Abstract
The aim of the present research was to investigate the
relationship between parenting, children’s social information
processing, and their behavioral problems. Sample of the study
consisted of 106 children (n = 52 boys; n = 54 girls), the age
range of 8 to 11 years, their mothers, and their teachers. Parent
Questionnaire (Doyle & McCarty, 2002), Home Interview with
Child (Dodge, 1986), and Child Behavior Checklist
(Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001) were used to assess parenting
behaviors, children’s social information processing, and their
behavioral problems respectively. It was hypothesized that
negative parenting will positively predict children’s behavioral
problems, positive parenting will negatively predict children’s
behavioral problems, and finally children’s hostile social
information processing will positively predict their behavioral
problems over and above parenting. Hierarchical multiple
regression analyses was used for hypotheses testing. The
results of the study provided support for the hypotheses.
