The present study aimed at exploring the relationship between parenting stress and children's problematic behaviour in the families of 99 children aged 8-11 years. Parenting stress was assessed by parents, using the Parenting Stress Index, and children's problematic behaviour was assessed by teachers, using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. A moderation regression analysis showed a conditioning effect of paternal parenting stress in the relationship between maternal parenting stress and children's problematic behaviour. In the presence of high levels of paternal parenting stress, the relationship between maternal parenting stress and children's problematic behaviour was significant and strong (p = .01). When paternal parenting stress levels were low, the relationship between maternal parenting stress and children's problematic behaviour was not significant (p = .49). The results underlined that paternal parenting stress may buffer the relationship between maternal parenting stress and children's problematic behaviour. Clinical implications are discussed.
本研究旨在探讨 99 名 8-11 岁儿童家庭中父母压力与儿童问题行为之间的关系。父母使用父母压力指数评估父母压力，教师使用长处和困难问卷评估儿童问题行为。调节回归分析显示，父亲的父母压力在母亲的父母压力与儿童问题行为之间的关系中具有调节作用。在父亲的父母压力水平较高的情况下，母亲的父母压力与儿童问题行为之间的关系显著且强烈（p=.01）。当父亲的父母压力水平较低时，母亲的父母压力与儿童问题行为之间的关系不显著（p=.49）。研究结果表明，父亲的父母压力可能缓冲了母亲的父母压力与儿童问题行为之间的关系。讨论了临床意义。
