Results A total of ninety-six 2nd-generation single (G2) children were enrolled in this study,with average age of (4.67 ±0.69) years old.The prevalence of internalizing,externalizing,and total behavioral problems in G2 children were 25.0%,37.5%,and 37.5%.Logistic regression analysis indicated that boys (OR=1.613,95% CI:1.021~2.549),difficult temperament (OR=7.111,95% CI:3.028~16.701),and mothers′ recognition on the value of delivery to marriage (OR=9.38,95% CI:4.321~20.358) were risk factors of behavioral problems.The protective factors of behavioral problems included nuclear family (OR=0.366,95% CI:0.209~0.643),parents with college or above education (ORmother=0.491,95% CI:0.265~ 0.910; ORfather=0.427,95% CI:0.192~0.948),mother with relaxed mood after delivery(OR=0.294,95% CI:0.158~0.550),children′s social interaction (OR=0.402,95% CI:0.225~0.721),and parents′ attention to behavioral development (OR=0.084,95% CI:0.013~0.551).
