Parental Type D Personality and Children's Hyperactive Behaviors: The Mediating Role of Parent⁻Child Interactive Activities.

ABSTRACT: This study explored the associations between parental Type D personality (TDP), parent⁻child interactive activities, and children's hyperactive behaviors. Moreover, the study examined whether parent⁻child interactive activities mediated the associations between parental TDP and children's hyperactive behaviors. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among children from all kindergartens in a district of a southern city in China. Data on parental TDP, the frequency of parent⁻child interactive activities, children's hyperactive behaviors, and socio-demographic characteristics were provided by 47,648 parent⁻child dyads. Multiple regression analysis was employed to assess the associations between parental TDP, parent⁻child interactive activities, and children's hyperactive behaviors. Mediation
