Childhood adaptation is essential for proper social-emotional development. Children growing up in a family context where they feel supported and protected are less vulnerable in the presence of psychopathology. The aim of this study is analysing the impact of parenting styles and the anxious-depressive symptoms on child adaptation.
A total of 367 children between the ages of 10 and 12, following a similar distribution by sex. The children completed self-reports assessing parenting styles, child adaptation, and depressive-anxiety symptomatology.
The data were analysed using two complementary methodologies: linear regressions and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA).
Both methodologies indicated that the main predictors explaining child adaptation were depression and an authoritative parenting style. The fsQCA models explained a greater amount of variance and included more variables in their prediction than the regression models.
Identifying family and emotional aspects when working with children may help professionals to improve childhood adaptation. Consequently, well-adapted children are less likely to suffer the negative consequences of emotional symptoms in later evolutionary stages.
儿童适应能力对于其社会情感发展至关重要。在成长过程中感到被支持和保护的儿童，在出现心理病理问题时，其脆弱性较低。本研究旨在分析教养方式和焦虑抑郁症状对儿童适应能力的影响。
共有 367 名年龄在 10 至 12 岁之间的儿童，按照性别进行了类似的分配。这些儿童完成了自我报告评估，包括教养方式、儿童适应能力和抑郁焦虑症状。
采用两种互补的方法进行数据分析：线性回归和模糊集定性比较分析（fsQCA）。
这两种方法都表明，解释儿童适应能力的主要预测因素是抑郁和权威型教养方式。fsQCA 模型在预测中解释了更多的方差，并纳入了更多的变量。
在与儿童合作时，确定家庭和情感方面的问题可能有助于专业人员改善儿童适应能力。因此，适应良好的儿童在以后的发展阶段更不容易受到情绪症状的负面影响。
