We examined children's coping and involuntary stress responses as mediators of the relations between parenting or children's effortful control (EC) and adjustment.
Two hundred and forty primarily Mexican American 7- to 12-year-old children reported on their EC, coping, involuntary stress responses, and problem behaviors. Teachers reported on children's academic competence. Parents reported on their reactions to children's negative emotions and on children's EC, problem behaviors, and academic competence.
There were significant zero-order relations between parents' affective responses to children's negative emotions, children's EC, engagement coping, disengagement coping, involuntary stress responses, and adjustment. Consistent evidence emerged that children's engagement coping and involuntary stress-responses mediate the relations between parenting or EC and adjustment.
Results highlight the utility of assessing stress responses in a multidimensional manner and have implications for intervention programs.
我们研究了儿童的应对方式和非自愿应激反应，将其作为养育方式或儿童努力控制（EC）与适应之间关系的调节因素。
240名主要为墨西哥裔美国7至12岁儿童报告了他们的努力控制、应对方式、非自愿应激反应和问题行为。教师报告了儿童的学业能力。父母报告了他们对孩子负面情绪的反应以及孩子的努力控制、问题行为和学业能力。
父母对孩子负面情绪的情感反应、孩子的努力控制、参与应对、脱离应对、非自愿应激反应和适应之间存在显著的零阶关系。有一致的证据表明，儿童的参与应对和非自愿应激反应调节了养育方式或努力控制与适应之间的关系。
研究结果强调了以多维方式评估应激反应的效用，并对干预项目具有启示意义。
