We work from a life-course perspective to explore how relationships with parents affect adult children's marital quality. We further ask whether the effects of parents on adult children's marital quality depend on the adult child's gender, age, marital duration, and childhood family experiences. Growth-curve analysis of national, longitudinal data (Americans' Changing Lives) indicated that relationships with fathers (n = 336) and mothers (n = 520) differentially affected the marital quality of adult children over time. Findings suggest that the effects of the parent - adult child relationship on adult children's marriages depend on age, marital duration, and levels of family stress experienced in childhood.
我们从生命历程的视角展开研究，以探讨与父母的关系如何影响成年子女的婚姻质量。我们还进一步探究父母对成年子女婚姻质量的影响是否取决于成年子女的性别、年龄、婚姻时长以及童年时期的家庭经历。对全国性纵向数据（“美国人生活的变化”）进行的增长曲线分析表明，随着时间推移，与父亲（n = 336）和母亲（n = 520）的关系对成年子女婚姻质量的影响存在差异。研究结果表明，父母与成年子女的关系对成年子女婚姻的影响取决于年龄、婚姻时长以及童年时期所经历的家庭压力水平。
