The authors investigated whether the quality of three family relationships (i.e., marital, parent-child, sibling) in intact families are associated with each other and with children's psychosocial adjustment. Data were collected by means of maternal and child reports (N = 88) using standardized instruments (i.e., Marital Satisfaction Scale, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire). The findings confirm associations between the marital and the parent-child relationship, and between the parent-child and the sibling relationship, Further, both father-child relationships and sibling relationships predict children's adjustment. Father-child conflicts contribute to children's problem behavior, while father-child acceptance and sibling affection contribute significantly to children's general self-esteem. However, contrary to previous studies no support was found for the association between marital relationship and sibling relationship, or for that between marital relationship quality and children's adjustment.
作者调查了完整家庭中三种家庭关系（即婚姻关系、亲子关系、手足关系）的质量是否相互关联，以及是否与儿童的心理社会适应相关。数据通过母婴报告（N = 88）收集，使用标准化工具（即婚姻满意度量表、长处和困难问卷）。研究结果证实了婚姻关系与亲子关系之间、亲子关系与手足关系之间存在关联。此外，父子关系和手足关系都能预测儿童的适应情况。父子冲突会导致儿童出现问题行为，而父子间的接纳和手足间的情感对儿童的总体自尊有显著贡献。然而，与之前的研究相反，未发现婚姻关系与手足关系之间、婚姻关系质量与儿童适应之间存在关联。
