针对儿童行为问题的行为父母培训（BPT）干预措施是基于数十年的研究，这些研究表明特定的父母行为与儿童外化问题之间存在联系。然而，这项研究的大部分已经进行了与欧洲-美国（EA）的家庭，并不知道这些研究结果是否可以推广到墨西哥裔美国人（MA）。在目前的研究中，我们调查了自我报告的养育行为，与EA家庭（严厉的养育，不一致，和低父母温暖）之间的外化行为问题，以确定这些做法是否也可以区分MA母亲的幼儿有临床显着的行为问题MA母亲的孩子没有行为问题。参与者是115个MA家庭的幼儿，58个临床上显着的行为问题和57个孩子在正常范围内的这些问题的儿童。结果表明，MA母亲的孩子有行为问题的自我报告显着减少温暖和一致性和更严厉的养育相比，父母的孩子的行为是在正常范围内。这些研究结果表明，亲职行为与外化行为问题之间的EA家庭与MA家庭与幼儿的同样的问题，这表明父母培训干预措施，旨在针对这些行为也可能是相关的MA家庭在这个年龄范围内的儿童。然而，研究结果也表明，父母的行为不同的文化适应水平，这表明BPT计划必须响应MA家庭的规范养育方式的变化。
Behavioral parent training (BPT) interventions for child behavior problems have been based on decades of research that demonstrate links between particular parent behaviors and child externalizing problems. However, the majority of this research has been conducted with European-American (EA) families, and less is known about whether these findings can be generalized to Mexican Americans (MAs). In the current study, we investigated self-reported parenting practices that have been associated with externalizing behavior problems among EA families (harsh parenting, inconsistency, and low parental warmth), to determine if those practices can also differentiate MA mothers whose young children have clinically significant behavior problems from MA mothers whose children do not have behavior problems. Participants were 115 MA families with young children, 58 with a child with clinically significant behavior problems and 57 with a child in the normal range for such problems. Results indicated that MA mothers whose children have behavior problems self-reported significantly less warmth and consistency and more harsh parenting compared to parents whose children’s behavior was in the normal range. These findings indicate that parenting behaviors that are associated with externalizing behavior problems among EA families are associated with the same problems among MA families with young children, suggesting that parent training interventions designed to target these behaviors are also likely to be relevant to MA families with children in this age range. However, findings also indicate that parenting behaviors differ depending on acculturation level, suggesting that BPT programs must respond to variation in normative parenting practices for MA families.
