The quality of the parents' marital bond and their ability to work together in the parenting role were examined for the parents of school-aged children (ages 6-18) with mild and moderate mental retardation (n = 38) and a comparable group of parents of typically developing children (n = 34). Significantly more negative functioning for the parents of mentally retarded children was observed during marital interactions, and parent-child interactions but was not reflected in their self-reports of marriage and parenting, suggesting that expectations about marital and parenting strains may modulate negative sentiments for these parents. Across both groups, marital quality and the parenting partnership, together with child behavior problems, accounted for 23% to 53% of the variance in parenting confidence and in aversive parent-child exchanges. Negative marital interaction was a particularly important predictor of aversive parent-child exchanges.
研究考察了患有轻度和中度智力障碍的学龄儿童（6至18岁）的父母（n = 38）以及一组发育正常儿童的父母（n = 34）的婚姻关系质量及其在养育子女角色中共同协作的能力。在婚姻互动和亲子互动中，观察到智力障碍儿童的父母存在明显更多的消极功能，但这并未反映在他们对婚姻和养育子女的自我报告中，这表明对婚姻和养育压力的预期可能会调节这些父母的消极情绪。在两组中，婚姻质量、养育伙伴关系以及儿童行为问题，共同解释了养育信心和厌恶型亲子互动中23%至53%的变异。消极的婚姻互动是厌恶型亲子互动的一个特别重要的预测因素。
