Associations among positive and conflictual marital behavior and multiple reports of child behavior problems were examined in a community sample of 78 families with 3-year-old children. Maternal and paternal parenting behaviors were tested as potential mediators and moderators. Parents reported on child behavior problems and were observed during parent-child interaction and couple discussion in the presence of the child. Observers and preschool teachers also reported on child behavior problems. Less positive marital engagement and greater conflict were associated with observers' reports, but not with parents' or teachers' reports, of more behavior problems. Associations between marital behavior and child behavior problems were not explained by maternal or paternal behavior; stronger support was found for moderating effects of parenting. Also, positive marital engagement was a slightly better predictor of child behavior problems than was marital conflict.
在一个由78个有3岁孩子的家庭组成的社区样本中，研究了积极和冲突性婚姻行为与儿童行为问题的多重报告之间的关联。对母亲和父亲的养育行为作为潜在的中介和调节因素进行了测试。父母报告了孩子的行为问题，并在亲子互动以及有孩子在场的夫妻讨论过程中接受观察。观察者和幼儿园教师也报告了孩子的行为问题。较少的积极婚姻参与和较多的冲突与观察者报告的更多行为问题相关，但与父母或教师的报告无关。婚姻行为与儿童行为问题之间的关联无法由母亲或父亲的行为来解释；有更强的证据支持养育的调节作用。此外，积极的婚姻参与比婚姻冲突对儿童行为问题的预测略好。
