The complex longitudinal influence of paternal and maternal parental psychological flexibility on child problem behavior: exploring the role of parenting styles.
Article in BMC psychology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study aims to explore the complex relationship between paternal and maternal parental psychological flexibility, parenting styles, and child problem behavior within the cultural context of China.
methodsStructural equation modeling was used to conduct statistical analysis on longitudinal data from 893 parent-child pairs in Shanghai.
resultsThe study found a significant negative correlation between maternal parental psychological flexibility and child problem behavior, with maternal authoritative and authoritarian parenting styles mediating this relationship. Conversely, paternal parental psychological flexibility exhibited no significant direct impact on child problem behavior, possibly influenced by traditional gender roles and the primary caregiver effect.
conclusionsThis research extends the Reactance-Inhibition Model and the Spillover Hypothesis Theory, elucidating the complex dynamics of family interactions. Practical implications underscore the importance of interventions such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and professional parenting training to enhance parental flexibility and implement effective parenting styles. Overall, this study contributes to understanding family dynamics and informs strategies for promoting healthy child development within different cultural contexts.
