研究结果：本研究采用组内研究设计和以人为本的分析方法，以确定多维配置文件的养育方式，养育方式，和相关的情感因素的样本中招募的274名非洲裔美国母亲在美国东北部和东南部的开端计划。通过测量学龄前儿童在学年中的两个时间点的攻击性和多动行为，研究了儿童行为适应随时间的差异。结果表明，3个适应性养育配置文件和2个挑战，或适应性较低，配置文件之间的样本，与更大比例的父母所代表的自适应配置文件。父母档案成员资格显着相关的儿童攻击行为在时间1和多动行为在时间2。实践或政策：这些结果的影响，促进健康的亲子关系在幼儿发展时期进行了讨论。未来的研究需要完善的类型学的养育，捕捉适应性的养育技术在非洲裔美国人的家庭中使用。
Research Findings: This study used a within-group research design and person-centered analytic methods to identify multidimensional profiles of parenting styles, parenting practices, and related emotional factors in a sample of 274 African American mothers recruited from Head Start programs in the northeastern and southeastern United States. Interprofile differences in children's behavioral adjustment over time were also examined by measuring preschool children's aggressive and hyperactive behavior at 2 time points during the academic year. The results indicated 3 adaptive parenting profiles and 2 challenged, or less adaptive, profiles among the sample, with a greater proportion of parents represented by the adaptive profiles. Parenting profile membership was significantly associated with child aggressive behaviors at Time 1 and hyperactive behaviors at Time 2. Practice or Policy: Implications of these results for fostering healthy parentchild relations during the early childhood developmental period are discussed. Future research is needed to refine a typology of parenting that captures adaptive parenting techniques utilized within African American families.
