This study addressed the potential impact of serial migration for parent-children relationships and for children's psychological well-being. The experience of being separated from their parents during childhood and reunited with them at a later time was retrospectively examined for 48 individuals. A series of measures (e.g., self-esteem, parental identification) associated with appraisals at critical time periods during serial migration (separation, reunion, current) revealed that serial migration can potentially disrupt parent-child bonding and unfavorably affect children's self-esteem and behavior. Time did not appear to be wholly effective in repairing rifts in the parent-child relationship. Risk factors for less successful reunions included lengthy separations and the addition of new members to the family unit in the child's absence.
本研究探讨了连续迁移对亲子关系及儿童心理健康的潜在影响。对48名个体进行了回顾性调查，了解他们童年时期与父母分离并在后来团聚的经历。一系列与连续迁移关键时期（分离、团聚、当前）评估相关的测量指标（如自尊、对父母的认同）显示，连续迁移可能会破坏亲子关系，并对儿童的自尊和行为产生不利影响。时间似乎并不能完全修复亲子关系中的裂痕。团聚不太成功的风险因素包括长时间分离以及在孩子不在场时家庭中新增成员。
