The present study aimed at exploring the relationship between parenting stress and children's problematic behaviour in the families of 99 children aged 8–11 years. Parenting stress was assessed by parents, using the Parenting Stress Index, and children's problematic behaviour was assessed by teachers, using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. A moderation regression analysis showed a conditioning effect of paternal parenting stress in the relationship between maternal parenting stress and children's problematic behaviour. In the presence of high levels of paternal parenting stress, the relationship between maternal parenting stress and children's problematic behaviour was significant and strong (p = .01). When paternal parenting stress levels were low, the relationship between maternal parenting stress and children's problematic behaviour was not significant (p = .49). The results underlined that paternal parenting stress may buffer the relationship between maternal parenting stress and children's problematic behaviour. Clinical implications are discussed.

父亲教养压力在母亲教养压力与儿童问题行为关系中的缓冲作用

本研究旨在探讨 99 名 8-11 岁儿童家庭中的养育压力与儿童问题行为之间的关系。父母使用育儿压力指数评估育儿压力，教师使用优势和困难问卷评估儿童的问题行为。适度回归分析表明，父亲教养压力在母亲教养压力与儿童问题行为之间的关系中具有调节作用。在父母教养压力水平较高的情况下，母亲教养压力与儿童问题行为之间的关系显着且强烈（p = .01）。当父亲教养压力水平较低时，母亲教养压力与儿童问题行为之间的关系不显着（p  = .49）。结果强调，父亲教养压力可能会缓冲母亲教养压力与儿童问题行为之间的关系。讨论了临床意义。
