The Relelationship Between Marital Quality and Adolescents′ Prososcial and Problem Behaviors:The Mediating Roles of Pareents′ Parenting Competence

以160个家庭中的父亲和母亲为被试,采用问卷法,由父亲和母亲分别报告自己感知的婚姻质量、教养能力感、青少年的亲社会和问题行为,以探讨父母婚姻质量对青少年亲社会、问题行为的影响,并检验教养能力满意度和效能感的中介作用。结果发现:(1)父亲和母亲报告的婚姻质量越好,青少年表现出的亲社会行为越多,问题行为越少;(2)父亲的教养能力满意度在父亲报告的婚姻质量与青少年问题行为的关系中具有部分中介作用;(3)母亲的教养能力效能感在母亲婚姻质量对青少年亲社会、问题行为的影响中起部分中介作用;另外,母亲的教养能力满意度在母亲婚姻质量和青少年问题行为之间的中介效应为边缘显著。

The current study recruited 160 families to examine the effects of marital quality on adolescents＇ prosocial and problem behaviors. Moreover, the mediating roles of maternal and paternal perceptions of parenting sense of competence were tested. Marital quality, parenting sense of competence and adolescents＇ prosocial and problem behaviors were reported by both fathers and mothers. Results revealed that 1） marital quality perceived by both fathers and mothers were positively related to adolescents＇ prosocial behavior and negatively associated with ado- lescents＇ problem behavior; 2） the relationship between father perceived marital quality and adolescents＇ problem behavior was partially mediated by paternal satisfaction of parenting competence; 3） the effects of mothers＇ mari- tal quality on adolescents＇ prosocial and problem behaviors were partially mediated by maternal effectiveness of parenting competence. Additionally, the mediating effects of maternal satisfaction of parenting competence on the relations between mothers＇ marital quality and adolescents＇ problem behavior were marginally significant.
