We examined the relationships between mothers' sense of coherence (SOC) and their child's social skills development among preschool children, and how this relationship is mediated by mother's childrearing style.
Mothers of 1341 Japanese children, aged 4-5 years, completed a self-report questionnaire on their SOC and childrearing style. The children's teachers evaluated their social skills using the social skills scale (SSS), which comprises three factors: cooperation, self-control, and assertion.
Path analyses revealed that the mother's childrearing mediated the positive relationship between mother's SOC and the cooperation, self-control, and assertiveness aspects of children's social skills. Additionally, there was a significant direct path from mother's SOC to the self-control component of social skills.
These findings suggest that mother's SOC may directly as well as indirectly influence children's social skills development through the mediating effect of childrearing. The results offer preliminary evidence that focusing on support to improve mothers' SOC may be an efficient and effective strategy for improving children's social skills development.
我们研究了学龄前儿童母亲的连贯感（SOC）与其孩子社交技能发展之间的关系，以及这种关系如何通过母亲的育儿方式来调节。
1341名4至5岁日本儿童的母亲完成了一份关于她们的SOC和育儿方式的自我报告问卷。孩子们的老师使用社交技能量表（SSS）对他们的社交技能进行评估，该量表包括三个因素：合作、自我控制和自信。
路径分析显示，母亲的育儿方式调节了母亲的SOC与孩子社交技能的合作、自我控制和自信方面之间的正向关系。此外，从母亲的SOC到社交技能的自我控制成分存在一条显著的直接路径。
这些发现表明，母亲的SOC可能通过育儿的中介作用直接和间接地影响孩子的社交技能发展。研究结果提供了初步证据，即关注支持以提高母亲的SOC可能是改善孩子社交技能发展的一种有效策略。
