A sample of children, initially 12 years old, in the People's Republic of China participated in this 2-year longitudinal study. Data on parental warmth, control, and indulgence were collected from children's self-reports. Information concerning social, academic, and psychological adjustment was obtained from multiple sources. The results indicated that parenting styles might be a function of child gender and change with age. Regression analyses revealed that parenting styles of fathers and mothers predicted different outcomes. Whereas maternal warmth had significant contributions to the prediction of emotional adjustment, paternal warmth significantly predicted later social and school achievement. It was also found that paternal, but not maternal, indulgence significantly predicted children's adjustment difficulties. The contributions of the parenting variables might be moderated by the child's initial conditions.
在中国，选取了一批最初为12岁的儿童参与这项为期两年的纵向研究。关于父母温情、控制和溺爱的数据通过儿童的自我报告收集。有关社会、学业和心理调适的信息则从多个来源获取。结果表明，育儿方式可能是儿童性别的函数，并随年龄变化。回归分析显示，父亲和母亲的育儿方式预测了不同的结果。母亲的温情对情绪调适的预测有显著贡献，而父亲的温情则显著预测了后期的社会和学业成就。研究还发现，父亲而非母亲的溺爱显著预测了儿童的调适困难。育儿变量的贡献可能会受到儿童初始状况的调节。
