The current study examined the coparenting and toddler's interactive styles in family coalitions. According to structural family theory, boundaries between generations are clear in alliances, but disturbed in coalitions: the parents look to the child to regulate their conflictual relationship and the child attempts to meet this need. In a normative sample studied longitudinally during the Lausanne Trilogue Play situation (LTP, N=38), 15 coalition cases were detected. Styles of coparenting and of child's interactions were determined and compared in coalition and alliance cases at 18 months. Findings confirm the structural family model by showing the specific ways in which the coparenting and the toddler's interactive styles are associated in 3 different patterns of coalitions: binding, detouring, and triangulation. They illustrate how the child's triangular capacity, or her ability to simultaneously communicate with both parents, is used to regulate the parents' relationship. They suggest that the LTP observational paradigm is a promising assessment method of early family interactions. They point to the importance of assessing early the child's contribution to family coalitions.
本研究考察了家庭联盟中的共同养育和幼儿互动风格。根据结构家庭理论，代际之间的界限在联盟中是明确的，但在联盟中是混乱的：父母希望孩子来调节他们的冲突关系，而孩子试图满足这种需求。在洛桑三联游戏情境（LTP）中进行的纵向研究的规范样本中（N=38），检测到 15 个联盟案例。在 18 个月时，在联盟和联盟案例中确定并比较了共同养育和儿童互动的风格。研究结果证实了结构家庭模型，表明共同养育和幼儿互动风格在 3 种不同的联盟模式中以特定方式相关：绑定、迂回和三角化。它们说明了孩子的三角能力，即她同时与父母双方沟通的能力，是如何用来调节父母关系的。它们表明，LTP 观察范式是一种很有前途的早期家庭互动评估方法。它们指出了评估孩子对家庭联盟贡献的重要性。
