摘要：The aim of the study was to determine the influence of potential risk factors and protective factors on parents' psychological well-being and child-rearing practices. Data about socio-demographic variables, financial stress, depressive symptoms, perceived social support and parental practices (support, monitoring, involvement and joint decision-making) were collected from mothers and fathers from 287 two-parent and 283 lone-parent families. The results showed that financial hardship was the main predictor of parental depression and that parents who were more depressed were less involved in child-rearing, knew less about children's daily activities and provided children with less support. The influence of social support on parental practices was found to differ according to type of support. Instrumental support to parents contributed to higher parental support, monitoring and joint decision-making while emotional support from friends contributed to higher involvement in child-rearing. Support from friends and instrumental support moderated negative influence of financial stress and depression on parental monitoring.
