目标。本研究评估了两种类型的社会支持--育儿支持和一般社会支持--与最佳父母教养方式之间的直接和间接关系。设计。来自165名已婚母亲的自我报告数据是从9岁到11岁的四年级长子的已婚母亲那里收集的。使用了被广泛接受的温暖、监控、一般心理困扰、育儿压力和一般社会支持等测量方法。为这项研究开发了一种衡量家庭和朋友对育儿支持的方法。结果。通径分析表明，特定父母支持与最佳父母教养方式之间的关系完全是由父母压力中介的，而不是一般的心理困扰。一般社会支持与最佳父母教养方式之间的关系并不完全通过父母压力或一般心理压力来调节。结论。这项研究综合了社会支持、压力和应对以及育儿研究中的基本成分。本研究通过关注社会支持和压力在父母教养领域的特殊性，将父母教养压力作为父母支持与最佳父母教养之间关系的中介变量。
Objective. This study assessed the direct and indirect relations between 2 types of social support - parenting support and general social support - and optimal parenting. Design. Self-report data were gathered from 165 married mothers of firstborn 4th-graders between the ages of 9 and 11 years. Widely accepted measures of warmth, monitoring, general psychological distress, parenting stress, and general social support were used. A measure of parenting support from family and friends was developed for this study. Results. Path analysis indicated that the relation between specific parenting support and optimal parenting was completely mediated by parenting stress and not by general psychological distress. The relation between general social support and optimal parenting was not completely mediated by either parenting stress or general psychological distress. Conclusions. This study integrated essential components from the social support, stress and coping, and parenting research. The authors identify parenting stress as a mediator of the relation between parenting support and optimal parenting by focusing on the specificity of social support and stress in the domain of parenting.
