This study addresses two limitations of coparenting research: first, little research on coparenting has been conducted with families of adolescents, and second, there is little understanding regarding the child and family contexts in which coparenting is most salient. The longitudinal relation of coparenting conflict to parenting and adolescent maladjustment across 3 years was investigated among 516 2-parent, 2-adolescent families. Coparenting conflict predicted as much or more unique variance in parenting and adolescent adjustment as did marital quality and disagreement together. After controlling for stability, coparenting conflict predicted mothers' and fathers' negativity and adolescent antisocial behavior (but not depression). Importantly, the influence of coparenting conflict in all cases varied as a function of family type, adolescent gender, or initial level of antisocial behavior, or all. The implications of these results for family processes in different relational and developmental contexts are discussed.
第一,针对青少年家庭开展的共同养育研究很少;第二,对于共同养育最为显著的儿童和家庭背景了解甚少。在516个双亲、两个青少年的家庭中,对共同养育冲突与养育方式及青少年适应不良之间3年的纵向关系进行了调查。共同养育冲突在养育方式和青少年适应方面所预测的独特方差,与婚姻质量和分歧加起来所预测的一样多,甚至更多。在控制了稳定性之后,共同养育冲突能够预测母亲和父亲的消极情绪以及青少年的反社会行为(但不能预测抑郁)。重要的是,在所有情况下,共同养育冲突的影响会因家庭类型、青少年性别或反社会行为的初始水平,或三者共同作用而有所不同。本文讨论了这些结果对不同关系和发展背景下家庭过程的启示。
