A model delineating the relationship between homemakers' role experiences and toddler behavior was developed, and tested using path analysis. We proposed that the relationship between homemakers' role experiences (skill use, perceived financial equity, homemaking satisfaction, and role overload) and toddler's internalizing and externalizing behaviors is mediated by maternal psychological well-being (positive mood, negative mood, and cognitive difficulties) and parenting behavior (positive, punishing, and rejecting). Using confirmatory path analysis, the proposed model fit the data [Q = .73, W(34) = 47.4; p > .05] obtained from a sample of 187 homemakers. The results suggest that, as for employed mothers, it is important to understand how homemakers experience their role, because those experiences indirectly predict children's behavior.
构建了一个描述家庭主妇角色体验与幼儿行为之间关系的模型，并使用路径分析进行了检验。我们提出，家庭主妇的角色体验（技能运用、感知到的经济公平、家务满意度和角色过载）与幼儿的内化和外化行为之间的关系是通过母亲的心理健康（积极情绪、消极情绪和认知困难）和育儿行为（积极、惩罚和拒绝）来介导的。使用验证性路径分析，所提出的模型与从187名家庭主妇样本中获得的数据拟合良好[Q =.73，W(34) = 47.4；p >.05]。结果表明，对于职业母亲来说，了解家庭主妇如何体验她们的角色很重要，因为这些体验会间接预测孩子的行为。
