[Coping and mediating effect between parents' rearing attitude and problem behavior of pre-school children]
1Faculty of Education and Technology, Huzhou Teachers College, Huzhou 313000, China.
Objective:
To explore the children's coping strategies and their mediation effects between parents' rearing and children's problem behavior.
Methods:
Using Parents' Childrearing Question-naire, Child Behavioral Checklist of Achenbach and the method of story-context evaluation, a sample of 204 children was tested.
Results:
Contexts effects in coping were found. The mean of proportion scores of problem approach coping of 4-year and 5-year old children (0.42 +/- 0.28, 0.41 +/- 0.30) was significantly more than that of 3-year-old children (0.21 +/- 0.19). The results also showed that problem approach coping could negatively forecast the children's externalizing and internalizing problem behaviors. Coping could partly moderate the relation between parents' childrearing attitude and child problems behavior.
Conclusion:
With age increasing, children's coping strategies become more and more mature. Problem approach coping is a positive coping method for preschoolers, and might prevent their problem behaviors effectively.
