摘要:The present study investigated stability and changes in mothers’ and fathers’ child-rearing practicesfrom their children’s 18th to 24th month. In addition, maternal and paternal child-rearing practices werecompared at 24 months. Eighteen families took part in the study. Mothers and fathers completed,individually, a structured interview on child-rearing practices involving six everyday conflictsituations. The results indicated a significant increase in maternal report of inductive practices from 18to 24 months. At 24 months, we found significant differences between mothers and fathers in someinductive practices (“explains” and “organizes environment”) and in the total number of coercivepractices. Mothers reported more child-rearing practices, overall, than did fathers. Mothers’ greaterinvolvement in child care and the impact of changes in children’s behavior during this developmentalperiod on child-rearing are discussed.
