摘要

This study examines the contribution of spanking experience and maternal supportive parenting at age 5 on early adolescent’s externalizing behaviors across parent, teacher, and child reports, and whether maternal supportive parenting moderates the longitudinal link between spanking on externalizing behaviors across different informants among economically disadvantaged children. Mothers of 2292 children (50.8% boys, 39.2% White, 36% Black, 23.2% Latino) from the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project reported child spanking experience at age 5 and supportive parenting assessed through observations of home environment and mother-child play activity. Externalizing behaviors were rated by parents, teachers, and children at grade 5. After controlling earlier aggression and relevant demographics, spanking at age 5 significantly predicted increases in externalizing behaviors at grade 5 reported by parents and children. Supportive parenting from mothers protected economically vulnerable children from the negative impact of spanking on parent-reported externalizing behaviors. We discuss implications for early childhood programs to support long-term child well-being.
