With the rapid progress of science and technology, the impact of electronic products such as Ipads, smart phones, computers and so on on family relationships and children's healthy growth is becoming more and more prominent. The popularity and widespread use of electronic products has given rise to a worrying trend where people are often head down and addicted to these devices, leading to disruption of interpersonal communication and interaction. Parents, as the primary guardians of children, are unable to meet children's emotional needs due to their own frequent head-down behaviour, leading to a decline in the quality of parent-child communication, which tends to cause children's dissatisfaction and anger, and even causes children to draw parental attention to themselves through problematic behaviours. This study aims to explore the relationship between parents' head-down behaviour and preschool children's problematic behaviours, in order to better prevent the emergence of children's problematic behaviours and promote children's healthy growth.
Study 1: A quantitative research method was used, 751 questionnaires were distributed through the questionnaire method, 612 valid questionnaires were recovered, administered through the Parental Low Headedness Behaviour Scale, Parenting Styles Scale, Parent-Child Relationships Scale and Children's Problematic Behaviours Scale, and the data were statistically analysed through the statistical software of SPSS24.0 and Mplus8.0, and the Chained Mediation Model was established. The results showed that parental head-down behaviour positively predicted children's problematic behaviour; parenting style significantly mediated between parental head-down behaviour and preschool children's problematic behaviour; parent-child relationship significantly mediated between parental head-down behaviour and preschool children's problematic behaviour; and there was a chain mediation between parenting style, parent-child relationship and parental head-down behaviour and preschool children's problematic behaviour.
Study 2: Using qualitative interviews and referring to previous literature, the top 27% and bottom 27% of individuals in the families of preschool children in Study 1 were selected and divided into high (N=171) and low (N=167) groups according to statistical criteria, and significant differences between the high and low scoring groups in terms of total scores of parental head-down behaviour of preschoolers were found by applying an independent samples t-test. difference between the high and low scoring subgroups. Six groups of families, to talling 12 parents, were selected from the high- and low-scoring groups by convenience sampling for in-depth interviews. For qualitative coding, we coded two groups: a low low head-down behaviour group for those with low head-down behaviour scores and a high low head-down behaviour group for those with high head-down behaviour scores. The aim was to reveal the reality of parental headlessness in families in the high headlessness group and to explore the underlying causes of the higher levels of this behaviour, as well as to suggest more effective ways of targeting the causes of parental headlessness by referring to families in the low headlessness group as a control and learning from how parents in the low group relate to their children. The results showed that although all parents were aware of the potential negative effects of head-down behaviours, there were differences in their perceptions of these behaviours, their reactions to them and their strategies for modifying them.
In summary, this study concludes:
(1) Parental head-down behaviour positively predicts preschoolers' problematic behaviours, with parenting style and parent-child relationship acting as chain mediators;
(2) Significant differences were found between parents in the high and low head-down behaviour groups in terms of strategic choices and depth of understanding when responding to their own head-down behaviour. Parents in the low head-down behaviour group tended to pass on their behaviour as a norm to their children, while parents in the high head-down behaviour group tended to use head-down behaviour as a way to satisfy their psychological needs. |
