Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the meaning of coparenting in two-parent families through examining the relationships among coparenting, parenting behaviors and preschooler's effortful control. Method: In this study, the subjects consisted of 106 preschoolers and their fathers and mothers. Coparenting was assessed by Coparenting Scale, parenting behaviors were assessed by Parenting Styles and Dimensions(PSD), and preschooler's effortful control was assessed by Children's Behavior Questionnaire(CBQ). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way MANOVA, paired t-test, and correlations. Also, SPSS Macro and bootstrapping methods were used to assess the mediation effects of paternal and maternal parenting behaviors in the relationship between coparenting and preschooler's effortful control. Results: The major results of this study were as follows. First, there were significant differences in the level of coparenting by income and paternal education level, while there were not significant differences by preschooler's gender and age. Second, there were significant differences between paternal perception and maternal perception in the coparenting level. Third, there were significant correlations among coparenting, parenting behaviors and preschooler's effortful control. Forth, the effects of coparenting on preschooler's effortful control were not significantly mediated by paternal parenting behaviors. Fifth, maternal parenting behaviors mediated the effects of coparenting upon preschooler's effortful control, however. Conclusions: This study revealed that coparenting has significant impact on paternal and maternal parenting behaviors, as well as preschooler's effortful control.
