目标。本研究探讨了产妇温暖作为一个主持人之间的关系苛刻的纪律做法和青少年外化问题一年后，在低收入，墨西哥裔美国家庭。设计参与者是189名青少年和他们的母亲组成的纵向干预计划的控制组。结果母亲的温暖保护青少年的负面影响，严厉的纪律，这样，在较高水平的母亲的温暖，有严厉的纪律和外化问题的基线水平和其他协变量控制后，没有关系。在较低水平的母亲温暖，有一个严格的纪律做法和后来的外化问题之间的正相关。结论为了了解严厉的纪律在墨西哥裔美国青年发展中的作用，研究人员必须考虑可能影响青少年对父母行为的看法的背景变量，例如母亲的温暖。
SYNOPSISObjective. This study examined maternal warmth as a moderator of the relation between harsh discipline practices and adolescent externalizing problems one year later in low-income, Mexican American families. Design. Participants were 189 adolescents and their mothers who comprised the control group of a longitudinal intervention program. Results. Maternal warmth protected adolescents from the negative effects of harsh discipline such that, at higher levels of maternal warmth, there was no relation between harsh discipline and externalizing problems after controlling for baseline levels of externalizing problems and other covariates. At lower levels of maternal warmth, there was a positive relation between harsh discipline practices and later externalizing problems. Conclusion. To understand the role of harsh discipline in the development of Mexican American youth outcomes, researchers must consider contextual variables that may affect youths' perceptions of their parents' behavior, such as maternal warmth.
