Parenting styles and externalizing problem behaviors of preschoolers: mediation through self-control abilities and emotional management skills by Zhang WenLi, Xu Tiemei, Li Shuangqi, Yu Qun, Zhu Jingbo, Sun Sijie

“…Here, teachers and parents of 799 preschoolers from China were surveyed.ResultsThe findings of this investigation are 3-fold: (1) a significant association exists between the parenting styles adopted by parents and externalizing problem behaviors observed among preschoolers; (2) self-control abilities and emotional management skills independently mediate the associations between parenting styles and children's externalizing problem behaviors, highlighting their roles as mediators; and (3) sequential mediation of self-control abilities and emotional management skills elucidates a pathway through which parenting styles impact preschoolers' externalizing problem behaviors.DiscussionThis study clarified the relationship between parenting styles, externalizing problem behaviors of preschoolers, self-control abilities, and emotional management skills to provide a theoretical basis for solving the externalizing problem behaviors of preschoolers.…”
