Negative parental attributions are related to parent and family stressors and are thought to be important predictors of subsequent disciplinary actions and, potentially, abusive parenting. We examined if negative parental attributions mediate the relation between daily stressors (i.e., low SES, parenting stress, partner-related stress) parents' own history of child maltreatment, and harsh and abusive parenting. Mothers (n=53) completed a computerized attribution task and reported on daily stressors, their own history of child maltreatment and their discipline strategies. Mothers' negative parental attributions mediated the association between parenting stress (but not the other stressors) and harsh and abusive discipline. These finding implicate that interventions to decrease (the risk of) child abuse should not only focus on reducing abuse-related stressors, but also target negative parental attributions.
消极的父母归因与父母和家庭压力因素有关,被认为是后续纪律处分的重要预测因素,可能也是虐待性养育的预测因素。我们研究了消极的父母归因是否在每日压力源(即低社会经济地位、育儿压力、与伴侣相关的压力)、父母自身的儿童虐待史与严厉和虐待性养育之间的关系中起中介作用。母亲(n=53)完成了一项电脑归因任务,并报告了每日压力源、自身的儿童虐待史和纪律策略。育儿压力(而非其他压力源)与严厉和虐待性纪律之间的关联受到母亲消极的父母归因的中介影响。这些发现表明,减少(儿童虐待的)风险的干预措施不仅应侧重于减少与虐待相关的压力源,还应针对消极的父母归因。
