This study utilized a longitudinal design to examine relations between paternal alcoholism, paternal psychopathology, marital aggression and fathers' harsh parenting behavior in a sample of children with alcoholic (n = 89) and non-alcoholic (n = 94) fathers. Structural Equation Modeling revealed that paternal alcoholism, depression, and antisocial behavior at 12 months of child age each predicted higher levels of marital aggression at 36 months. Moreover, after controlling for prior parenting, marital aggression was predictive of harsher parenting at kindergarten. Alcoholism and psychopathology were not directly predictive of harsh parenting with marital aggression included in the model, thus indicating that marital aggression is mediating the relation between paternal risk factors and parenting outcome. Results of this study suggest that one pathway linking fathers' alcohol diagnosis to harsh parenting is via marital aggression.
本研究采用纵向设计，在一个包括酗酒（n = 89）和非酗酒（n = 94）父亲的儿童样本中，考察了父亲酗酒、父亲精神病理学、婚姻侵犯和父亲严厉教养行为之间的关系。结构方程模型显示，儿童 12 个月时的父亲酗酒、抑郁和反社会行为均预测了 36 个月时更高水平的婚姻侵犯。此外，在控制了先前的教养行为后，婚姻侵犯对幼儿园时期更严厉的教养行为具有预测作用。在纳入模型的婚姻侵犯的情况下，酗酒和精神病理学并不能直接预测严厉教养行为，这表明婚姻侵犯在父亲风险因素与教养结果之间起中介作用。本研究结果表明，将父亲的酒精诊断与严厉教养联系起来的一个途径是通过婚姻侵犯。
