Parent Training (PT) is not as effective for parents with histories of internalizing symptoms as it is for other parents. This study aimed to determine which dimensions of parenting, notably parenting efficacy, positive parenting, inconsistent discipline, and poor supervision, mediate the association between parent lifetime internalizing symptoms and post-PT child emotional and behavioral difficulties. One hundred fourteen parents (82% biological mothers) of children aged 9-12 years received PT at an urban children's mental health clinic. Parents reported their lifetime internalizing symptoms, pre- and post- PT parenting skills, and pre- and post- PT child difficulties. Positive parenting fully mediated the relation between parent lifetime internalizing symptoms and elevated child post-PT emotional and behavioral difficulties. Specifically, parents higher in internalizing symptoms reported lower positive parenting post-PT, which in turn predicted more child difficulties post-PT. Findings suggest that fostering positive parenting in PT may be particularly important for parents with histories of internalizing symptoms.
家长培训 (PT) 对于有内化症状史的父母不如其他父母有效。本研究旨在确定哪些育儿维度，特别是育儿效能感、积极育儿、不一致的纪律和监督不力，在父母的终身内化症状与 PT 后儿童情绪和行为困难之间起中介作用。114 名 9-12 岁儿童的父母（82%为亲生母亲）在一家城市儿童心理健康诊所接受了 PT。父母报告了他们的终身内化症状、PT 前后的育儿技能以及 PT 前后的儿童困难。积极育儿完全中介了父母终身内化症状与儿童 PT 后情绪和行为困难之间的关系。具体来说，内化症状较高的父母报告 PT 后积极育儿较低，这反过来又预示着儿童 PT 后困难更多。研究结果表明，在 PT 中培养积极育儿对于有内化症状史的父母可能尤为重要。
