Little is known regarding the dynamic interactions between fathers and mothers in families of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during the parenting process. This study used an actor-partner interdependence mediation (APIMeM) model to investigate the intrapersonal and interpersonal effects of emotion dysregulation and parenting stress on parenting behaviors among 211 pairs (total N = 422) of Chinese parents of children with ASD. The results indicated that for both fathers and mothers, there were significant indirect actor effects of parental emotion dysregulation on parents' own parenting behaviors through their own parenting stress. However, no significant direct or indirect partner effect was found in the analyses. These findings suggest that the emotional parenting dynamics occurred on the individual rather than the dyadic level in these families.
对于自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童家庭中父母在育儿过程中的动态相互作用,人们知之甚少。本研究采用演员-伙伴相互依存中介模型(APIMeM),调查了情绪调节障碍和育儿压力对 211 对(总 N=422)中国 ASD 儿童父母育儿行为的个体和人际影响。结果表明,对于父亲和母亲来说,父母的情绪调节障碍对其自身的育儿压力通过其自身的育儿压力对父母自身的育儿行为存在显著的间接演员效应。然而,在分析中没有发现显著的直接或间接伙伴效应。这些发现表明,在这些家庭中,情感育儿动态发生在个体层面,而不是对偶层面。
