Inkonsistentes Erziehungsverhalten

Ein Risikofaktor für aggressives Verhalten?

Published Online:September 02, 2008https://doi.org/10.1024/1661-4747.56.4.285

Abstract

Ein negatives Erziehungsverhalten, besonders inkonsistentes Verhalten und ein geringes elterliches Engagement, gelten als wichtige Risikofaktoren für aggressives Verhalten von Kindern. Im Zusammenhang mit affektiven Auffälligkeiten, wie Affektarmut und Emotionslosigkeit als Psychopathiemerkmale, wird jedoch diskutiert, ob diese den Zusammenhang zwischen aggressivem Verhalten und Erziehung moderieren. In einer Stichprobe von Kindergartenkindern und Kindern der ersten Klassen (N = 177) wurde die potenziell moderierende Rolle von Psychopathiemerkmalen untersucht. In der vorliegenden Stichprobe wurde nur für Jungen mit geringen Psychopathiemerkmalen ein Zusammenhang zwischen inkonsistentem Erziehungsverhalten und aggressivem Verhalten gefunden. Jungen mit erhöhten Psychopathiemerkmalen zeigten unabhängig vom Erziehungsverhalten immer ausgeprägt aggressives Verhalten. Für Mädchen stand hingegen nur inkonsistentes Erziehungsverhalten und elterliches Engagement mit aggressivem Verhalten im Zusammenhang, aber nicht die affektiven Auffälligkeiten.


Inconsistent Parental Discipline – A Risk Factor for Aggressive Behavior?

Inconsistent parental discipline and low involvement are considered to be important risk factors of aggressive behavior in childhood. However, in conjunction with callous-unemotional traits as markers for psychopathy, parenting behavior may be less relevant for explaining aggressive behavior. A sample of kindergarten and first graders (N = 177) was investigated for a potential interaction between parenting quality (inconsistent discipline and low involvement), callous-unemotional traits in the child and aggressive behavior. Inconsistent parenting was associated with aggressive behavior only in boys without elevated levels of callous-unemotional traits. In contrast, children high on these traits exhibited aggressive behavior, regardless of parenting quality they experience. For girls, only inconsistent discipline and low parental involvement predict aggressive behavior, while callous-unemotional traits do not.
