Abstract:
Objective:To understand the influence of parenting style and life events on children and adolescents′ emotional behavior problems.Methods:The Achenbach′s Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), Egma Minnen av Bardndosnauppforstran (EMBU), and Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Check List (ASLEC) were used to investigate the children′s behavior problems, parenting style, and stressful life events among 420 children and adolescents (aged 6-16 years) in Beijing. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the correlation among parenting style, stressful life events, and children′s behavior problems.Results:Among the 420 participants, boys mainly reported problems of social problems (9/44,20.5%), schizoid disorders (7/44,15.9%) and obsessive-compulsive problems (51/124,41.1%); while girls mainly reported depression (63/98,64.3%) and schizoid disorders (86/154,55.8%). Compared to those with normal CBCL scores, mothers of participants with abnormal scores were more likely to have refusal deny (13.1±5.2 vs. 11.8±3.7) and severe punishment (11.4±4.2 vs. 10.5±3.1) ( t=-3.00, -2.38 both P<0.05). Severe punishment ( OR=1.11 95% CI 1.02-1.22), overprotection by father ( OR=3.41,95% CI 1.34-15.96), and mother preference ( OR=1.74,95% CI 1.08-3.11) were the risk factors for boys′ behavior problems, including somatic complaints, immaturity, and social withdrawal behaviors (all P<0.05), while mother preference ( OR=1.31,95% CI 1.04-1.74), refusal deny ( OR=1.23,95% CI 1.06-1.47) and emotional warmth ( OR=1.04,95% CI 1.01-1.08) were the risk factors for girls′ behavior problems, including somatic complaints, cruelty, and immaturity (all P<0.05). Participants with abnormal CBCL total score tended to report greater problems in total stress, interpersonal relationship, learning pressure, loss, and health adaptation than those with normal CBCL total score, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.48, 2.87, 2.90, 3.29, 3.16, respectively, all P<0.05). Learning pressure and loss were risk factors of emotional behavior ( OR=1.10,1.21, respectively, both P<0.05). Conclusion:Negative parenting style and life events may affect the children′s emotional and behavior problems.
