Abstract Guided by family systems theory, we focused on families where young children have experienced paternal incarceration (n = 775 families). We examined how characteristics of mothers and fathers at two levels of the family system–individual (i.e., depression) and relational (i.e., support/affection, constructive conflict, destructive conflict, and coparenting)—were associated with internalizing and externalizing child behavior problems in a sample of families with fathers who had been previously incarcerated. Using path analysis, we found a positive association between paternal depressive symptoms and child internalizing behaviors, as well as a positive association between maternal and paternal destructive conflict and children’s internalizing and externalizing child behaviors. Other relational characteristics, including support and affection, constructive conflict and coparenting alliance were not significantly related to children’s behavior problems. Interventions that target families with children of previously incarcerated fathers should support parents as individuals and as couples to benefit the entire family system by reducing child behavior problems.

了解以前有父亲被监禁的幼儿的儿童行为问题:父母的抑郁症状,人际关系质量和父母交往

摘要在家庭系统理论的指导下,我们重点研究了年幼儿童遭受父亲监禁的家庭(n = 775个家庭)。我们研究了家庭系统两个层面上的父母特征(个人(即抑郁)和亲戚关系(即支持/情感,建设性冲突,破坏性冲突和同父母交往))如何与内部和外部儿童行为问题相关联在有父亲曾被监禁过的家庭样本中。通过路径分析,我们发现父亲的抑郁症状与孩子的内在化行为之间存在正相关关系,而母婴破坏性冲突与孩子对孩子的内在化和外在化行为之间存在正相关关系。其他关系特征 包括支持和感情,建设性冲突和同盟关系与儿童的行为问题没有显着关系。针对以前有父亲被监禁的子女的家庭进行的干预应支持父母作为个人和夫妇,通过减少孩子的行为问题来使整个家庭受益。
