Objective: To explore the relationship between parental self efficacy consistency with children s social development,and to provide a reference basis for promoting children s social development. Methods: During September to October of 2019, cluster sampling method were used to select 905 children and their parents from 2 kindergarten (senior , mid and junior class) and 2 primary schools (grade one to grade three) in Bengbu. Children s social development and parental self efficacy were assessed by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire(SDQ) and the parenting sense of competence Scale, respectively. Ordinal Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between parenting efficacy consistency with children s social development. Results: Prevalence of emotional problems, conduct problems, hyperactivity attention inability，peer problems, and abnormal prosocial behtavior was 8.95%，6.30%， 18.01%, 14.03%，7.40% and 5.41%，respectively, which were negatively associated with parental self efficacy( P <0.01). Consistent parenting sense of competence, children s emotion, hyperactivity attention inability, moral behavior and prosocial behavior anomaly detection rate lowest, mother parenting self efficacy were higher than the father, children s enotion, conduct behavior, hyperactivity attention inability and prosocial behavior anomaly detection rate is highest, when the father parenting self efficacy was higher than that of mothers, Children s conduct behavior and hyperativity attention inability had the highest detection rate( Z =6.57, 7.58,7.25, 7.06, P <0.05). Children with higher maternal parenting self efficacy were more likely to develop emotional, conduct behavior, hyperactivity attention inability and prosocial behavior abnormalities, and children with higher father parenting self efficacy were more likely to develop conduct behavior and hyperactivity attention inability ( P <0.05). Conclusion Parental self efficacy and its consistency are related to child social development.It is suggested that parents should improve the parenting efficiency and the quality of companionship, optimize the family relations, and create a harmonious atmosphere.
