To examine the relationship between grandparenting styles and grandchildren's emotions and behaviors, while controlling for parenting styles, and to compare the effects of grandparenting styles and parenting styles on children's behavioral problems in China.
A sample of 765 children, with a mean age of 12.02 years (SD = 0.38), participated in this cross-sectional study in Jintan city, Jiangsu province, China. All participants completed the self-report measures of emotions and behaviors, grandparenting styles, and sociodemographic variables.
Results showed that the well-recognized parenting styles (Care, Indifference, Overprotection, and Autonomy), when implemented by grandparents (grandparenting styles) and parents (parenting styles), had different patterns of effects on children's emotional and behavioral problems. Grandparenting styles, especially grandparental Care and Overprotection, were positively related to emotional and behavioral problems, while parental Care was negatively related to children's externalizing behaviors.
These results highlight the importance of grandparenting styles in grandchildren's development. Practitioners working with grandparents and grandchildren need to recognize the complexity of grandparent-grandchild relationships and implement suitable interventions to meet the family needs.
在控制父母教养方式的同时，研究祖父母教养方式与孙辈情绪和行为之间的关系，并比较在中国祖父母教养方式和父母教养方式对儿童行为问题的影响。
在中国江苏省金坛市进行的这项横断面研究中，抽取了765名儿童作为样本，他们的平均年龄为12.02岁（标准差=0.38）。所有参与者都完成了关于情绪和行为、祖父母教养方式以及社会人口学变量的自我报告测量。
结果显示，公认的父母教养方式（关爱、冷漠、过度保护和自主），由祖父母（祖父母教养方式）和父母（父母教养方式）实施时，对儿童的情绪和行为问题有不同的影响模式。祖父母教养方式，尤其是祖父母的关爱和过度保护，与情绪和行为问题呈正相关，而父母的关爱与儿童的外化行为呈负相关。
这些结果凸显了祖父母教养方式在孙辈发展中的重要性。与祖父母和孙辈打交道的从业者需要认识到祖孙关系的复杂性，并实施合适的干预措施以满足家庭需求。
