This study investigated associations among different types of parental psychopathology and several specific parenting practices. DESIGN: Mothers (n = 182) and fathers (n = 126) of preschool-aged children with behavior problems completed questionnaires assessing parental psychopathology and parenting practices, and participated in observed parent-child interactions. RESULTS: Maternal depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and several different personality disorder traits were related to maternal negativity, laxness, and lack of warmth. Paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal, and borderline personality disorder symptoms predicted mothers' parenting practices, even when statistically controlling for other types of psychopathology. For fathers, those same symptoms, dependent and avoidant symptoms, and substance abuse symptoms were associated with self-reported lax parenting. Evidence emerged that psychopathology in one parent was associated with less overreactivity in the other parent. CONCLUSIONS: Many aspects of parents' psychological functioning play a role in determining specific parenting practices, including personality disorder symptoms.
本研究调查了不同类型的父母心理病理学与几种特定育儿方式之间的关联。设计：有行为问题的学龄前儿童的母亲（n = 182）和父亲（n = 126）完成了评估父母心理病理学和育儿方式的问卷，并参与了观察到的亲子互动。结果：母亲的抑郁、焦虑、药物滥用以及几种不同的人格障碍特质与母亲的消极、宽松和缺乏温暖有关。偏执、分裂样、分裂型和边缘型人格障碍症状预测了母亲的育儿方式，即使在对其他类型的心理病理学进行统计控制时也是如此。对于父亲来说，同样的症状、依赖和回避症状以及药物滥用症状与自我报告的宽松育儿方式有关。有证据表明，一方父母的心理病理学与另一方父母较少的过度反应有关。结论：父母心理功能的许多方面在决定特定的育儿方式中起作用，包括人格障碍症状。
