The analysis of the mental health in children under 14 years has become a research topic of global interest where the family can be a key factor for protection or risk against mental health problems. With this work, we intend to determine, employing binary logistic regression analysis, whether parental acceptance-rejection perceived by boys and girls can predict their mental health. Seven hundred sixty-two students participated, the average age was 12.23 years; 53.8% (n = 410) girls and 46.2% (n = 352) boys. We have used the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), self-reported version and the Affection Scale children version (EA-H) for parental acceptance-rejection to assess mental health. The odds ratio (OR) of the logistic models reports that there is a greater probability of having mental health problems in boys and girls when they perceive that they are highly criticized and rejected by their parents. With our work, we highlight the importance of the environment and family affection on mental health. The perception of the children about the rejection, aversion, and criticism of their parents constitutes a risk factor in the manifestation of mental health problems.
对 14 岁以下儿童心理健康的分析已成为全球关注的研究课题，家庭可能是保护或引发心理健康问题的关键因素。在这项工作中，我们旨在通过二元逻辑回归分析来确定，男孩和女孩感知到的父母接纳-拒绝是否可以预测他们的心理健康。共有 762 名学生参与，平均年龄为 12.23 岁；53.8%（n=410）为女孩，46.2%（n=352）为男孩。我们使用了《长处和困难问卷》（SDQ）、自我报告版和《儿童情感量表》（EA-H）来评估父母的接纳-拒绝与心理健康。逻辑模型的优势比（OR）报告说，当男孩和女孩感觉到他们受到父母的高度批评和拒绝时，他们更有可能出现心理健康问题。通过我们的工作，我们强调了环境和家庭情感对心理健康的重要性。儿童对父母的拒绝、厌恶和批评的感知构成了心理健康问题表现的一个风险因素。
