The present study was designed to examine the direct and indirect contributions of parenting daily hassles and approaches to children's externalizing and internalizing behavior problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample for this study was 338 preschool children (53.6% girls, = 56.33 months, = 15.14) and their parents in Turkey. Parents reported their daily hassles, parenting approaches, and children's behavior problems. Findings from the structural equation model showed that higher levels of parenting daily hassles predicted higher levels of externalizing and internalizing behavior problems. In addition, we found an indirect effect of daily hassles on children's internalizing behaviors via positive parenting. Further, there was an indirect path from parenting daily hassles to children's externalizing behaviors through the negative parenting approach. Results are discussed in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
本研究旨在探讨在新冠疫情期间，育儿日常困扰及育儿方式对儿童外化和内化行为问题的直接和间接影响。本研究的样本为土耳其的338名学龄前儿童（53.6%为女孩，平均年龄 = 56.33个月，标准差 = 15.14）及其父母。父母报告了他们的日常困扰、育儿方式以及孩子的行为问题。结构方程模型的结果表明，育儿日常困扰程度越高，外化和内化行为问题的水平越高。此外，我们发现日常困扰通过积极育儿方式对儿童内化行为产生间接影响。此外，育儿日常困扰通过消极育儿方式对儿童外化行为存在一条间接路径。研究结果将在新冠疫情的背景下进行讨论。
