本研究旨在探讨母亲指导（即，参与和监控）与非结构化和结构化任务中的父母水平和背景因素相关。参与者是母亲谁的风险和不利的历史（平均年龄=30.47）与他们的学龄前儿童（年龄2- 6岁; n男性=39，n女性=50）。产妇指导分为两类：指令（即，命令和命令重复）和非指令性（即，询问、口头提示和解释）。结果显示，更多的指导性指导的母亲有更高水平的父母压力和更高水平的母亲的童年历史的社会退缩。此外，更多的非指导性的母亲指导与更高质量的家庭环境。两者合计，结果表明，父母的做法是最好的理解有关的上下文变量。研究结果对制定和实施针对高危母亲的育儿干预措施具有重要意义。父母压力、家庭环境）和母亲指导（母亲使用命令与暗示或提示）。母亲的指导进行了评估观察和命令与更多的父母压力，而暗示与更高质量的家庭环境。了解父母作为一个整体，通过探索上下文的因素，而不是通过孤立的育儿做法，可能是有益的，在未来的育儿干预措施的应用。
The present study was designed to explore how maternal guidance (i.e., involvement and monitoring) is associated with parent-level and contextual factors in unstructured and structured tasks. Participants were mothers who had histories of risk and disadvantage (mean age=30.47) with their preschool-aged children (aged 2-6years; n males=39, n females=50). Maternal guidance was divided into two categories: directive (i.e., commands and command repetitions) and nondirective (i.e., queries, verbal prompts, and explanations). Results revealed that mothers with more directive guidance had higher levels of parental stress and higher levels of maternal childhood histories of social withdrawal. Furthermore, more nondirective maternal guidance was associated with higher quality of home environments. Taken together, results suggest that parenting practices are best understood in relation to contextual variables. Findings have implications for developing and implementing parenting interventions for at-risk mothers.HighlightsExplored the association between contextual factors (e.g., parent stress, home environment) and maternal guidance (mother's use of commands vs. hints or prompts). Maternal guidance was assessed observationally and commands were associated with more parental stress while hints were associated with a higher quality home environment. Understanding parents as a whole by exploring contextual factors, rather than through isolated parenting practices, may be beneficial in the application of future parenting interventions.
