This article examined two-wave longitudinal paths among maternal self-efficacy, maternal warmth, and early adolescents' prosocial behavior.
Participants were 194 Italian mother/child dyads from 9-13 years at the first assessment and 12-15 years at the second assessment. Using a two-wave longitudinal design, the present study tested cross-lagged paths among maternal self-efficacy, warmth, and early adolescents' prosocial behavior controlling for the stability of these variables and their concurrent associations.
Maternal warmth mediated the link between maternal self-efficacy and adolescents' prosocial behavior, and bi-directional effects between maternal self-efficacy and maternal warmth were found.
These findings support a parent-driven model in the promotion of prosocial behaviors across early adolescence and a general need to consider simultaneously parental cognitions (maternal self-efficacy) and actions (maternal warmth) in explaining adolescents' prosocial behaviors. Implications for parenting program interventions are discussed.
本文研究了母亲自我效能感、母亲温情与青少年早期亲社会行为之间的两波纵向路径。
参与者为194对意大利母子二元组,首次评估时孩子年龄在9至13岁之间,第二次评估时在12至15岁之间。本研究采用两波纵向设计,检验了母亲自我效能感、温情与青少年早期亲社会行为之间的交叉滞后路径,同时控制了这些变量的稳定性及其并发关联。
母亲温情介导了母亲自我效能感与青少年亲社会行为之间的联系,并且发现母亲自我效能感与母亲温情之间存在双向效应。
这些发现支持了一个由父母驱动的模型,即在整个青少年早期促进亲社会行为,以及在解释青少年亲社会行为时普遍需要同时考虑父母的认知(母亲自我效能感)和行为(母亲温情)。文中讨论了对育儿项目干预的启示。
