“…The result can be interpreted that the more children the respondents have had, the higher the level of parenting stress is detected. By referring to the study conducted by [8], which provided a similar result, stating that the strong association was found between the numbers of children and parenting stress. The only difference is that current research only showed a weak association between the numbers of children and parenting stress.…”

Abstract-This study examines the relationship between parenting stress and perceived children's social problem behavior. The sample consists of 100 Chinese working mothers were sampled by cluster sampling methods. Parenting Stress Index-short Form and Eyberg child Behavior Inventory were employed to measure the parenting stress and children social problem behavior respectively. The result revealed that parenting stress is significantly positive correlated with perceived children social problem behavior in intensity (r = .431**, p < 0.01) and problem score (r = .716 **, p (0.0I). Besides, parental distress (r = .340**, p < 0.01), parent child dysfunction interaction (r = .398**, p < 0.01) and difficult child (r = .389**, p < 0.01) also moderately associated with perceived children social problem behavior in intensity score. The findings also noted parental distress (r = .435**, p < 0.01), parent child dysfunction interaction (r = .731**, p < 0.01) and difficult child (r = .672**, p < 0.01) also moderately associated with perceived children social problem behavior in problem score. Interestingly, the result showed household income (r = -.233**, p < 0.01) and numbers of children (r = .333 **, p < 0.01) are related to parenting stress. The result showed the higher the working hours, the lower the parenting stress (r = -.424**, p < 0.01). Hence, this study gives a guideline for the policy makers and counselors to design program which can benefit the parents and children as well.Index Terms-Parenting stress, children's social problem behavior.

“…At an extrapersonal, exosystem level, low social support for parents has been recognized as linked to increased maltreatment recurrence (DePanfilis and Zuravin 1999) and physical abuse potential (Litty et al 1996). Difficulties in social network support have also been described as problematic for abusive mothers (Chan 1994;Corse et al 1990). Interestingly, one factor that differs considerably across cultural groups is the importance of social support networks and kinship bonds.…”

Recent attention to multicultural issues has sparked recognition that parenting is also a culturally construed phenomenon. The present study involved a diverse sample of 90 Anglo-American and Hispanic parents examining predictors based on distal/proximal levels as conceptualized in the ecological model. The study examined background characteristics (e.g., minority status, educational level, income), intrapersonal (anger, parenting competence, parenting satisfaction), and extrapersonal (social support) factors in the prediction of child abuse potential and dysfunctional disciplinary style. Parents participated anonymously in an in-home assessment. Neither minority status nor income predicted abuse potential or parenting style beyond what was accounted for by educational level. The pattern of findings for the sample suggests the relative importance of anger expression, parenting self-efficacy, and social support satisfaction in both abuse potential and disciplinary style for both Hispanic and Anglo-American parents. Future research directions with diverse samples are considered, including the need for measures specifically designed to assess parenting issues in diverse cultural groups.Keywords Child abuse potential Á Parenting style Á Ecological theory Á Multiculturalism Á Child maltreatment Mounting interest in the variability of parenting styles has emerged from the literature, with heightened recognition that different cultural groups approach parenting in unique ways (

“…Parenting stress has been consistently linked with abusive parenting behaviors in various populations (Chan, 1994;Webster-Stratton, 1988). Webster-Stratton (1990) highlights the need to conceptualize stress in broad terms and to incorporate several contributing factors (e.g,, marital conflict, isolation, health concerns).…”
