Abstract

Abstract:

To explore the effects of paternal marital satisfaction on children’s social-emotional competence and its mechanism, 212 children aged 1~3 years old and their parents participated in this study. Fathers completed Marital Satisfaction Scale, Infant Attachment Scale, and Father Involvement Scale while mothers completed Infant Attachment Scale and Infant-Toddler Social & Emotional Assessment Scale. The results showed that: 1) Paternal marital satisfaction could significantly predict children’s social-emotional competence. 2) Father involvement mediated the relationship between paternal marital satisfaction and children’s social-emotional competence. 3) Father-child attachment and father involvement played significant chain mediating roles between paternal marital satisfaction and children’s social-emotional competence.

Key words: paternal marital satisfaction, father-child attachment, father involvement, social-emotional competence, infants and toddlers

摘要：

为探讨父亲婚姻满意度对婴幼儿社会−情绪能力的影响及其作用机制，采用父亲婚姻质量满意度量表、婴幼儿社会−情绪能力量表、父子依恋量表和父亲参与量表，对212名1～3岁婴幼儿父母进行调查。结果发现：（1）父亲婚姻满意度正向预测婴幼儿社会−情绪能力。（2）父亲参与在父亲婚姻满意度和婴幼儿社会−情绪能力之间起中介作用。（3）父子依恋、父亲参与在父亲婚姻满意度和婴幼儿社会−情绪能力之间起链式中介作用。
