ABSTRACT

The direct threat posed by the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19), uncertainty surrounding best safety practices, and secondary consequences of the virus have led to widespread stress and declining mental health across communities and individuals. These stresses may impact parenting behaviors, potentially leading to negative consequences for children. Controlling parenting behaviors increase in the face of perceived environmental threat and are associated with adverse mental health outcomes for children; however, determinants of parenting behaviors have not been investigated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The current study prospectively evaluated parenting behaviors during the pandemic (N=87). Results indicated that all negative affect emotions investigated were positively associated with controlling parenting behaviors. However, only COVID-related fear predicted changes in controlling parenting behaviors across timepoints. Specifically, although controlling parenting behaviors decreased in the overall sample from time 1 to time 2, higher COVID-related fear scores at time 1 predicted maintenance of high levels of controlling parenting behaviors at time 2. Additionally, this effect was specific to controlling, as opposed to more adaptive, parenting behaviors. Future studies should investigate the association between parents’ COVID-related fear, controlling parenting behaviors, and adverse mental health outcomes for children in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

大流行期间,与COVID相关的恐惧会保持控制育儿行为的能力

摘要

2019年新型冠状病毒(COVID-19)构成的直接威胁,围绕最佳安全实践的不确定性以及该病毒的次要后果导致社区和个人普遍承受压力并导致心理健康下降。这些压力可能会影响父母的养育行为,从而可能对儿童造成负面影响。面对被感知的环境威胁,控制父母的行为会增加,并与儿童不良的心理健康状况有关;但是,尚未在COVID-19大流行期间调查育儿行为的决定因素。本研究前瞻性评估了大流行期间的养育行为(N = 87)。结果表明,所调查的所有负面影响情绪与控制父母教养行为均呈正相关。然而,只有与COVID相关的恐惧才能预测跨时间点控制育儿行为的变化。具体而言,尽管从时间1到时间2,整个样本中控制父母的行为减少了,但在时间1较高的COVID相关恐惧评分预测在时间2维持了高水平的父母控制行为。反对更具适应性的养育行为。未来的研究应调查在COVID-19大流行的情况下,父母对COVID的恐惧,控制育儿行为以及不利的心理健康状况之间的关联。在时间1较高的与COVID相关的恐惧评分表示在时间2可以保持较高水平的父母行为控制。此外,与更具适应性的父母行为相反,该效果特定于控制。未来的研究应该调查在COVID-19大流行的情况下父母对COVID的恐惧,控制育儿行为以及不利的心理健康状况之间的关系。在时间1较高的与COVID相关的恐惧评分表示在时间2可以保持较高水平的父母行为控制。此外,与更具适应性的父母行为相反,该效果特定于控制。未来的研究应该调查在COVID-19大流行的情况下父母对COVID的恐惧,控制育儿行为以及不利的心理健康状况之间的关系。
