SYNOPSIS

Objective. This study sought to identify processes linking daily parental need experiences to daily parenting, focusing on the intervening role of parental psychological availability and stress. Design. In total, 206 mothers (Mage = 40.33 years) and 206 fathers (Mage = 42.36 years) and their elementary school child (Mage = 9.93 years; 46.6% female) participated in a 7-day multi-informant diary study. Results. Parents’ daily need satisfaction was related to more daily psychological availability and lower daily stress in parent-child interactions, but parental need frustration related to less daily psychological availability and more stress. Psychological availability and stress were related to more daily parent-reported and child-perceived autonomy support and psychological control, respectively. However, parental need-based experiences were related to children’s reported parenting only indirectly (i.e., through psychological availability and stress). These associations were obtained at the within-day level but not in models predicting parenting the next day. Conclusion. Parental need-based experiences are a critical resource for parenting.

概要

目的。这项研究旨在确定将父母的日常需要经历与父母的日常活动联系起来的过程，重点关注父母心理可用性和压力的干预作用。设计。总共有206名母亲（ M年龄= 40.33岁）和206名父亲（ M年龄= 42.36岁）和他们的小学生（ M年龄= 9.93岁；女性46.6％）参加了为期7天的多信息日记研究。结果。父母的日常需求满意度与亲子互动中更多的每日心理可用性和较低的每日压力有关，但父母的挫败感与较少的每日心理可用性和更大的压力有关。心理可获得性和压力分别与更多的父母每天报告和儿童感知的自治支持和心理控制有关。但是，基于父母需求的经历仅间接地（即通过心理状况和压力）与儿童报告的父母育儿有关。这些关联是在一天之内获得的，但不是在预测第二天育儿的模型中获得的。结论。基于父母需求的经验是育儿的重要资源。
