Abstract

To determine the associations between parental differential treatment (PDT) and various psychopathological symptoms in children and its mechanisms, this systematic review integrated 26 studies spanning more than three decades, involving 37,025 participants. A network meta-analysis was employed to calculate correlations between absolute and relative PDT and specific symptoms (including anxiety, depression, aggression, and rule-breaking behavior), as well as broad-band symptoms (including internalizing and externalizing behavior) in children. Meta-analytic structural equation modelling was used to examine the mediating effect between PDT and psychopathology. Results indicated that a greater amount of PDT in the family (absolute PDT) was significantly associated with depression (r = 0.14, 95% CI [0.06, 0.22]), internalizing behavior (r = 0.14, 95% CI [0.06, 0.22]), aggression (r = 0.11, 95% CI [0.03, 0.19]), rule-breaking behavior (r = 0.21, 95% CI [0.08, 0.33]) and externalizing behavior (r = 0.13, 95% CI [0.04, 0.21]). Compared to favored siblings, disfavored children (relative PDT) displayed more anxiety (r = 0.11, 95% CI [0.01, 0.21]), depression (r = 0.10, 95% CI [0.00, 0.18]), internalizing behavior (r = 0.12, 95% CI [0.01, 0.23]), aggression (r = 0.12, 95% CI [0.02, 0.21]) and externalizing behavior (r = 0.20, 95% CI [0.10, 0.29]). Children who received less favoritism were at higher risk for psychopathology in cultures with higher levels of individualism. Furthermore, the sibling relationship factor mediated the association between absolute PDT and child psychopathology. These findings highlight that PDT may be a risk factor for both specific and broad-band symptoms of psychopathology and offer insights into its potential mechanisms.

父母差别对待兄弟姐妹与儿童精神病理:网络荟萃分析。
为了确定父母差别治疗(PDT)与儿童各种精神病理症状之间的关系及其机制,本系统综述整合了26项研究,涉及37,025名参与者,时间跨度超过30年。采用网络荟萃分析计算绝对和相对PDT与儿童特定症状(包括焦虑、抑郁、攻击和违反规则行为)以及宽带症状(包括内化和外化行为)之间的相关性。采用元分析结构方程模型检验PDT与精神病理之间的中介作用。结果表明,家庭中较多的PDT(绝对PDT)与抑郁(r = 0.14, 95% CI[0.06, 0.22])、内化行为(r = 0.14, 95% CI[0.06, 0.22])、攻击(r = 0.11, 95% CI[0.03, 0.19])、违反规则行为(r = 0.21, 95% CI[0.08, 0.33])和外化行为(r = 0.13, 95% CI[0.04, 0.21])显著相关。与受宠爱的兄弟姐妹相比,不受宠爱的孩子(相对PDT)表现出更多的焦虑(r = 0.11, 95% CI[0.01, 0.21])、抑郁(r = 0.10, 95% CI[0.00, 0.18])、内化行为(r = 0.12, 95% CI[0.01, 0.23])、攻击(r = 0.12, 95% CI[0.02, 0.21])和外化行为(r = 0.20, 95% CI[0.10, 0.29])。在个人主义程度较高的文化中,受到较少偏袒的儿童患精神病理学的风险更高。此外,兄弟姐妹关系因素在绝对PDT与儿童精神病理之间起中介作用。这些发现强调PDT可能是精神病理特异性和广泛性症状的危险因素,并为其潜在机制提供了见解。

Ollendick, Virginia Polytechnic Institute Clinical Child and Family Psychology Review is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that provides an international, interdisciplinary forum in which important and new developments in this field are identified and in-depth reviews on current thought and practices are published. The Journal publishes original research reviews, conceptual and theoretical papers, and related work in the broad area of the behavioral sciences that pertains to infants, children, adolescents, and families. Contributions originate from a wide array of disciplines including, but not limited to, psychology (e.g., clinical, community, developmental, family, school), medicine (e.g., family practice, pediatrics, psychiatry), public health, social work, and education. Topical content includes science and application and covers facets of etiology, assessment, description, treatment and intervention, prevention, methodology, and public policy. Submissions are by invitation only and undergo peer review. The Editors, in consultation with the Editorial Board, invite highly qualified experts to contribute original papers on topics of timely interest and significance.
