Resumen:
Parental practices such as inconsistent discipline, psychological
control, and imposition have been linked to the development of
internalizing and externalizing problem behaviors in preadolescents.
This study aimed to identify the association these practices had on
Mexican preadolescent problem behaviors through Structural Equation
Modeling. The sample consisted of 306 elementary students from three
public schools in Mexico City (age M = 10, SD = 0.92). Students
completed subscales from the Parental Practice Scale, the Alabama
Parenting Questionnaire, and the Strengths and Difficulties
Questionnaire. Paternal imposition and maternal psychological control
were significant predictors for internalizing problems, while
inconsistent discipline was a significant predictor of externalizing
problems. The results highlight that although parental practice values
might differ across cultures, their association to problem behaviors are
similar.
