The mediating role of mothers' child-centered perspectives was examined in a longitudinal study of 323 children. The conceptual model of parenting was tested to determine whether maternal perspectives mediated the relations between the parenting resources of social support, child-rearing history, and self-esteem and the child's developmental level with parenting behavior. This conceptual model was compared to alternative models using structural equation modeling. Results indicate that mothers' perspectives directly related to parenting behavior in two different contexts as well as mediated the relations between maternal resources and behavior. Maternal self-esteem also mediated the relation between social support and child-rearing history with child-centered perspectives. Results support the importance of examining child-centered perspectives as an influence on parental competence as well as the importance of examining how parenting resources interrelate with one another to impact parenting behavior.
在一项对323名儿童的纵向研究中，考察了母亲以孩子为中心的观点的中介作用。对育儿概念模型进行了测试，以确定母亲的观点是否在社会支持、育儿历史、自尊等育儿资源与育儿行为所体现的孩子发展水平之间的关系中起中介作用。使用结构方程模型将这一概念模型与其他替代模型进行了比较。结果表明，母亲的观点在两种不同情境下都与育儿行为直接相关，并且在母亲资源与行为之间的关系中起中介作用。母亲的自尊也在社会支持与育儿历史之间的关系中，以孩子为中心的观点起中介作用。结果支持了考察以孩子为中心的观点对父母能力的影响的重要性，以及考察育儿资源如何相互关联以影响育儿行为的重要性。
