Abstract

Parental adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may represent a risk for offspring school readiness. Previous studies suggested that children's psychological resilience may mediate between the intergenerational transmission of parental ACEs and offspring school readiness. Using structural equation modeling, our study aimed to explore the role of psychological resilience in the association between parental ACEs and preschool readiness. A sample of 711 Chinese parents of preschool children aged three (53.3% boys) and their kindergarten teachers participated in this research. Parents reported their ACEs and their children's psychological resilience, whereas teachers reported children's preschool readiness. Parental ACEs directly affect children's social competence, learning disposition, and classroom rules. Psychological resilience mediated the pathways from parental ACEs to self-care abilities, emotional maturity, cognitive and communicative skills, and social competence learning dispositions. This study highlights the importance of parental ACEs and psychological resilience in preschool readiness. Specific interventions related to children's psychological resilience should help break the intergenerational cycle of ACEs in preschool readiness.

父母童年不良经历与子女学前准备的关系：心理弹性的中介作用。

父母不良的童年经历（ace）可能对后代的入学准备构成风险。先前的研究表明，儿童的心理弹性可能在父母ace的代际传递和后代的入学准备之间起中介作用。本研究采用结构方程模型，探讨心理弹性在父母ace与学前准备的关系中的作用。本研究样本为711名中国3岁学龄前儿童的家长（53.3%为男孩）及其幼儿园教师。父母报告他们的ace和孩子的心理弹性，而老师报告孩子的学前准备。父母的ace直接影响孩子的社会能力、学习倾向和课堂规则。心理弹性在父母不良经历对自我照顾能力、情绪成熟度、认知和沟通能力、社会能力学习倾向的影响中起中介作用。本研究强调了父母ace和心理弹性在学前准备中的重要性。与儿童心理弹性相关的具体干预措施应有助于打破ace在学前准备方面的代际循环。
