The current study examines the relationship between working-class mothers' and fathers' job autonomy across the 1st year of parenthood and their children's behavior problems and adaptive skills in the 1st grade. Data came from a longitudinal study of 120 couples interviewed 5 times across the transition to parenthood and again when the target child entered the 1st grade. Mothers' job autonomy and fathers' work hours during the child's 1st year of life directly predicted fewer behavior problems and more adaptive skills in their children at 6-7 years of age. For all parents a mediated relationship emerged such that greater job autonomy predicted less parenting overreactivity, which in turn predicted better child outcomes. Parent involvement was also a significant mediator linking job autonomy to children's adaptive skills but not behavior problems. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
本研究考察了 120 对夫妇在孩子出生第一年中经历的转变过程中接受了 5 次访谈,之后当目标儿童进入一年级时又进行了再次访谈。本研究的数据来源于这一纵向研究,考察了工人阶级父母双方在孩子出生第一年的工作自主性与其子女在一年级时的行为问题和适应技能之间的关系。结果发现,母亲的工作自主性和父亲在孩子生命的第一年的工作时间直接预测了 6-7 岁儿童较少的行为问题和更多的适应技能。对于所有父母来说,都存在一种中介关系,即较高的工作自主性预测了较少的育儿过度反应,而育儿过度反应又预测了更好的儿童结果。父母参与也是将工作自主性与儿童适应技能联系起来的一个重要中介因素,但与儿童行为问题无关。(PsycInfo 数据库记录(c)2020 APA,保留所有权利)。
