To examine the effects of parenting distractions on supervising behaviors in relation to child risky behaviors.
Forty preschool-aged children and their parents were randomly assigned to occupy a simulated home living room for 45 min with the parent involved in either (a) no planned distraction, (b) a telephone call distraction, (c) a TV show distraction, or (d) a computer assignment distraction. Parent and child behaviors were recorded and coded.
Parent supervising behaviors were significantly intercorrelated but revealed no relation to risky child behavior. Children showed higher risky behavior during parental distractions and steadily over time when parent distractions occurred. Additionally, younger children were more likely to engage in risky behavior when compared to older children.
Parents showed significant reductions in their ability to supervise children during distractions, limiting the ability to provide education or to take immediate action necessary to prevent or minimize possible injuries.
研究养育过程中的干扰因素对与儿童危险行为相关的监督行为的影响。
40名学龄前儿童及其父母被随机分配到一个模拟的家庭客厅中待45分钟,父母参与以下四种情况之一:(a)无计划干扰;(b)电话干扰;(c)电视节目干扰;(d)电脑任务干扰。对父母和孩子的行为进行记录和编码。
父母的监督行为之间存在显著的相互关联,但与儿童的危险行为无关。在父母受到干扰期间,儿童表现出更高的危险行为,并且随着父母干扰的持续,危险行为会稳步增加。此外,与年龄较大的儿童相比,年龄较小的儿童更有可能从事危险行为。
父母在受到干扰时监督孩子的能力显著下降,这限制了他们提供教育或采取必要的立即行动以预防或尽量减少可能伤害的能力。
