding profile was associated with higher levels of mother-child affective and behavioral variability. Interestingly, Study 1 also included an Overcontrolling profile which was associated with higher dyadic behavioral variability. In Study 2, structural equation modeling revealed that when mother-child dyads exhibited lower positive affect, lower affective variability was related to higher externalizing problems whereas moderate and higher affective variability were associated with mean levels of behavior problems. On the other hand, when mother-child dyads exhibited higher positive affect, lower affective variability was related to lower externalizing problems whereas moderate and higher affective variability were associated with mean levels of behavior problems. Our findings suggest that moderate or higher levels of mother-child affective variability may be protective for child outcomes, particularly for dyads who engage in lower positive affect overall. On the other hand, engaging in stable, positive affective exchanges was associated with the lowest levels of children's externalizing problems. Taken together, this dissertation's findings provide evidence for the following: (1) the importance of maternal behaviors for dyadic processes and children's development and the value of using person-centered methodologies to understand how these behaviors work in concert in mother-child interactions, (2) that coregulation processes are not inherently adaptive or maladaptive, and that structure and content of mother-child interactions do interact with one another to shape children's outcomes, and (3) that sample characteristics should be considered when examining the relation between coregulatory processes and children's outcomes.
