- Abstract
The study set out to indentify the differences and the similarities in the parental practices of mothers and fathers of kindergarten children known to exhibit problem behaviour (n = 109) as it relates to parenting a son or a daughter. The results obtained from self-reported parental measurements and direct observation of the parent-child dyad in a play situation revealed a greater complicity in dyads of the same sex during the play situation and, in opposite sex dyads, a significant link between the expression of negative parental emotions during interactions and problem behaviour in children. In girls, negative interactions with both parents, particularly the hostile disciplinary practices used by the mother, seem to be associated with problem behaviour; in boys, the mother's feeling of inadequacy and the poor quality of the father's presence seem more closely linked with these difficulties.
