这项多方法、多特质的研究在父母教养干预的背景下考察了改变的调节因素和中介因素。低收入、多样化的幼儿母亲(平均年龄30个月；N=186，90名女孩)参加了一项以游戏为基础的干预(以儿童为导向的游戏与照常游戏)，目的是增加儿童的承诺遵守，减少对母亲的反对，在禁止的情况下观察到，并在干预6个月后减少母亲评估的儿童的行为问题。母亲在干预过程中的主观生活满意度和满足感以及临床医生对心理社会功能的客观评分被设定为调节变量，母亲在干预后立即观察到的权力-自信纪律被建模为其影响的中介变量。我们使用结构方程模型测试了缓和的中介作用，并控制了所有基线分数(随机前)。母亲的主观生活满意度缓和了干预的影响，但临床医生的评分没有。对于对生活非常满意的母亲来说，与平时的游戏小组相比，参加以儿童为中心的游戏小组会导致权力主导型管教的减少，进而导致儿童的顺从性增加，反对和外在问题减少。对于报告生活满意度低的母亲来说，没有任何影响。这项研究阐明了干预启动的因果序列，展示了母亲主观生活满意度的调节作用，强调了临床医生评级的局限性，并为未来促进适应性育儿的预防和干预努力提供了信息。
This multi-method multi-trait study examined moderators and mediators of change in the context of a parenting intervention. Low-income, diverse mothers of toddlers (average age 30 months; N=186, 90 girls) participated in a play-based intervention (Child-Oriented Play versus Play-as-Usual) aimed at increasing children's committed compliance and reducing opposition toward their mothers, observed in prohibition contexts, and at reducing mother-rated children's behavior problems 6 months after the intervention. Mothers’ subjective sense of life satisfaction and fulfillment during the intervention and objective ratings of psychosocial functioning by clinicians, obtained in a clinical interview were posed as moderators, and mothers’ observed power-assertive discipline immediately following the intervention was modeled as a mediator of its impact. We tested moderated mediation using structural equation modeling, with all baseline scores (prior to randomization) controlled. Mothers’ subjective sense of life satisfaction moderated the impact of the intervention, but clinicians’ ratings did not. For mothers highly satisfied with their lives, participating in Child-Oriented Play group, compared to Play-as-Usual group, led to a reduction in power-assertive discipline which, in turn, led to children's increased compliance and decreased opposition and externalizing problems. There were no effects for mothers who reported low life satisfaction. The study elucidates the causal sequence set in motion by the intervention, demonstrates the moderating role of mothers’ subjective life satisfaction, highlights limitations of clinicians’ ratings, and informs future prevention and intervention efforts to promote adaptive parenting.
