在过去的50年里，欧洲和北美儿童的行动自由和户外游戏自由出现了明显的减少。本研究采用结构方程模型，考察了影响儿童自主行动能力的个人、环境和心理社会因素之间的交互作用。这项研究涉及313名8-10岁意大利儿童的母亲。结果支持假设模型：儿童的年龄、母亲对社会危险的感知、户外自主的积极潜力是影响儿童独立行动能力的最大变量，作为一项指标来衡量。此外，母亲的感知在其他人口、心理社会和环境变量对独立流动性的影响中起到中介作用。
In the past 50 years, a marked reduction has occurred in European and North American children's freedom of movement and outdoor play. Using a structural equation model, the present study investigates the interaction between personal, environmental, and psychosocial factors that affect children's independent mobility. The study involved 313 mothers of 8-10-year-old Italian children. The results supported the hypothesized model: the age of the child, the maternal perception of social danger, and positive potentiality of outdoor autonomy were the most influential variables on children's independent mobility, measured as an index. Further, the maternal perceptions mediated the influence of the other demographic, psychosocial, and environmental variables on independent mobility.
