父亲养育压力的稳定性及对儿童学步期问题行为的预测

Stability and Association with Toddler's Behavioral Problems of Father's Parenting Stress

本研究采用追踪研究及多重报告法,考察了儿童从6个月至14个月间父亲养育压力的稳定性特点,以及6个月与14个月时的父亲养育压力对儿童24个月时的问题行为的影响。结果发现:(1)儿童6个月与14个月时的父亲养育压力具有中等程度的相关;从6个月到14个月,父亲的总体养育压力和育儿愁苦维度的平均压力水平没有显著变化,亲子互动失调维度显著降低,儿童困难特质维度的平均压力水平显著上升;(2)儿童6个月时,父亲的育儿愁苦显著预测儿童24个月时的内隐问题行为;14个月时,父亲的育儿愁苦显著预测儿童24个月时的外显问题行为;6个月和14个月时,儿童困难特质维度的压力都可显著预测儿童24个月时的外显问题行为。

Using longitudinal design and multiple reporters,the present study aims to investigate the stability and dynamic characteristics of early father＇s parenting stress and its three subscales,and study whether father＇s parenting stress at 6 months of infants and at 14 months of toddlers can predict internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems of toddlers aged 24 months.254 fathers completed the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form at two times within an 8-month interval.254 pairs of parents completed the Infant-Toddlers Social and Emotional Assessment of toddlers aged 24 months.Pearson correlation analysis showed that the total father＇s parenting stress and its three dimensions at 6 months of infants showed moderate association with those at 14 months.Across periods ranged from 6 to 14 months,mean scores of total parenting stress and parenting distress remained unchanged,and stress in parent-child dysfunctional interaction was decreased,while stress in difficult child was increased.Hierarchical regression analyses showed that father＇s parenting distress of infants aged 6 months predicted the internalizing behavior problems of toddlers aged 24 months,and that of toddlers aged 14 months predicted the externalizing behavior problems of toddlers aged 24 months.Parenting stress in difficult child dimension of children aged 6 and 14 months both predicted the externalizing behavior problems of toddlers aged 24 months.
