Objective To investigate the association of different parenting styles with emotional and behavioral problems of preschool firstborn children during transition to siblinghood(TTS), so as to provide reference for improving children′s emotional and behavioral problems. Methods A total of 882 preschool firstborn children(398 boys and 484 girls) in TTS with an average age of (3.58 ± 1.25) years old, were recruited from March to December 2019 in two tertiary facilities by a purposive sampling method. A self-designed questionnaire and parental version of Child Behavior Checklist(CBCL) were used to investigate the parenting style and emotional and behavioral problems. Multiple linear regression method was used to analyze the correlation of parenting style with emotional and behavioral problems of preschool firstborn children in TTS. Results The scores of internalization problems, externalization problems and total problems in 882 preschool firstborn children were 6.0(3.0,10.0),8.0(3.0,13.0)and 22.0(10.0,37.0), respectively. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the firstborn children with maternal autocratic parenting style, paternal autocratic parenting style and uninvolved parenting style had higher levels of internalization problems(β=0.08, 0.12, 0.12), externalizing problems(β=0.08, 0.16, 0.14) and total problems(β=0.08, 0.16, 0.14). The older firstborn children had lower scores of externalizing problems(β=-0.11) and total problems(β=-0.11), and those with harmonious family atmosphere had lower scores of internalization problems(β=-0.24), externalizing problems(β=-0.21) and total problems(β=-0.23), while those with difficult-to-raise temperament and slow-to-develop temperament had higher levels of internalization problems(β=0.16, 0.20), externalizing problems(β=0.16, 0.13) and total problems(β=0.17, 0.16)(P<0.05). Conclusion Maternal autocratic parenting style, paternal autocratic parenting style and permissive parenting style are associated with higher levels of emotional and behavioral problems of preschool firstborn children in TTS.
