| Sumario: | A study was conducted to test a theory-based model of variables expected to influence protective parent-child interactions. Data were drawn from 209 families to explore parent behavioral conventionality influences on effective child management and parent-child affective quality, the effects of effective child management on parent-child affective quality, and the effects of parenting skills intervention attendance on these parent-child interactions. Results revealed strong support for the general model for both mothers and fathers, especially when the effect of pretest affective quality on post-intervention test child management was accounted for. Moreover, child management behaviors were found to mediate both parent conventionality and intervention attendance effects on affective quality, although these findings differed for mothers and fathers.
