Abstract
In this longitudinal study the relations between development of childrens problem behaviors and parents childrearing attitude have been identified by using the cross-lagged regression design. At children of two and four year of age, 172 parents reported their childrearing attitudes with CRPR, and their childrens problem behaviors with CBCL. It was found that (1) parents childrearing attitude and childrens problem behaviors are significantly correlated: correlation for externalizing behaviors is stronger than that for internalizing behaviors. Externalizing behaviors at 2-year-old can significantly predict maternal punishment at 4-year-old. (2) During the period of two years, there was significant stability in externalizing behaviors, but less stability in internalizing behaviors. And there was moderate consistence in the fathers childrearing attitudes, but relatively low in mothers childrearing attitudes.
