A model is presented regarding associations between economic strain, support from spouse, and quality of parenting. The model was tested using a sample of 451 2-parent families, each of which included a seventh grader (age 12-13). Parent and adolescent reports, as well as observational ratings, were used as indicators of constructs. Analysis using structural equation modeling procedures indicated that level of spouse support was positively related to supportive parenting, whereas economic strain operated to undermine parental involvement. As posited, economic strain produced its effect through a direct relation with parenting and indirectly through its association with spouse support. These findings held for mothers and fathers, regardless of the gender of the child. Spouse support moderated the impact of economic strain on supportive parenting for mothers but not fathers. Possible explanations for this gender difference are presented.
本文提出了一个关于经济压力、配偶支持与育儿质量之间关联的模型。该模型通过对451个双亲家庭样本进行测试，每个家庭都有一名七年级学生（年龄在12至13岁之间）。父母和青少年的报告以及观察评分被用作构念的指标。使用结构方程建模程序进行的分析表明，配偶支持水平与支持性育儿呈正相关，而经济压力则会削弱父母的参与度。正如所假设的那样，经济压力通过与育儿的直接关系以及通过与配偶支持的关联间接产生影响。这些发现对母亲和父亲都适用，无论孩子的性别如何。配偶支持调节了经济压力对母亲支持性育儿的影响，但对父亲则没有。文中还提出了这种性别差异的可能解释。
