Abstract:
Objective:To explore the mediating role of family cohesion between family expressiveness and preschool children's behavior.Methods:Using the method of stratified cluster random sampling, the parents of 1 213 children in Shenzhen kindergartens were assessed by the Achenbach child behavior checklist (parent questionnaire) (CBCL, 4-16 years) and family environment scale-Chinese version (FES-CV). After the survey, SPSS 24.0 was used to conduct the data analysis and the Bootstrap method was used to test the mediation effect.Results:(1)The total score of children's behavior 147.0(135.0, 163.0) was found to be significantly negatively correlated with family expressiveness score 6.0 (5.0, 7.0) and family cohesion score 8.0 (6.0, 9.0), and the correlation coefficients were -0.145 and -0.187(both P<0.01). (2) Family expressiveness score was positively related to family cohesion score ( r=0.443, P<0.01). (3)The direct effect of family expressiveness on children's behavior was -0.072, and the 95% confidence interval was (-0.133, -0.010). Family cohesion had a mediating effect between family expressiveness and children's behavior, 95% confidence interval was (-0.129, -0.058), and the mediating effect accounted for 56.4% of the total effect. Conclusion:Family cohesion plays a partial mediating role between family expressiveness and children's behavior.
