This study evaluated the relationship between parental autonomy support and preschool-aged children's display of autonomy. Specifically, we examined if mothers' and fathers' use of positive guidance, negative control, and responsiveness during parent-child interactions predicted children's autonomous behavior. One hundred families comprised of mothers, fathers, and their children participated. Parent-child dyads were filmed engaging in an unstructured play task and interactions were coded using the Mothers' use of negative control and father's use of positive guidance, negative control, and responsiveness predicted children's displays of autonomy, whereas mothers' positive guidance and responsiveness did not. The results offer insight into how parents play unique roles in promoting their children's autonomy, which has implications for practitioners and researchers who work with families. Our findings provide examples of behaviors that parents can employ to promote their children's autonomy.
这项研究评估了父母自主性支持与学龄前儿童自主性表现之间的关系。具体来说，我们考察了母亲和父亲在亲子互动中使用积极引导、消极控制和反应性是否可以预测儿童的自主行为。100 个家庭由母亲、父亲和他们的孩子组成，参与了研究。在无结构的游戏任务中，拍摄了父母-孩子的互动，使用互动编码系统（Mothers' use of negative control and father's use of positive guidance, negative control, and responsiveness predicted children's displays of autonomy, whereas mothers' positive guidance and responsiveness did not）对互动进行了编码，结果表明，母亲的消极控制和父亲的积极引导、消极控制和反应性可以预测儿童的自主性表现，而母亲的积极引导和反应性则不能。研究结果提供了一些关于父母如何在促进孩子自主性方面发挥独特作用的见解，这对与家庭合作的从业者和研究人员具有重要意义。我们的研究结果提供了一些父母可以采用的促进孩子自主性的行为示例。
