Determinants of parenting are most often considered using one child per family within a cross-sectional design. In 182 families, the current study included two siblings and sought to predict maternal harsh parenting measured prospectively when each child was age 2 years from child gender, infant temperament, maternal age, maternal educational attainment, maternal depression and anxiety and maternal perceptions of partner support. Multilevel modeling was used to examine between- and within-family variance simultaneously. Mothers reported levels of harsh parenting that were similar towards both children (intraclass correlation = 0.69). Thus, the majority of variance in maternal perceptions of their harsh parenting resided between rather than within families and was accounted for in part by maternal age and maternal perceptions of partner support. Results are discussed in relation to family-wide determinants of harsh parenting, previous literature pertaining to parenting siblings and the potential avenues for future research and practice.
育儿的决定因素通常是在横断面设计中，对每个家庭中的一个孩子进行考量。在182个家庭中，本研究纳入了两个兄弟姐妹，并试图根据孩子的性别、婴儿气质、母亲年龄、母亲教育程度、母亲抑郁和焦虑以及母亲对伴侣支持的感知，前瞻性地预测每个孩子2岁时母亲的严厉育儿方式。采用多层次模型同时检验家庭间和家庭内的差异。母亲报告对两个孩子的严厉育儿程度相似（组内相关系数=0.69）。因此，母亲对其严厉育儿方式的感知差异大部分存在于家庭之间而非家庭内部，部分原因是母亲年龄和母亲对伴侣支持的感知。本文将结合严厉育儿的全家庭决定因素、以往关于养育兄弟姐妹的文献以及未来研究和实践的潜在途径来讨论研究结果。
