(1) Background: This study aims to explore children's social information processing (SIP) as an explanatory mechanism in the link between parent-child relationship and children's learning difficulties in kindergarten; (2) Methods: The sample included 115 kindergarteners (62 girls; 53 boys; Mage = 68.5 months, SD = 6.04), their parents and the school teacher. Parents reported on relationship quality with the child and teachers reported on children's learning difficulties and school achievements. Children's SIP was assessed with the social information processing interview-preschool version (3) Results: Mother and father relationship quality with the child associated with children's SIP; however, only the father's but not the mother's quality of relationship with the child was associated with children's learning difficulties and school achievements. Children's SIP mediated this latter link; (4) Conclusions: Parents' relationship quality with the child and children's SIP are pertinent factors in children's learning in the early years. The father-child relationship seems to be a strong determinant of a child's approach to learning and achievement and may have long lasting effects on children's mental health.
(1) 背景：本研究旨在探讨儿童社会信息处理（SIP）作为亲子关系与儿童在幼儿园学习困难之间联系的解释机制；(2) 方法：样本包括 115 名幼儿园儿童（62 名女孩；53 名男孩；平均年龄=68.5 个月，标准差=6.04）、他们的父母和学校教师。父母报告了与孩子的关系质量，教师报告了孩子的学习困难和学校成绩。儿童的 SIP 通过社会信息处理访谈-学前版进行评估；(3) 结果：父母与孩子的关系质量与儿童的 SIP 相关；然而，只有父亲而不是母亲与孩子的关系质量与儿童的学习困难和学校成绩相关。儿童的 SIP 中介了后一种联系；(4) 结论：父母与孩子的关系质量和儿童的 SIP 是儿童早期学习的重要因素。父子关系似乎是儿童学习和成就的重要决定因素，并可能对儿童的心理健康产生持久影响。
