The present study examined associations between parents' levels of acculturation depressive symptoms, family support, and couple relationship quality with coparenting conflict. We also explored the effects of coparenting conflict on parenting and infant social development in a sample of low-income Mexican American (n=735) infants (age 9 months) and their parents. Results indicated that couple conflict was the strongest predictor of coparenting conflict. Coparenting conflict had a significant effect on mother-infant interaction and father engagement. The effects of coparenting on father caregiving varied by father's level of acculturation; when there is high coparenting conflict, more acculturated fathers engaged in more caregiving than less acculturated fathers. Coparenting conflict was not predictive of infant social development.
本研究考察了父母的文化适应水平、抑郁症状、家庭支持以及夫妻关系质量与共同养育冲突之间的关联。我们还在一个低收入墨西哥裔美国人样本（n = 735）中，探究了共同养育冲突对养育方式和婴儿社会发展的影响，该样本中的婴儿年龄为9个月，其父母参与了研究。结果表明，夫妻冲突是共同养育冲突的最强预测因素。共同养育冲突对母婴互动和父亲参与度有显著影响。共同养育对父亲照料的影响因父亲的文化适应水平而异；当共同养育冲突程度较高时，文化适应程度较高的父亲比文化适应程度较低的父亲参与更多的照料。共同养育冲突并不能预测婴儿的社会发展。
