客观的。本研究的目的是考察不同群体的年轻母亲的情感可用性、养育态度和养育行为与养育方式和文化背景的关系。设计。参与者是 313 名来自欧洲裔美国人、拉丁美洲和非裔美国人背景的首次当幼儿母亲的青少年母亲。使用情绪可用性量表评估情绪可用性，并使用聚类分析来检查与母亲的养育态度和行为报告的关系。结果。数据中出现了三种教养方式：民主、严格的爱和指导。民主型和指导型教养方式与母亲的种族有关；欧洲裔美国母亲在民主育儿群体中的代表性更高，拉丁美洲母亲在指令性育儿群体中的代表性更高。在多元回归分析中，母亲敏感性是通过社会经济指标而非种族来预测的。文化背景预测养育方式；社会经济指标预测敏感性。结论。结果基于当前关于美国青少年养育、文化背景以及种族和收入之间的强烈混淆的研究。
Objective. The goals of this study were to examine emotional availability, parenting attitudes, and parenting behaviors in relation to parenting style and cultural context in a diverse group of young mothers. Design. Participants were 313 first-time adolescent mothers of toddler-aged children from European American, Latin American, and African American backgrounds. Emotional availability was assessed using the Emotional Availability Scales, and cluster analysis was used to examine relations with mothers' reports of parenting attitudes and behaviors. Results. Three parenting styles emerged from the data: democratic, strict loving, and directive. The democratic and directive parenting styles were related to maternal ethnicity; European American mothers were more highly represented in the democratic parenting group, and Latin American mothers were more highly represented in the directive parenting group. In multivariate regression analysis, maternal Sensitivity was predicted by socioeconomic indicators but not ethnicity. Cultural background predicted style of parenting; socioeconomic markers predicted Sensitivity. Conclusions. Results are situated within current research about adolescent parenting, cultural context, and the strong confound between ethnicity and income within the United States.
