Abstract
The aim of the current study was to investigate the mediating role
of social information processing between parenting and children’s
behavioral problems. It was hypothesized that children’s social
information processing will mediate between parenting and their
behavioral problems. The sample consisted of 106 children (n = 52
boys; n = 54 girls; age range 8 to 11 years) their mothers and their
teachers. The Parent Questionnaire, the Home Interview with Child
and the Child Behavior Checklist were used to assess parenting
behaviors, children’s social information processing and their
behavioral problems, respectively. Multiple regression analysis
was used for hypothesis testing which provided partial support for
the hypothesis indicating that children’s hostile social information
processing completely mediated associations between negative
parenting and their behavioral problems but with positive parenting
as a predictor within this link children’s hostile social information
processing partially mediated associations between positive
parenting and their behavioral problems.
