    Antecedentes: la frecuencia del trastorno negativista desafiante (TND) y las consecuencias negativas a largo plazo hacen que la comprensión de este trastorno sea una prioridad. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el papel mediador de determinadas prácticas educativas en la relación entre la psicopatología de los padres y el TND de los hijos. Método: una muestra comunitaria de 622 niños se evaluó longitudinalmente a los 3 y 5 años. Resultados: a los 3 y 5 años el castigo corporal medió la relación entre la ansiedad - depresión de la madre y TND (en las niñas), entre el comportamiento agresivo de la madre y TND (en los niños) y entre la ruptura de normas de las madres y TND en ambos sexos. Existe una asociación directa entre la puntuación de la conducta agresiva de la madre y el TND. El estilo educativo del padre no medió la asociación entre la psicopatología del padre y TND. Ansiedad - depresión y comportamiento agresivo del padre se asoció directamente con TND. Conclusiones: se debe explorar la psicopatología parental en familias de niños con TND y considerar las prácticas educativas como variables relevantes para la prevención y el tratamiento del TND.

    Background: Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is very frequent in preschoolers. The severity and the long-term negative outcomes make the understanding of this disorder a priority. The goal in this study was to assess the mediating role of parenting practices in the relationship between parents' psychopathology and ODD in preschoolers. Method: A community sample of 622 children was assessed longitudinally at age 3 and age 5. Parents reported on children's psychopathology through a diagnostic interview, and on their own psychological state and parenting style through questionnaires. Results: At ages 3 and 5, corporal punishment mediated the relationships between mothers' anxiety-depression and ODD (in girls), between mothers' aggressive behavior and ODD (in boys), and between parents' rule-breaking and ODD both in boys and girls. For both sexes, there was a direct association between mothers' aggressive behavior score and ODD. The association between fathers' psychopathology and ODD was not mediated by the fathers' parenting practices. Fathers' anxiety-depression and aggressive behavior scores were directly associated with ODD. Conclusions: Parents' psychopathology must be explored and, in families where such psychopathology is a relevant variable, parenting practices must be addressed with a view to the prevention and treatment of children's ODD in the preschool year
