Abstract

Background: Children's self-care ability (SCA) is a very important part of early development and school readiness. Previous studies have shown that parenting style is essential factor that influence young children's SCA. However, much less is known about the association between different types of parenting styles and children's SCA, let alone the moderating role of executive function (EF).

Methods: This study used measures such as parenting style, EF and SCA to survey children (N = 482) aged 3-7 years old and their parents.

Results: The results indicated that democratic parenting style was positively correlated with children's SCA, while other parenting styles were negatively correlated with children's SCA. Moreover, with the exception of inconsistent parenting style and authoritarian parenting style, the predictive effect of parenting styles on young children's SCA is moderated by young children's EF: Democratic parenting styles and children's SCA were significantly and positively correlated when children's EF was high rather than low; coddling and permissive parenting styles and children's SCA were significantly and negatively correlated when children's EF was high rather than low.

Conclusions: These findings suggest that democratic parenting styles are effective in promoting the development of SCA in children with high EF.

教养方式与儿童的自理能力：执行功能的调节作用。

背景：儿童的自理能力（SCA）是儿童早期发展和入学准备中非常重要的一部分。以往的研究表明，养育方式是影响幼儿自理能力的重要因素。然而，人们对不同类型的养育方式与儿童自理能力之间的关系知之甚少，更不用说执行功能（EF）的调节作用了：本研究采用养育方式、执行功能和SCA等测量方法，对3-7岁的儿童（482人）及其父母进行了调查：结果表明，民主型教养方式与儿童的 SCA 呈正相关，而其他教养方式与儿童的 SCA 呈负相关。此外，除不一致的教养方式和专制的教养方式外，其他教养方式对幼儿 SCA 的预测作用受到幼儿 EF 的调节：当儿童的 EF 值高而不是低时，民主型教养方式与儿童的 SCA 呈显著正相关；当儿童的 EF 值高而不是低时，溺爱型和放任型教养方式与儿童的 SCA 呈显著负相关：这些研究结果表明，民主型教养方式能有效促进高EF儿童SCA的发展。

期刊介绍： Child: care, health and development is an international, peer-reviewed journal which publishes papers dealing with all aspects of the health and development of children and young people. We aim to attract quantitative and qualitative research papers relevant to people from all disciplines working in child health. We welcome studies which examine the effects of social and environmental factors on health and development as well as those dealing with clinical issues, the organization of services and health policy. We particularly encourage the submission of studies related to those who are disadvantaged by physical, developmental, emotional and social problems. The journal also aims to collate important research findings and to provide a forum for discussion of global child health issues.
