Results showed that mothers from families with higher SES were more likely to be employed, raise fewer children, exhibit higher maternal parenting efficacy, and follow responsive parenting style. Moreover, their children presented better adjustment (mothers’ report) and receptive vocabulary ability. After all variables of this model were controlled for, family SES was found to have a direct positive impact on children’s receptive vocabulary ability, and the integrated responsive and demanding parenting style had a positive influence on children’s language ability. Furthermore, SES exhibited no significant relationship with children’s maladjustment. However, through the mediation of parenting efficacy, SES had a negative impact on children’s maladjustment. In addition, demanding parenting practices had a positive impact on children’s maladjustment (mothers’ report). In summary, SES was found to be intricately associated with maternal parenting efficacy, preschoolers’ adjustment, and receptive vocabulary ability in different processes. The current study’s results can provide a reference for future studies on maternal parenting efficacy, parenting factors, preschoolers’ adjustment, and receptive vocabulary ability.
