Parental monitoring is considered an essential parenting skill. Despite its relevance to a range of child and adolescent outcomes, including the prevention of conduct problems and substance use, there has been little empirical attention devoted to examining the antecedents of parental monitoring. Building on Brofenbrenner's ecological model, this study examined the association between the ecological context in which families reside and parental monitoring across two waves of data separated by 15 months. Findings were consistent across increasingly conservative sets of hierarchical multiple regression analyses. Whether the neighborhood was rural or urban and the level of maternal depressive symptoms predicted parental-monitoring behavior concurrently and longitudinally as well as change in parental monitoring over time. Monitoring increased over the 15-month interval more in urban areas than rural areas and among mothers with lower levels of depressive symptoms. Clinical implications and directions for future research are discussed.
父母监督被视为一项重要的育儿技能。尽管它与一系列儿童和青少年的结果相关，包括预防行为问题和物质使用，但很少有实证研究关注考察父母监督的 antecedents。基于布罗芬布伦纳的生态模型，本研究考察了家庭居住的生态环境与相隔15个月的两波数据中的父母监督之间的关联。在越来越保守的分层多元回归分析中，研究结果是一致的。邻里是农村还是城市以及母亲抑郁症状的程度，在同时期和纵向都预测了父母监督行为以及父母监督随时间的变化。在15个月的间隔期内，城市地区的监督增长幅度大于农村地区，且在抑郁症状水平较低的母亲中也是如此。本文讨论了临床意义和未来研究的方向。
