This study investigated how parental beliefs about children's emotions and parental stress relate to children's feelings of security in the parent-child relationship. Models predicting direct effects of parental beliefs and parental stress, and moderating effects of parental stress on the relationship between parental beliefs and children's feelings of security were tested. Participants were 85 African American, European American, and Lumbee American Indian 4(th) and 5(th) grade children and one of their parents. Children reported their feelings of security in the parent-child relationship; parents independently reported on their beliefs and their stress. Parental stress moderated relationships between three of the four parental beliefs about the value of children's emotions and children's attachment security. When parent stress was low, parental beliefs accepting and valuing children's emotions were not related to children's feelings of security; when parent stress was high, however, parental beliefs accepting and valuing children's emotions were related to children's feelings of security. These findings highlight the importance of examining parental beliefs and stress together for children's attachment security.
本研究调查了父母对孩子情绪的看法以及父母压力如何与孩子在亲子关系中的安全感相关。对预测父母看法和父母压力的直接影响以及父母压力对父母看法与孩子安全感之间关系的调节作用的模型进行了测试。参与者是85名非裔美国、欧裔美国和拉姆比美国印第安四年级和五年级的儿童及其父母之一。孩子们报告了他们在亲子关系中的安全感;父母独立报告了他们的看法和压力。父母压力调节了四种关于孩子情绪价值的父母看法中的三种与孩子依恋安全感之间的关系。当父母压力较低时,接受和重视孩子情绪的父母看法与孩子的安全感无关;然而,当父母压力较高时,接受和重视孩子情绪的父母看法与孩子的安全感相关。这些发现凸显了共同审视父母看法和压力对孩子依恋安全感的重要性。
