父亲教育参与对幼儿社会适应的影响

Father Educational Involvement and Children's Social Adjustment

目的：考察父亲教育参与是否具有独立于母亲教育参与的独特贡献,以及父亲教育参与作用的发挥是否依赖于母亲教育参与的程度。方法：以372名3-6岁幼儿及其父母为被试,以学前儿童父母参与量表、学前行为水平量表为研究工具,考察父亲教育参与对幼儿社会适应的影响。结果：1控制母亲教育参与后,父亲教育参与仍显著预测幼儿的情绪问题和行为问题,对幼儿社会能力的预测作用不再显著;2父亲教育参与显著预测高母亲教育参与组幼儿的社会适应,而对低母亲教育参与组幼儿社会适应的预测作用不显著。结论：父亲教育参与对幼儿消极适应问题的缓解具有独立于母亲教育参与的独特贡献;在母亲教育参与水平较高时,父亲教育参与对幼儿社会适应的促进作用最大。
