The relationships between coping strategies, goal adjustment and positive and negative affect were studied in 83 definitive involuntary childless people. Self-report questionnaires were filled out. The findings suggested that positive ways to handle the childlessness were related to positive affect, while negative ways to deal with the childlessness were related to negative affect. Cognitive coping strategies seemed to have a stronger influence on affect than the behavioral coping strategies. Adjusting the goal to have children seemed to be a fruitful way to cope. These findings suggested that intervention programs should pay attention to both cognitive coping strategies and goal adjustment.
在83名最终非自愿无子女的人群中,研究了应对策略、目标调整与正负情绪之间的关系。研究对象填写了自我报告问卷。研究结果表明,应对无子女状况的积极方式与积极情绪相关,而应对无子女状况的消极方式与消极情绪相关。认知应对策略似乎比行为应对策略对情绪的影响更大。调整生育目标似乎是一种有效的应对方式。这些研究结果表明,干预项目应同时关注认知应对策略和目标调整。
