大量的文献提供了强有力的经验支持的影响，养育子女的结果。目前的研究解决了长期的研究问题，测试早期养育行为对儿童适应的重要性。具体来说，我们开发并测试了一种新的多方法观察测量父母在2岁时的积极行为支持。接下来，我们测试了早期父母的积极行为支持是否与学龄儿童的适应有关，在多主体和多方法测量方法和设计中。从2岁时的高风险样本中收集了来自母子二人组（N =731; 49%为女性）的观察和家长报告数据。通过教师报告和7.5岁时的儿童评估收集随访数据。结果支持结合三种不同的观察方法来评估积极的行为支持在2岁的一个潜在因素。此外，父母在2岁时观察到的积极行为支持预测了7.5岁时教师报告和儿童评估的多种类型的问题行为和能力。结果支持了多方法观察性育儿措施的有效性和预测能力，以及在预防干预措施中继续关注早期的重要性。
A large literature provides strong empirical support for the influence of parenting on child outcomes. The current study addresses enduring research questions testing the importance of early parenting behavior to children's adjustment. Specifically, we developed and tested a novel multi‐method observational measure of parental positive behavior support at age 2. Next, we tested whether early parental positive behavior support was related to child adjustment at school age, within a multi‐agent and multi‐method measurement approach and design. Observational and parent‐reported data from mother–child dyads (N =731; 49 percent female) were collected from a high‐risk sample at age 2. Follow‐up data were collected via teacher report and child assessment at age 7.5. The results supported combining three different observational methods to assess positive behavior support at age 2 within a latent factor. Further, parents' observed positive behavior support at age 2 predicted multiple types of teacher‐reported and child‐assessed problem behavior and competencies at 7.5 years old. Results supported the validity and predictive capability of a multi‐method observational measure of parenting and the importance of a continued focus on the early years within preventive interventions.
