Abstract

SYNOPSIS Objective. Parenting styles are complex and have been well studied in parents of children and adolescents; however, less is known about parenting styles in early infancy, especially among ethnic minority groups. This study examines empirically identifiable profiles of early parenting that are associated with later infant socioemotional development. Design. 239 young, low-income, African American (54.8%) and Latina (45.2%) mothers were videorecorded with their 3-month-old infants. At 13-months, mothers reported on their infants’ socioemotional development. Results. Person-oriented latent class analysis was used to identify four parenting styles: Sensitive/Stimulating (25%), Warm/Unstimulating (37%), Engaged/Tough (22%), and Disengaged (16%). The most common style among African American mothers was Engaged/Tough (34.4%), and the most prevalent style among Latina mothers was Warm/Unstimulating (48.2%). Infants of Warm/Unstimulating mothers had the lowest reported levels of problem behavior at 13 months, whereas infants of Sensitive/Stimulating mothers had the highest reported mastery motivation. Infants of Disengaged mothers had the highest reported levels of internalizing and total problem behavior and the lowest reported mastery motivation. Conclusions. Qualitatively distinct styles of early parenting link to different infant socioemotional outcomes in ways not fully captured by single dimensions of parenting. Practitioners working with young mothers from diverse ethnic backgrounds may be more effective at promoting positive parenting and infant development if they understand and can build on the strengths of certain parenting styles.
低收入非洲裔和拉丁裔年轻母亲的养育概况与婴儿社会情感发展
大纲的目标。养育方式是复杂的,在儿童和青少年的父母中已经得到了很好的研究;然而,人们对婴儿早期的父母教养方式知之甚少,尤其是少数民族。本研究考察了与后期婴儿社会情感发展相关的早期养育的经验可识别的概况。设计:对239名年轻、低收入、非裔美国人(54.8%)和拉丁裔(45.2%)母亲和她们3个月大的婴儿进行录像。在13个月大时,母亲们报告了婴儿的社会情感发展情况。结果。以人为本的潜在类别分析确定了四种养育方式:敏感/刺激(25%),温暖/不刺激(37%),敬业/强硬(22%)和不敬业(16%)。非裔美国母亲最常见的风格是敬业/强硬(34.4%),拉丁裔母亲最常见的风格是温暖/不刺激(48.2%)。温暖/不刺激母亲的婴儿在13个月时报告的问题行为水平最低,而敏感/刺激母亲的婴儿报告的掌握动机最高。不投入母亲的婴儿有最高水平的内化和整体问题行为和最低水平的掌握动机。结论。不同的早期养育方式与不同的婴儿社会情感结果之间的联系,其方式不能被单一的养育方式完全捕获。与来自不同种族背景的年轻母亲一起工作的从业者如果了解并能够建立某些育儿方式的优势,可能会更有效地促进积极的育儿和婴儿发展。

期刊介绍: Parenting: Science and Practice strives to promote the exchange of empirical findings, theoretical perspectives, and methodological approaches from all disciplines that help to define and advance theory, research, and practice in parenting, caregiving, and childrearing broadly construed. "Parenting" is interpreted to include biological parents and grandparents, adoptive parents, nonparental caregivers, and others, including infrahuman parents. Articles on parenting itself, antecedents of parenting, parenting effects on parents and on children, the multiple contexts of parenting, and parenting interventions and education are all welcome. The journal brings parenting to science and science to parenting.
