This study examined the relative contribution of mothers' self-construal to parenting above and beyond family socioeconomic status (SES) and maternal efficacy beliefs about parenting. A total of 58 Turkish mothers and their preschool-aged children participated in dyadic tasks in the laboratory setting. For the measurement of parenting, direct behavioral observations of mother-child interactions in three interaction contexts were utilized, and mother ratings of emotion socialization were obtained. Mothers also reported on their parenting efficacy, self-construal, child temperament, and family demographics. Results revealed a more balanced endorsement of autonomous and relational self-characteristics as well as more sensitive parenting among higher SES mothers. Furthermore, mothers' self-construal contributed unique variance to the prediction of sensitive parenting over and above SES, maternal efficacy and child temperament. Yet, in the prediction of negatively controlling parenting, mothers' self-construal did not account for unique variance. Lower parenting efficacy and lower SES were the only predictors of punishing, overriding, and distress magnifying responses. Finally, results indicated a marginally significant indirect effect from SES to sensitive parenting via autonomous-related self-construal, controlling for the indirect effect of maternal efficacy.
本研究考察了母亲的自我构念在家庭社会经济地位（SES）和母亲对育儿的效能信念之外，对育儿的相对贡献。共有58位土耳其母亲及其学龄前儿童参与了实验室环境中的二元任务。对于育儿的测量，采用了在三种互动情境中对母婴互动进行直接行为观察的方法，并获得了母亲对情感社会化的评分。母亲们还报告了她们的育儿效能、自我构念、孩子的气质和家庭人口统计学信息。结果显示，社会经济地位较高的母亲对自主和关系自我特征的认同更为平衡，育儿也更为敏感。此外，母亲的自我构念在预测敏感育儿方面，除了社会经济地位、母亲效能和孩子气质之外，还贡献了独特的变异。然而，在预测消极控制型育儿方面，母亲的自我构念并未解释独特的变异。较低的育儿效能和较低的社会经济地位是惩罚、压制和放大痛苦反应的唯一预测因素。最后，结果表明，在控制了母亲效能的间接效应后，社会经济地位通过与自主相关的自我构念对敏感育儿产生了边缘显著的间接效应。
