The extent to which students' level of depressive and anxiety symptoms and student engagement were predicted by parental emotional support, monitoring and harsh parenting was investigated using a series of multiple regression analyses. Grade six students from public primary schools ( = 293; 49% females, 51% males; mean age = 10 years) in Barbados completed the Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale, a Parenting Questionnaire and an adapted Student Engagement scale. Students' level of depressive symptoms were predicted by parental emotional support and harsh parenting, but not by parental monitoring. With the exception of harsh parenting, neither parental emotional support nor parental monitoring were significant predictors of the anxiety levels of students. Student engagement was predicted by all three types of parenting practices. Limitations, recommendations for future research and practical implications of the study are discussed.
采用一系列多元回归分析，考察了父母情感支持、监督和严厉教养对学生抑郁和焦虑症状水平以及学生参与度的影响程度。巴巴多斯公立小学六年级学生（ = 293；49%为女生，51%为男生；平均年龄为 10 岁）完成了修订后的儿童焦虑和抑郁量表、父母教养问卷和改编后的学生参与度量表。学生的抑郁症状水平受父母情感支持和严厉教养的影响，但不受父母监督的影响。除了严厉教养，父母情感支持和父母监督都不是学生焦虑水平的显著预测因素。学生的参与度受到三种教养方式的共同预测。讨论了研究的局限性、对未来研究的建议以及对实践的影响。
