Resumo(s)
This study examined the mediating effect of parenting styles in the relationship between
parenting stress and children’s socio-emotional adjustment through Structural Equation
Modeling. The moderating role of parent and child gender was also examined by means of a
multi-group analysis. A sample of 552 mothers and 501 fathers of Portuguese families with
preschoolers participated in the study. Mothers and fathers independently completed selfreport measures to evaluate parenting stress, parenting styles and the child’s socio-emotional
adjustment (children’s social skills, internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems). Results
regarding direct effects indicated that mothers’ and fathers’ stress contributed to the child’s
social skills. Additionally, results showed indirect effects: fathers’ authoritative parenting
mediated the link between fathers’ stress and social skills, regardless of the gender of the child,
while for mothers, the corresponding mediation effect was only observed for daughters; fathers’
authoritarian parenting mediated daughters’ externalizing problems while fathers’ permissive
parenting mediated daughters’ internalizing problems. Overall, this study emphasizes the
importance of both parents for the adjustment of their children, in addition to the need to
examine dyadic parent–preschooler relationships, given that the results suggest some specificity
in the processes responsible for direct and indirect effects.
