Zusammenfassung: | Parental practices such as inconsistent discipline, psychological control, and imposition have been linked to the development of internalizing and externalizing problem behaviors in preadolescents. This study aimed to identify the association these practices had on Mexican preadolescent problem behaviors through Structural Equation Modeling. The sample consisted of 306 elementary students from three public schools in Mexico City (age M = 10, SD = 0.92). Students completed subscales from the Parental Practice Scale, the Alabama Parenting Questionnaire, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Paternal imposition and maternal psychological control were significant predictors for internalizing problems, while inconsistent discipline was a significant predictor of externalizing problems. The results highlight that although parental practice values might differ across cultures, their association to problem behaviors are similar. Las practicas parentales como disciplina inconsistente, control psicologico e imposicion se han vinculado con el desarrollo de problemas de conducta internalizada y externalizada en preadolescentes. Este estudio busco identificar la asociacion de estas practicas en el desarrollo de problemas de conducta en preadolescentes mexicanos, a traves de ecuaciones estructurales (306 estudiantes de primarias publicas en la Ciudad de Mexico, Edad M = 10, DE = 0.92). Los estudiantes completaron Escalas de Practicas Parentales, el Cuestionario de Parentalidad de Alabama, asi como el Cuestionario de Fortalezas y Dificultades. La imposicion paterna y el control psicologico materno predijeron problemas internalizados, mientras que la disciplina inconsistente fue un predictor de externalizados. Los resultados demuestran que aunque los valores detras de las practicas parentales difieran entre culturas, sus asociaciones con los problemas de conducta son similares. Keywords.
