Although the importance of parenting styles directly influencing child development is well established, fewer studied have examined whether parenting styles also affect children's behavioural problems indirectly, mediated through children's academic self-concept (ASC). We examined direct and shared effects of parenting styles on behavioural problems of 199 Kurdish primary school children with a mean age of 11 years 7 months (range 11 years 5 months to 12 years 3 months). Questionnaires measured parenting styles (child version of Alabama Parenting Questionnaire), assessed children's ASC (Myself-As-Learner Scale) and identified children's behavioural problems with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). PROCESS analysis was used to perform the mediation analysis. The results revealed that positive and negative parenting composites are indirectly related to children's internalising behaviour problems. In addition, ASC partially mediated the relationship between the negative parenting composite and prosocial behaviour. However, the mediation analysis did not show the expected indirect effect of parenting styles on externalising problems as being mediated via ASC. Hence, we argue that the ASC serves as a significant mediator in the relationship between parenting styles with prosocial behaviour and internalising problems.
尽管养育方式对儿童发展的直接影响的重要性已得到充分确立，但较少有研究探讨养育方式是否也会通过儿童的学业自我概念（ASC）间接影响儿童的行为问题。我们研究了养育方式对199名库尔德小学生行为问题的直接和共同影响，这些儿童的平均年龄为11岁7个月（范围为11岁5个月至12岁3个月）。通过问卷测量养育方式（阿拉巴马养育问卷儿童版），评估儿童的ASC（自我作为学习者量表），并使用长处和困难问卷（SDQ）识别儿童的行为问题。采用PROCESS分析进行中介分析。结果显示，积极和消极养育综合得分与儿童的内化行为问题间接相关。此外，ASC部分中介了消极养育综合得分与亲社会行为之间的关系。然而，中介分析并未显示养育方式通过ASC对外化问题产生预期的间接影响。因此，我们认为ASC在养育方式与亲社会行为及内化问题之间的关系中起到了重要的中介作用。
