“…For example, low family SES will lead to the negative parenting style of parents and eventually hinder the development of children (48). And in our previous studies, we found that mothers of two-child families had higher parenting stress than those of one-child families (13,49), and in two-child families, families with an income of less than 3,000 yuan had significantly higher maternal stress than families with an income of more than 6,000 yuan (49). Adolescents with lower family SES can obtain and use relatively few kinds of resources, which will make them feel unfairly treated, and cannot adapt to the environment well, thus producing or showing more problem behaviors (50).…”

“…In China, parents of multi-child families typically experience more financial pressure than parents of one-child families. As they are often busy with work, they seldom have time and energy to take their children to participate in social activities, such as going to the movies, traveling, visiting relatives and friends, and so on ( 13 ). Especially in recent years, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, children have been busy either attending school or taking online classes at home, they are even more socially isolated than before, so they may have more social problems ( 14 , 15 ).…”

This study aimed to investigate relationships among parental psychological control, adolescent emotion regulation, and social problems in China. In total, 1,145 adolescents aged 12–15 years participated in the study, which used the Parental Psychological Control Scale, Adolescent Problem Behavior Scale, and Emotion Regulation Scale. The results indicated the following: (1) Compared with only-child teens, adolescents in multi-child families had significant social problems; (2) parental psychological control significantly predicted adolescents’ social problems; (3) there was a partially mediating effect of adolescents’ emotion regulation between parental psychological control and adolescents’ social problems.

“…A study by Davis and Carter 50 showed that mothers experience significantly more stress in parenting than fathers. Thus, maternal parenting stress negatively predicted maternal warmth behavior after one year and had an indirect effect on children's sensitive cooperation and anger aggression 20 . The reason might be that higher or lower parenting stress can lead to positive or negative parenting styles that affect children's social adjustment.…”

“…Many families have become two-child families after the change in China's fertility policy. This change has undoubtedly put pressure on parents in various ways, such as economical pressure and pressure to regulate sibling relationships, which may potentially compromise the parenting quality to a certain extent 19,20 .…”

This study explored the relationship between parenting stress, parenting style, parenting quality, and young children's executive function. In total, 243 firstborns aged 2–9 years old (SD = 3.82) and their parents from two-child families in Beijing participated in the study, which used executive function tasks and parenting questionnaires. The results found that (1) parenting stress negatively predicted parenting quality; (2) parenting style partially mediated the relationship between parenting stress and parenting quality; (3) children's executive function partially mediated the relationship between parenting stress and parenting quality; and (4) the spoiled, democratic, permissive, and authoritarian parenting styles each play a chain mediating role with young children's executive function between parenting stress and parenting quality. Taken together, these findings provide implications for scientific parenting of children with different psychological characteristics (such as executive function) in multiple-child families under Parenting stress.

“…In addition, according to the parenting stress model, poor interaction between parents and children can lead to higher parenting stress which also affect children’s social communication ( Estes et al, 2009 ; Qian et al, 2022 ). Hence, low levels of parental involvement in transition activities may increase parental parenting stress, thus hindering children’s social adjustment ( Rezendes and Scarpa, 2011 ).…”

The relationship between parental involvement and psychological adjustment among Chinese children with autism spectrum disorder in the transition from kindergarten to primary school: A chain-mediating model

IntroductionThis study examined the impact of parental involvement on the psychological adjustment of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and the role of parenting self-efficacy and parenting stress in the transition from kindergarten to primary school.MethodsUsing the questionnaires, we collected data from 237 Chinese parents of children with ASD.ResultsMediation analyses showed that parental involvement partially promoted the psychological adjustment of children with ASD, which was reflected in the fact that parental involvement promoted children’s prosocial behavior but did not reduce their emotional/behavioral problems. Mediation analyses also revealed the role of the mediator in parenting stress between parental involvement and the psychological adjustment of children. Additionally, the results suggested that parenting self-efficacy and parenting stress played a chain-mediating role in the association between parental involvement and psychological adjustment in children with ASD.DiscussionThese findings enhance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the relationship between parental involvement and psychological adjustment in children with ASD in the transition from kindergarten to primary school.
