This study compared low-income Mexican American parents of young children referred for behavior problems to their nonreferred counterparts on an observational measure of parent-child interactions. Referred Mexican American parents demonstrated more negative behaviors than their nonreferred counterparts in both nondirective and highly directive situations. However, no differences were found at moderate levels of directiveness. The most and least directive situations in the Dyadic Parent-Child Interaction Coding System best differentiated referred from nonreferred Mexican American families, and families differed more in their negative behaviors than positive behaviors. Many of the parenting behaviors that have been found to differ between referred and nonreferred Caucasian families were also observed to differ between their Mexican American counterparts.
本研究比较了被推荐和未被推荐的有年幼子女的墨西哥裔美国家庭，观察他们的亲子互动，以评估其行为问题。在非直接和高度直接的情况下，被推荐的墨西哥裔美国家长表现出比非被推荐的家长更多的负面行为。然而，在中度直接性的情况下，没有发现差异。在双向亲子互动编码系统中，最直接和最不直接的情况最能区分被推荐和非被推荐的墨西哥裔美国家庭，而且家庭在消极行为上的差异大于积极行为。在被推荐和非被推荐的白人家庭中发现的许多育儿行为差异，也存在于他们的墨西哥裔美国家庭中。
