In this study, based on Family Interactional Theory (FIT), the authors tested a longitudinal model of the intergenerational effects of the grandmothers' parent-child relationships and the grandparents' smoking on the grandchildren's externalizing behavior via parents' psychological symptoms, tobacco use, and child rearing. Using Mplus, the authors obtained a structural equation model that demonstrated generational associations from grandmothers (G1) to parents (G2) to their oldest children (G3) and thus was in accord with FIT. They identified a pathway from the grandmothers' parenting to the grandchildren's externalizing behavior via the parents' psychological symptoms, their smoking, and their child rearing. Parents' psychological symptoms in adolescence were associated with their tobacco use in their late twenties, controlling for the continuity of their psychological symptoms and their tobacco use. This 3-generational model adds to the literature on parent-child relationships (G1), smoking from adolescence to early adulthood (G2), and externalizing behavior in the G3 child.
在本研究中,作者基于家庭互动理论(FIT),通过父母的心理症状、吸烟行为和育儿方式,测试了一个关于祖母的亲子关系和祖父母吸烟对孙辈外化行为的代际影响的纵向模型。作者使用Mplus软件获得了一个结构方程模型,该模型展示了从祖母(G1)到父母(G2)再到他们的长子(G3)的代际关联,因此符合家庭互动理论。他们确定了一条从祖母的育儿方式,经由父母的心理症状、吸烟行为和育儿方式,到孙辈外化行为的路径。在控制了父母心理症状和吸烟行为的连续性后,青少年时期父母的心理症状与他们二十多岁后期的吸烟行为有关。这个三代模型丰富了关于亲子关系(G1)、从青少年到成年早期的吸烟行为(G2)以及G3代儿童外化行为的文献。
