Parenting differs in purpose and strategy according to cultural background (Brooks-Gunn & Markman, 2005; Iruka, LaForett, & Odom, 2012). The current study tests a unique latent factor score, Adaptive Parenting, that represents culturally-relevant, positive parenting behaviors: maternal coping with stress through reframing, maternal scaffolding of toddlers' learning during a low-stress task, and maternal commands during a high-stress task. Participants were Black mothers (N = 119; M = 27.78) and their 24- to 30-month-old toddlers. Families were part of a broader study examining family resilience among urban, low-income young children and their families. Results demonstrate that the proposed variables align on a single factor and positively predict toddlers' emotion regulation. Findings are discussed in the context of Black culturally-specific parenting processes.
根据文化背景的不同，育儿的目的和策略也会有所不同（Brooks-Gunn & Markman, 2005; Iruka, LaForett, & Odom, 2012）。本研究测试了一个独特的潜在因素得分，即适应性育儿，它代表了与文化相关的积极育儿行为：母亲通过重新构建来应对压力，母亲在低压力任务中为幼儿提供学习支架，以及母亲在高压力任务中发号施令。参与者为黑人母亲（N=119；M=27.78）及其 24 至 30 个月大的幼儿。这些家庭是一项更广泛研究的一部分，该研究旨在考察城市低收入幼儿及其家庭的家庭适应力。结果表明，所提出的变量在单个因素上是一致的，并积极预测幼儿的情绪调节。研究结果在黑人文化特定育儿过程的背景下进行了讨论。
