■外化行为问题(EBPs)在儿童中很常见,对儿童和家庭成员有重大的长期影响。父母,尤其是母亲,患有EBP的儿童经常会经历更高的情绪困扰。影响父母处理这种痛苦的能力的一个关键因素是他们的自我分化水平(DOS)。不同的父母更有可能从事满足孩子心理需求的实践,从而支持对儿童福祉至关重要的自决理论原则。这项研究检查了父母DOS对育儿实践以及随后对儿童EBP的影响,探索母亲和父亲之间可能的差异。
■32名年龄在6-14岁之间、被诊断患有EBP的母亲和父亲的孩子参加了。父母完成了自我清单的区分-简表,修订后的父母作为社会背景问卷,以及评估父母DOS的优势和困难问卷,实践,和孩子的EBP,分别。调整后的并行调解模型研究了父母实践在父母DOS与儿童EBP之间的关系中的中介作用。
虽然未发现父母DOS与儿童症状之间的直接联系,一个完整的调解模型表明需要令人沮丧的做法在父母DOS和孩子的EBP之间进行调解,对于母亲和父亲。此外,父亲需要支持的做法,但不是母亲,与孩子的症状呈负相关。
■这些发现突出了父母特征之间的相互作用,需要令人沮丧的做法,和一个孩子的精神病理学。值得注意的是,父亲的支持行为是对儿童EBP的潜在保护因素,为未来针对父亲的研究和干预提供了有希望的方向。
UNASSIGNED: Externalizing behavior problems (EBPs) are common in children, with significant long-term impact on the child and family members. Parents, particularly mothers, of children with EBPs often experience heightened emotional distress. One crucial factor affecting parents\' ability to manage this distress is their level of differentiation-of-self (DOS). Differentiated parents are more likely to engage in practices that meet their child\'s psychological needs, thus supporting the self-determination theory principles vital for a child\'s well-being. This study examined the impact of parental DOS on parenting practices and subsequently on the child\'s EBPs, exploring possible differences between mothers and fathers.
UNASSIGNED: Thirty-two mother-father dyads with children aged 6-14, diagnosed with EBPs participated. Parents completed the Differentiation of Self Inventory-Short Form, the Revised Parents as a Social Context Questionnaire, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire to assess parental DOS, practices, and child\'s EBPs, respectively. Adjusted parallel mediation models examined the mediating role of parental practices in the relationship between parental DOS and a child\'s EBPs.
UNASSIGNED: While no direct link between parental DOS and child\'s symptoms was found, a complete mediation model indicated need-frustrating practices mediating between parental DOS and a child\'s EBPs, for both mothers and fathers. Additionally, fathers\' need-supportive practices, but not mothers\', were negatively associated with the child\'s symptoms.
UNASSIGNED: These findings highlight the interaction between parental traits, need-frustrating practices, and a child\'s psychopathology. Notably, fathers\' supportive behaviors emerged as potential protective factors against child\'s EBPs, suggesting promising directions for future research and interventions targeting fathers.
