Hyperactivity, impulsivity, and attention problems (HIA) in children and adolescents are stressful for parents. In this study, we used theories of parents' perceived power and attributions for youths' behaviors to develop a model to understand parents' reactions to their youths' HIA. We followed 706 youths (376 boys and 330 girls, aged 10-12 years at T1) and their parents in a community-based project over 5 years. Measures of youths' HIA, youths' unresponsiveness to correction, parents' feelings of powerlessness, parental monitoring, and parents' negative behaviors toward their youths, were used. HIA in youths predicted increases in parents' perceptions that their youths were unresponsive to correction, which in turn prompted parents to feel more powerless over time. Further, parents' feelings of powerlessness were associated with increases in negative parenting behaviors over time. These results indicate a movement to more negative parenting practices over time as a result of youths' HIA.
儿童和青少年的多动、冲动和注意力问题 (HIA) 给父母带来了压力。在这项研究中，我们使用了父母感知权力和青少年行为归因的理论，来建立一个模型，以了解父母对子女 HIA 的反应。我们在一个基于社区的项目中对 706 名青少年（376 名男孩和 330 名女孩，T1 时年龄为 10-12 岁）及其父母进行了为期 5 年的跟踪研究。使用了青少年 HIA、青少年对纠正的无反应、父母无力感、父母监督和父母对青少年的负面行为等指标。青少年的 HIA 预测了父母认为青少年对纠正无反应的程度增加，这反过来又导致父母随着时间的推移感到越来越无能为力。此外，父母的无力感与负面养育行为的增加有关。这些结果表明，由于青少年的 HIA，随着时间的推移，养育行为会变得更加消极。
