Abstract: This study adopted the gene-environment interaction design to investigate the effect of the MAOA rs6323 gene polymorphism and parenting patterns of mother and father on the preschool children's externalizing behaviors, and to explore whether the gene-environment interaction can be moderated by gender among 295 preschool children (M=4.49). The main results were as follows: There were significant gender differences in the relations between parenting patterns and preschoolers' externalizing problem behaviors. Specifically, the main effects of parenting styles of mothers and fathers were significant when predicting the behavior of boys' externalization problems behaviors,but the interaction was not significant. In predicting girls' externalizing problem behaviors, the main effect of father's parenting style was significant, and the interaction between mother's parenting style and the rs6323 polymorphism of MAOA gene was also significant. Further significant regional analysis found that girls with T allele were more likely to suffer from the adverse effects of their mothers' negative parenting, resulting in more externalizing problem behaviors, Additionally, there were also more likely to be affected by positive parenting and had less externalize problem behaviors. This result supports the theoretical model of differential susceptibility.

Key words: parenting style, MAOA gene, rs6323 polymorphism, externalizing problem behaviors, preschool children
