父母对子女表现的反应：美国和中国的过程性检验

Parents’responses to their children’sperformance: Aprocess examination in the United States and China

 【摘要】这项研究验证了以下观点，即儿童对父母对他们的目标的推断是一种可能的机制，通过该机制父母对孩子的表现的反应有助于孩子的心理功能。美国（N=447; M=13.24岁；49％的女孩；95％的美国人）和中国人（N = 439；M= 13.36岁；52％的女孩）的早期青少年报告了父母对其表现，父母自我的反应一年的价值和自我改善目标，以及他们的心理功能（例如主观幸福感）。父母使用以成功为导向的应对措施的次数越多，他们的孩子就越能推断出自己的自我价值目标，这预示着随着时间的流逝，孩子的心理功能会增强。父母对失败的反应使用的次数越多，他们的孩子就越会推断他们拥有自我改善的目标，但这并不构成父母对失败的反应倾向于预测随着时间推移心理功能下降的趋势。在美国，这些途径往往比中国更强大。

Abstract：This research examined the idea that children's inferences abouttheir parents' goals for them is a possible mechanism by which parents'responses to their children's performance contribute to children'spsychological functioning. American (N = 447; Mage = 13.24 years; 49% girls;95% European American) and Chinese (N = 439; Mage = 13.36 years; 52% girls)early adolescents reported on parents' responses to their performance, parents'self-worth and self-improvement goals for them, and their psychologicalfunctioning (e.g., subjective well-being) twice over a year. The more parentsused success-oriented responses, the more their children inferred they held self-worthgoals, which predicted enhanced psychological functioning among children overtime. The more parents used failure responses, the more their children inferredthey held self-improvement goals, but this did not underlie the tendency forparents' failure responses to predict poorer psychological functioning overtime. These pathways tended to be stronger in the United States than China.
