摘要

父母严厉的管教(即心理攻击和体罚)一直与更严重的儿童行为问题有关。然而,这种关联背后的机制尚不清楚。严厉的纪律在普遍存在的文化中可能不会产生类似的负面影响。目的探讨儿童严厉管教与行为问题之间的直接关系,以及依恋维度(信任、沟通、疏离)在这些关系中的中介作用。参与者和设置449名新加坡年轻人完成了调查(年龄= 22.57,年龄= 1.77,52%为女性)。方法参与者报告了他们的童年纪律、当前对父母的依恋以及当前的行为(即外化和内化)问题。分别对母亲和父亲进行通径分析。结果母亲的心理攻击和父母严厉的体罚与外化问题的发生有直接关系。父母的心理攻击和母亲严厉的体罚与通过疏离产生的更大的行为问题间接相关。父亲心理攻击与外化问题的关系也受沟通不良的中介作用。没有发现轻微的身体训练。结论心理攻击和严厉的体罚与更严重的行为问题有关,即使在严格的体罚被认为是可以接受的文化背景下也是如此。在这种情况下,轻微的体罚可能会产生较少的不良后果。父母疏离和父亲沟通不良是心理攻击和严厉体罚与较大行为问题相关的干预机制。这些发现突出了鼓励非暴力纪律策略以促进儿童最佳发展的必要性。

Childhood harsh discipline and behavioral problems: The mediating roles of attachment dimensions

Background

Parental harsh discipline (i.e., psychological aggression and physical discipline) has been consistently associated with greater child behavioral problems. Yet the mechanism underlying this association remains unclear. Harsh discipline may not have similar negative implications in cultures where it is prevalent.

Objective

This study examined the direct associations between childhood harsh discipline and behavioral problems, as well as the mediating roles of attachment dimensions (i.e., trust, communication, alienation) in these relationships.

Participants and setting

449 Singaporean young adults completed the survey (Mage = 22.57, SDage = 1.77, 52% female).

Methods

Participants reported on their childhood discipline, current attachment towards their parent, and current behavioral (i.e., externalizing and internalizing) problems. Path analyses were conducted separately for mothers and fathers.

Results

Maternal psychological aggression and parental severe physical discipline were directly related to greater externalizing problems. Parental psychological aggression and maternal severe physical discipline were indirectly associated with greater behavioral problems through alienation. The relationship between paternal psychological aggression and externalizing problems was also mediated by poor communication. Null finding for minor physical discipline was observed.

Conclusions

Psychological aggression and severe physical discipline are related to greater behavioral problems, even in a cultural context where strict discipline is deemed acceptable. Minor physical discipline may have less adverse consequences in such a context. Parental alienation and paternal poor communication were the intervening mechanisms through which psychological aggression and severe physical discipline are related to greater behavioral problems. These findings highlight the need to encourage non-violent disciplinary strategies to facilitate optimal child development.
