This study tests the hypothesis that links between contextual risk and children's outcomes are partially explained by differential parenting. Using multi-informant measurement and including up to four children per family (Mage = 3.51, SD = 2.38) in a sample of 397 families, indirect effects (through maternal differential parenting: self-reported and observed) of cumulative contextual risk on four child outcomes were investigated. Cumulative risk was associated with higher levels of differential parenting and, in turn, with higher levels of behavioral problems. Indirect effects were strongest for attentional and social problems but also evident for aggression. The link between differential parenting and outcome was moderated by favoritism, but this was only evident for maternal report and strongest for aggression.
本研究检验了一个假设，即环境风险与儿童结果之间的联系部分可以通过不同的育儿方式来解释。在一个包含 397 个家庭的样本中，使用多信息测量方法，每个家庭最多有四个孩子（平均年龄= 3.51，标准差= 2.38），研究了累积环境风险对四个儿童结果的间接影响（通过母亲的差异化育儿：自我报告和观察）。累积风险与差异化育儿水平的升高有关，而差异化育儿又与行为问题的增多有关。间接效应在注意力和社会问题方面最强，但在攻击行为方面也很明显。差异化育儿与结果之间的联系受到偏爱程度的调节，但这种调节只在母亲报告中明显，而且在攻击行为方面最强。
