Mothers'Child-Based Worth and Maternal Intrusive Parenting and Preschool Children's Executive Function:The Moderating Effect of Child Gender
This study aimed to investigate whether mothers'child-based worth affects three specific components of preschoolers'executive function through maternal intrusive parenting,and to examine the moderating effects of the child gender on these relationships.Using a convenience sampling method,319 preschoolers and their mothers were recruited from kindergartens in Hebei and Shandong provinces.Age-adjusted normalized score was calculated automatically according to reaction time and accuracy.The results showed that:1)mothers'child-based worth significantly positively predicted maternal intrusive parenting;2)maternal intrusive parenting mediated the relationship between child-based worth and preschoolers'inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility;3)child gender only moderated the pathway from maternal intrusive parenting to preschoolers'inhibitory control,and maternal intrusive parenting significantly predicted inhibitory control only in girls.This study explored the potential causes of maternal intrusive parenting from the perspective of mothers'child-based worth,which provides targeted parenting strategies to promote cognitive development in children.
