Paternal parenting, child temperament, and problem behaviour: An investigation among young Hong Kong children

This study examined the interplay between child temperament and paternal parenting with regard to problem behaviour among Chinese preschoolers. Both mothers and fathers reported child behaviour problems, emotionality, persistence, and their parenting behaviour. Both emotionality and persistence interacted with aversive paternal parenting in relation to child externalizing behaviours, controlling for maternal parenting.
