This study examined the parenting and family life correlates of childhood hyperactivity in a community sample of London school children. Twenty-eight boys with pervasive hyperactivity were compared to 30 classroom control children on a range of parenting and family functioning measures. Results showed that poor parent coping and the use of aggressive discipline methods were significantly associated with hyperactivity after adjusting for the effects of conduct disorder and parent mental health. The best parenting predictor of hyperactivity was disciplinary aggression. Findings suggest that the quality of parenting provided for hyperactive children may contribute to their behavioural difficulties, and highlights the need to examine more closely the role of parenting attitudes and behaviour in shaping the course, prognosis, and treatment outcomes for children with hyperactivity.
本研究在伦敦学童的社区样本中，考察了童年期多动与养育方式及家庭生活的相关性。将28名患有广泛性多动的男孩与30名课堂对照儿童在一系列养育方式和家庭功能指标上进行了比较。结果显示，在对品行障碍和父母心理健康的影响进行调整后，父母应对能力差以及使用攻击性管教方法与多动显著相关。多动的最佳养育预测因素是管教攻击行为。研究结果表明，为多动儿童提供的养育质量可能导致他们的行为困难，并凸显出需要更密切地审视养育态度和行为在塑造多动儿童的病程、预后和治疗结果中所起的作用。
