Early parenting and children\u27s relational and physical aggression in the preschool and home contexts
This study investigated early parent- child relationships and how children\u27s use of relational and physical aggression varies with aspects of those relationships during the preschool years. Specifically, parenting styles, parents\u27 use of psychological control, and parents\u27 report of their children\u27s reunion behaviors were assessed. Analyses revealed significant associations between children\u27s use of both relational and physical aggression and parents\u27 reports of their own and their partner\u27s parenting style, psychological control behaviors, and indicators of the attachment relationship. The results highlight the importance of investigating both mothers\u27 and fathers\u27 parenting and the sex of the child in studies of potential links between parenting behaviors and young children’s relational and physical aggression. Findings were considered in the context of each perspective and suggestions for future research and implications for intervention and prevention are discussed
Enfoques de métodos mixtos en la investigación en ciencia de familia
Los complejos fenómenos de interés para los cientÃficos de familia requieren
el uso de enfoques cuantitativos y cualitativos. Los investigadores de las ciencias sociales se están cambiando a los diseños de métodos mixtos que combinan estos dos enfoques. La mezcla de métodos de investigación es muy prometedora para abordar los
temas de la ciencia de familia, pero sólo si los investigadores entienden las opciones
de diseño y los procedimientos que acompañan a esta opción metodológica. Las
discusiones sobre los métodos mixtos en la literatura de la ciencia de familia son
difÃciles de localizar, y poco se ha escrito acerca de cómo los cientÃficos de familia
aplican este enfoque en la práctica. Este artÃculo presenta una visión general de los
métodos de investigación mixtos, incluyendo su definición, la terminologÃa y los tipos
de diseño, y examina cómo se está utilizando con éxito, y se publica en revistas de investigación de familia. Las autoras revisaron la aplicación de diseños de métodos mixtos en 19 estudios, analizan las caracterÃsticas de diseño y los problemas que surgieron durante la ejecución. Ellas concluyen con recomendaciones para los cientÃficos de familia considerando el uso de este enfoque. (1543
Family income, parent education, and perceived constraints as predictors of observed program quality and parent rated program quality
Influencing Self-Reported Health Among Rural Low-Income Women Through Health Care and Social Service Utilization: A Structural Equation Model

Family income, parent education, and perceived constraints as predictors of observed program quality and parent rated program quality
Observed child care quality and parent perceptions of child care quality received by children in poor (below Federal Poverty Line, FPL), low-income (between FPL and 200% of FPL), and non-low-income families were examined. Observations were completed in 359 center- and home-based child care programs in four Midwestern states and surveys were received from 1313 parents whose children were enrolled in these programs. Multilevel structural equation modeling revealed that programs with higher proportions of low-income families tend to have lower observed quality than programs with a higher proportion of non-low-income families. Programs with more educated parents tended to have better observed quality, however, more educated parents tended to have lower perceptions of quality
