This study considered how mothers' and fathers' inhibitory control, an aspect of executive functioning (EF) that reflects how well an individual can suppress a dominant response to perform a subdominant response, is associated with observations of their parenting quality when children were 7.5 years old. Furthermore, aspects of the daily home environment may strengthen or undermine parents' ability to draw on their inhibitory control and exhibit high-quality parenting. Household chaos, including clutter, confusion, and ambient noise, may impair parents' ability to successfully activate inhibitory control and engage in high-quality parenting. Thus, additional analyses examined whether parents' perceptions of household chaos moderated associations between inhibitory control and parenting. Data came from a sample of approximately 102 families headed by different-sex parents (n = 99 mothers; n = 90 fathers) of 7.5-year-old children who participated in a study of family development. Findings from multilevel models indicated that inhibitory control predicted greater positive-sensitive parenting in contexts of low household chaos. Associations between inhibitory control and parenting quality were not statistically significant in contexts of average or high household chaos. These findings highlight the importance of considering household chaos and inhibitory control as factors associated with parenting quality for fathers and mothers.

家庭混乱是父母抑制控制与养育质量之间联系的调节因素。

这项研究考虑了母亲和父亲的抑制控制（执行功能（EF）的一个方面，反映了个体抑制主导反应以执行次主导反应的能力）如何与孩子 7.5 岁时观察到的养育质量相关联。老的。此外，日常家庭环境的各个方面可能会增强或削弱父母利用抑制控制和表现出高质量养育方式的能力。家庭混乱，包括混乱、混乱和环境噪音，可能会损害父母成功激活抑制控制和进行高质量养育的能力。因此，额外的分析检验了父母对家庭混乱的看法是否调节了抑制控制和养育子女之间的联系。数据来自大约 102 个由不同性别父母（n = 99 名母亲；n = 90 名父亲）为 7.5 岁儿童的家庭样本，这些家庭参与了一项家庭发展研究。多层次模型的研究结果表明，在家庭混乱度较低的情况下，抑制控制预示着更加积极敏感的养育方式。在平均或高度家庭混乱的情况下，抑制控制和养育质量之间的关联在统计上不显着。这些发现强调了将家庭混乱和抑制控制视为与父母养育质量相关的因素的重要性。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
