The Relationship Between Congruence and Incongruence in Perceived Maternal Warmth and Paternal Warmth and Prosocial Behavior of Rural Children:The Mediating Role of Psychological Capital
Using polynomial regression with response surface analysis,the current study investigated the impact of consistency in maternal and paternal warmth parenting on the prosocial behavior of rural children,with a sample of 588 rural children in grades 4～5.The results showed that:1)When parents exhibited consistent warmth parenting,higher levels of parental warmth were associated with higher levels of prosocial behavior in rural children.2)In cases of inconsistent warmth parenting,children with either high paternal warmth or high maternal warmth exhibited higher levels of prosocial behavior compared to children with moderately warm parents.3)Psychological capital partially mediated the association between warmth parenting and prosocial behavior in rural children.These findings provide a fresh perspective for interventions targeting family education and prosocial behavior,offering meaningful insights for promoting positive adaptation among rural children.
