We examined associations between child inhibitory control, harsh parental discipline and externalizing problems in 120 4 year-old boys and girls in the US, China, and Japan. Individual differences in children's inhibitory control abilities, assessed using behavioral tasks and maternal ratings, were related to child externalizing problems reported by mothers. As predicted, both child inhibitory control and maternal harsh discipline made significant contributions to child externalizing problems in all three countries. Across countries, child inhibitory control and maternal harsh discipline made significant independent contributions to early externalizing problems, suggesting an additive model of association. Our findings supported the cross-cultural generalizability of child inhibitory control and parental harsh punishment as key contributors to disruptive behavior in young children.
我们在美国、中国和日本研究了 120 名 4 岁男孩和女孩的儿童抑制控制、严厉的父母纪律和外化问题之间的关系。使用行为任务和母亲评分评估的儿童抑制控制能力的个体差异与母亲报告的儿童外化问题有关。正如预期的那样，儿童抑制控制和母亲严厉的纪律在所有三个国家都对儿童的外化问题做出了重要贡献。在所有国家中，儿童的抑制控制和母亲的严厉纪律都对外化问题的早期发展做出了重要的独立贡献，这表明存在一种关联的累加模型。我们的研究结果支持了儿童抑制控制和父母严厉惩罚作为幼儿破坏性行为的关键因素在跨文化中的普遍性。
