The extent to which students’ level of depressive and anxiety symptoms and student engagement were predicted by parental emotional support, monitoring and harsh parenting was investigated using a series of multiple regression analyses. Grade six students from public primary schools (n = 293; 49% females, 51% males; mean age = 10 years) in Barbados completed the Revised Children’s Anxiety and Depression Scale, a Parenting Questionnaire and an adapted Student Engagement scale. Students’ level of depressive symptoms were predicted by parental emotional support and harsh parenting, but not by parental monitoring. With the exception of harsh parenting, neither parental emotional support nor parental monitoring were significant predictors of the anxiety levels of students. Student engagement was predicted by all three types of parenting practices. Limitations, recommendations for future research and practical implications of the study are discussed.

抑郁、焦虑和学生参与的心理社会分析：育儿实践的影响

使用一系列多元回归分析调查了父母情感支持、监控和严厉的养育方式对学生的抑郁和焦虑症状水平以及学生参与度的预测程度。巴巴多斯公立小学的六年级学生（n = 293；49% 女性，51% 男性；平均年龄 = 10 岁）完成了修订后的儿童焦虑和抑郁量表、育儿问卷和调整后的学生参与量表。学生的抑郁症状水平可以通过父母的情感支持和严厉的养育方式来预测，但不能通过父母的监督来预测。除了严厉的养育方式外，父母的情感支持和父母的监督都不是学生焦虑水平的重要预测因素。所有三种类型的育儿实践都预测了学生的参与度。
