This study examined how adverse parenting practices mediate the relationship between child temperament and later externalizing problems, and whether the teacher-child relationship moderates these associations. Data on child temperament, parenting practices, child externalizing problems (parent-reported), and teacher-child relationship (teacher-reported) were collected over three years (mean ages 8.40 to 11.29) among 434 children (44.7% girls) with early-onset externalizing problems. Results from structural equation modeling revealed that parental hostility mediated associations between temperamental factors (high negative affectivity, low effortful control) and later externalizing problems, controlling for demographics and baseline externalizing problems. These indirect associations were specific to children with low to average levels of closeness with teachers. Inconsistent parental discipline also mediated the association between low effortful control and greater externalizing problems but only at high levels of teacher-child closeness. Results suggest that teacher-child closeness could alter the risks associated with specific parenting practices in the development of externalizing problems during childhood.
本研究考察了不良养育方式如何介导儿童气质与后期外化问题之间的关系，以及师生关系是否调节这些关联。在三年时间里（平均年龄8.40至11.29岁），对434名有早期外化问题的儿童（44.7%为女孩）收集了有关儿童气质、养育方式、儿童外化问题（家长报告）和师生关系（教师报告）的数据。结构方程模型的结果显示，在控制人口统计学因素和基线外化问题后，父母敌意介导了气质因素（高消极情绪性、低努力控制）与后期外化问题之间的关联。这些间接关联特定于与教师亲密程度低至中等的儿童。不一致的父母管教也介导了低努力控制与更大外化问题之间的关联，但仅在师生亲密程度高时如此。结果表明，师生亲密程度可能会改变童年期外化问题发展过程中与特定养育方式相关的风险。
