Parenting styles are considered as one of the main determinants of individual and social behaviors and the use of dysfunctional styles can create child behavioral problems. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between mother-child relationship patterns in mother-headed households and children's behavioral problems.
This is a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study that was performed on 345 mother-headed households under the coverage of the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee in Shiraz, Iran. Mothers were selected by convenience sampling method and data were collected using several questionnaires including the mother-child relationship evaluation, the child behavior checklist, and social support appraisals scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 21.
The overprotective parenting style, as one of the inefficient models has been used more than others by mother-headed households as well as the mothers with higher education levels used less from the child-rearing style " excessive ease ", and benefited more from the support of friends and others. In addition, children of divorced and low-income mothers are more prone to externalizing behavioral problems. The final result was also determined two parenting styles "excessive ease and overprotection" are effective on children's total behavioral problems.
The findings highlight the need to plan and expand socio-economic and educational support services to improve living conditions and parenting skills in mother-headed households. Further research is also suggested to identify the determinants and types of interventions affecting mother-child relationships, children's behavioral problems, and finally quality of life among this low-income and vulnerable group.
养育方式被认为是个体和社会行为的主要决定因素之一，使用功能失调的养育方式会导致儿童行为问题。本研究旨在确定单亲家庭中母子关系模式与儿童行为问题之间的关系。
这是一项描述性分析性的横断面研究，在伊朗设拉子的伊玛目霍梅尼救济委员会的覆盖范围内，对 345 个单亲家庭进行了研究。母亲采用便利抽样法选择，使用包括母子关系评估、儿童行为检查表和社会支持评估量表在内的多个问卷收集数据。使用 SPSS 软件版本 21 对数据进行分析。
过度保护的养育方式是低效模式之一，单亲家庭比其他家庭更常使用这种模式，而教育程度较高的母亲较少使用“过度宽松”的育儿方式，并更多地受益于朋友和他人的支持。此外，离异和低收入母亲的孩子更容易出现外化行为问题。最终结果还确定了两种养育方式“过度宽松和过度保护”对儿童总行为问题有影响。
研究结果强调需要规划和扩大社会经济和教育支持服务，以改善单亲家庭的生活条件和育儿技能。还建议进一步研究，以确定影响母子关系、儿童行为问题以及最终该低收入和弱势群体生活质量的决定因素和干预类型。
