This study focuses on relations between fathers' behavior in family context and children's adjustment, including the roles of paternal depressive symptoms, paternal marital conflict behaviors, paternal parenting, and children's emotional security. Participants included 235 families with a six-year-old child, with families followed longitudinally each year for three years. In terms of fathers' adjustment, paternal problem drinking was related to paternal negative marital conflict behaviors and decreased positive parenting, which was associated with children's externalizing and internalizing problems. Fathers' depressive symptoms were directly related with children's internalizing problems. Children's emotional security was an intervening variable in relations between father's behavior in family context and children's development.
本研究关注父亲在家庭环境中的行为与儿童适应之间的关系，包括父亲抑郁症状、父亲婚姻冲突行为、父亲育儿方式和儿童情绪安全感的作用。参与者包括 235 个有 6 岁孩子的家庭，这些家庭在三年内每年进行一次纵向跟踪调查。就父亲的适应而言，父亲的问题饮酒与父亲的负面婚姻冲突行为和减少积极育儿方式有关，而这与儿童的外化和内化问题有关。父亲的抑郁症状与儿童的内化问题直接相关。儿童的情绪安全感是父亲家庭环境行为与儿童发展关系的中介变量。
