Abstract

Objective: This study examines the relationship between maternal psychological aggression (PA) and preschoolers' problem behaviors (PB), focusing on the mediating roles of psychological resilience (PR) and self-control (SC), and gender differences.

Methods: Mothers of 1141 preschoolers (52.9% boys, 47.1% girls; M_age = 4.26, SD = 0.85) participated in three waves of a longitudinal survey, each two months apart. Mothers participating in this study reported basic demographic information and PA at T1. PR and SC were reported at T2. PB of preschoolers was reported at T3. Path analysis models were employed to ascertain the relationship between PA and PB, as well as the mediating roles of PR and SC. Multiple group analyses were employed to ascertain the moderating role of gender.

Results: Maternal PA (T1) was positively associated with preschoolers' PB (T3) (β=0.220, p<0.001). PR (T2) and SC (T2) independently and sequentially mediated the relationship between maternal PA (T1) and preschoolers' PB (T3). Maternal PA (T1) was negatively associated with preschoolers' PR (T2) only in boys (β =-0.155, p<0.001), not in girls (β =-0.030, p>0.05).

Conclusion: This study reveals the impact and underlying mechanisms of maternal PA on preschoolers' PB and highlights gender differences. These findings underscore the importance of protective factors in fostering positive adaptive behaviors in children subjected to maternal PA. Interventions should focus on preventing maternal PA and enhancing children's PR and SC, particularly in boys, to promote healthy and positive behaviors.

学龄前儿童母亲心理攻击、问题行为及其心理弹性和自我控制的中介作用

目的：探讨母亲心理攻击（PA）与学龄前儿童问题行为（PB）的关系，重点研究心理弹性（PR）和自我控制（SC）以及性别差异的中介作用。方法：1141名学龄前儿童母亲(男孩52.9%，女孩47.1%；Mage = 4.26, SD = 0.85)参加了三波纵向调查，每波间隔两个月。参与本研究的母亲报告了T1时的基本人口统计信息和PA。T2报告PR和SC。在T3报告了学龄前儿童的PB。采用通径分析模型确定PA与PB之间的关系以及PR和SC的中介作用，采用多组分析确定性别的调节作用。结果：母亲PA （T1）与幼儿PB （T3）呈正相关（β=0.220, pβ =-0.155, pβ =-0.030, p>0.05）。结论：本研究揭示了母亲PA对学龄前儿童PB的影响及其潜在机制，并突出了性别差异。这些发现强调了保护因素在培养受母亲PA影响的儿童的积极适应行为中的重要性。干预措施应侧重于预防产妇PA和加强儿童PR和SC，特别是男孩，以促进健康和积极的行为。
