Parental behaviors are key in shaping children's psychological and behavioral development, crucial for early identification and prevention of mental health issues, reducing psychological trauma in childhood.
To investigate the relationship between parenting behaviors and behavioral and emotional issues in preschool children.
From October 2017 to May 2018, 7 kindergartens in Ma'anshan City were selected to conduct a parent self-filled questionnaire - Health Development Survey of Preschool Children. Children's Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (Parent Version) was applied to measures the children's behavioral and emotional performance. Parenting behavior was evaluated using the Parental Behavior Inventory. Binomial logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between the detection rate of preschool children's behavior and emotional problems and their parenting behaviors.
High level of parental support/participation was negatively correlated with conduct problems, abnormal hyperactivity, abnormal total difficulty scores and abnormal prosocial behavior problems. High level of maternal support/participation was negatively correlated with abnormal emotional symptoms and abnormal peer interaction in children. High level of parental hostility/coercion was positively correlated with abnormal emotional symptoms, abnormal conduct problems, abnormal hyperactivity, abnormal peer interaction, and abnormal total difficulty scores in children (all < 0.05). Moreover, paternal parenting behaviors had similarly effects on behavior and emotional problems of preschool children compared with maternal parenting behaviors (all > 0.05), after calculating ratio of odds ratio values.
Our study found that parenting behaviors are associated with behavioral and emotional issues in preschool children. Overall, the more supportive or involved the parents are, the fewer behavioral and emotional problems the children experience; conversely, the more hostile or controlling the parents are, the more behavioral and emotional problems the children face. Moreover, the impact of fathers' parenting behaviors on preschool children's behavior and emotions is no less significant than that of mothers' parenting behaviors.
父母行为在塑造儿童心理和行为发展方面起着关键作用，对于早期识别和预防心理健康问题、减少儿童期心理创伤至关重要。
探讨养育行为与学龄前儿童行为及情绪问题之间的关系。
2017年10月至2018年5月，选取马鞍山市7所幼儿园开展家长自填问卷——学龄前儿童健康发展调查。采用儿童长处与困难问卷（家长版）测量儿童的行为和情绪表现。使用父母行为量表评估养育行为。采用二项逻辑回归模型分析学龄前儿童行为和情绪问题检出率与其养育行为之间的关联。
高水平的父母支持/参与与品行问题、多动异常、总困难得分异常和亲社会行为问题异常呈负相关。高水平的母亲支持/参与与儿童情绪症状异常和同伴交往异常呈负相关。高水平的父母敌意/强制与儿童情绪症状异常、品行问题异常、多动异常、同伴交往异常和总困难得分异常呈正相关（均P<0.05）。此外，计算比值比的比值后发现，与母亲养育行为相比，父亲养育行为对学龄前儿童行为和情绪问题的影响相似（均P>0.05）。
本研究发现养育行为与学龄前儿童行为及情绪问题有关。总体而言，父母支持或参与越多，儿童经历的行为和情绪问题越少；相反，父母敌意或控制越多，儿童面临的行为和情绪问题就越多。此外，父亲养育行为对学龄前儿童行为和情绪的影响不亚于母亲养育行为。
