| Paying attention to the functions of the family system is crucial to promote the healthy growth and development of children.The concept of mindful parenting allows people to think about and explore the possible effect of bringing mindfulness into the family.However,the mechanism of the role of mindful parenting in the family is still unclear.Therefore,this study attempts to examine the positive role of mindful parenting in the family,and to explore the specific mechanism of mindful parenting on the family.Based on the introduction and revision of the measurement tools for mindful parenting,this study selected a larger sample size for the measurement and analysis of the results.This study can be divided into the following two studies:study 1 introduced the Inter personal Mindfulness in Parenting Scale,and selected 376 parents from mainland China as the research participants to conduct localization revision and reliability and validity test of the mainland.In study 2,the cross-sectional study design was used to test the 445 parents of mainland China using the Interpersonal Mindfulness in parenting scale,the Parenting stress index-short form,the Parental authority questionnaire,and Marital satisfaction scale.The results show:(1)The revised Interpersonal Mindfulness Scale in the upbringing has a total of 23 questions,4 factors,the internal consistency reliability of the scale is 0.80,and the indicators of the confirmatory factor analysis are:?2/df=1.92,RMSEA=0.05,IFI=0.92,CFI=0.92,TLI=0.90,indicating good structural validity.(2)The level of parents' mindful parenting is generally low,while parenting stress is high,and most parents adopt an authoritative style.There was a significant negative correlation between mindful parenting and parenting stress(r=-0.7],p<0.01)and authoritarian styles(r=-0.55,P<0.01);and mindful parenting was positively correlated with authoritative parenting style(r=0.54,p<0.01)and marital satisfaction(r=0.31,P<0.01).(3)The direct effect model of mindfulness education on parenting style and marital satisfaction showed that the model fit well:?2/df=2.03,RMSEA=0.05,IFI=0.99,TLI=0.98,CFI=0.99.Mindfulness education significantly positively predicts the authoritative parenting style(?=0.64,p<0.001)and marital satisfaction(?=0.34,p<0.001),and negatively predicts the authoritarian style(?=-0.60,p<0.001).After adding parental stress as an intermediary,the model tit index showed that ?2/df=2.11,RMSEA=0.05,IFI=0.99,TLI=0.98,CFI=0.99,which is a well-fitting model.The main conclusions are as follows:(1)The revised Interpersonal Mindfulness in Parenting Scale has good reliability and validity after being tested in Chinese mainland parents,and can provide reference research tools for future research.(2)Mindful parenting has direct and negative effect on the parenting stress and the authoritarian parenting style,and it has direct and positive effect on the authoritative parenting style and marital satisfaction.Parenting stress plays a partial mediator between mindful parenting and authoritarian style,and parenting stress plays a full mediator between mindful parenting and marital satisfaction.This study provides an empirical support for enriching the mechanism of mindful parenting by examining the role of mindful parenting in parenting style and marital satisfaction and the mediating role of parenting stress. |
