This study examined how mother and father-child relationship quality and marital forgiveness were related to early adolescents' forgiveness of mothers and fathers. Adolescents' social-cognitive skills (empathy and emotional regulation) and parents' forgiveness of child were examined as mediators. Mother, father, and child self-reported questionnaires and observational data were taken from Time 1 and Time 3 (two years later) of the Flourishing Families Project, and included 334 two-parent families with an early adolescent (M age at Time 1 = 11.24; 51% male; 76% Caucasian). Using path analyses via structure equation modeling, mother-child relationship quality and adolescents' own social-cognitive skills were salient correlates of adolescents' forgiveness toward parents. The unique contributions of mothers and fathers, differences by reporter, and the importance of studying forgiveness within the parent-child relationship are discussed.
本研究考察了母子/父女关系质量和婚姻宽恕如何与青少年对父母的宽恕有关。研究还考察了青少年的社会认知技能（同理心和情绪调节）和父母对孩子的宽恕是否起中介作用。母亲、父亲和孩子自我报告的问卷和观察数据来自“幸福家庭计划”的第 1 时间点（Time 1）和第 3 时间点（两年后，Time 3），包括 334 个有青少年孩子的双亲家庭（青少年在 Time 1 的平均年龄为 11.24 岁，51%为男性，76%为白种人）。通过结构方程模型的路径分析，母子关系质量和青少年自身的社会认知技能是青少年对父母宽恕的重要相关因素。研究还讨论了母亲和父亲的独特贡献、报告者之间的差异以及在亲子关系中研究宽恕的重要性。
