关于祖母的养育行为如何影响孙辈的心理适应的研究很少。然而，从少数先前的研究结果表明，家庭压力模型（FSM）的相关性，这些照顾者。本研究进一步测试了FSM与基线数据从343监护祖母（法师= 58.5年）参加了一项临床试验的干预措施的疗效，以改善他们的家庭的福祉。这种“寻求帮助”的样本不仅是先前FSM研究的非典型样本，而且是本研究的独特之处在于，我们增加了多种育儿实践，祖母痛苦的自我报告和临床评级，以及孙子孙女和祖母的内化和外化困难的报告。Mplus 7.31被用来测试一个模型，其中祖母的困扰对孙子孙女的内化和外化的困难的影响被假设为间接通过五个不同的养育方式。关于测量和结构模型的研究结果都很好地拟合了观察到的数据，并且在很大程度上发现了孙子的性别和年龄（4-7 vs. 8-12）的不变性。虽然孙辈的自我报告的内化和外化的困难是无关的祖母的痛苦和养育的做法，祖母的报告，这些结果一般与自己的痛苦和养育的做法假设。然而，相当大的变化，发现在五个养育的做法，他们的关系，其他FSM结构。我们的结论是，从多个被调查者的数据和各种育儿措施的做法是必不可少的未来的研究和实践。
There is scant research on how the parenting practices of custodial grandmothers affect the psychological adjustment of grandchildren in their care. Yet, the findings from a handful of prior studies suggest the relevance of the Family Stress Model (FSM) to these caregivers. The present study further tested the FSM with baseline data from 343 custodial grandmothers (Mage= 58.5 years) enrolled in a clinical trial of the efficacy of interventions for improving the well-being of their families. Not only was this “help-seeking” sample atypical of prior FSM studies, but also unique to the present study was our addition of multiple parenting practices, self-reported and clinical ratings of grandmothers’ distress, and reports of grandchildren’s internalizing and externalizing difficulties from grandchildren and grandmothers. Mplus 7.31 was used to test a model where the effect of grandmother distress on grandchildren’s internalizing and externalizing difficulties was hypothesized to be indirect through five distinct parenting practices. The findings regarding both the measurement and structural models fit the observed data well, and invariance was largely found across grandchildren’s gender and age (4–7 vs. 8–12). Although grandchildren’s self-reported internalizing and externalizing difficulties were unrelated to grandmothers’ distress and parenting practices, the grandmothers’ reports of these outcomes were generally related to their own distress and parenting practices as hypothesized. However, considerable variation was found across the five parenting practices in terms of their relationships to the other FSM constructs. We conclude that data from multiple informants and measures of assorted parenting practices are essential to future research and practice.
