Harsh and unsupportive parenting is a risk factor for the development of disruptive behavior in children. However, little is known about how children's temperament and stress reactivity influence this relation. In a three-wave longitudinal study, we examined whether the associations between parenting practices (supportive parenting, positive discipline, and harsh discipline) and child disruptive behavior were mediated by child temperament (negative emotionality) and stress reactivity (heart rate reactivity). In 72 families (Mage child = 14.6 months), living in the Netherlands, parents reported on their parenting practices and their children's disruptive behavior and negative emotionality. Children's heart rate reactivity was assessed through a series of stress-inducing tasks. Results from regression-based mediation analyses with bootstrapping showed that negative emotionality and stress reactivity did not mediate the relation between parenting and disruptive behavior. The results overall demonstrate that in a group of children this age, a reinforcing dynamic between parenting, child stress and disruptive behavior is not yet firmly established.
严厉且缺乏支持的养育方式是儿童出现破坏性行为的一个风险因素。然而，关于儿童的气质和应激反应如何影响这种关系，我们知之甚少。在一项三波纵向研究中，我们考察了养育方式（支持性养育、积极管教和严厉管教）与儿童破坏性行为之间的关联是否由儿童气质（消极情绪性）和应激反应（心率反应性）介导。在荷兰的72个家庭（儿童平均年龄为14.6个月）中，父母报告了他们的养育方式、孩子的破坏性行为和消极情绪性。通过一系列诱发压力的任务评估了儿童的心率反应性。基于回归的中介分析和自抽样法的结果表明，消极情绪性和应激反应并没有介导养育方式与破坏性行为之间的关系。总体结果表明，在这个年龄段的一组儿童中，养育方式、儿童压力和破坏性行为之间的强化动态关系尚未牢固确立。
