Commitment has long been hypothesized to increase across the transition to parenthood, even though much research has found that relationship functioning declines during this period. We examined change in interpersonal commitment, measured as personal dedication and relationship confidence, and constraint commitment, measured as felt constraint, across the transition to parenthood. We tested for marital status differences in the change in commitment across the transition among three groups: cohabitation, marriage preceded by cohabitation, and direct marriage. Data came from the New Parents Project, a community sample of 173 married and cohabiting couples. Difference-in-difference estimates indicated that cohabiting fathers, in comparison to married fathers, dropped further in personal dedication and relationship confidence and increased more in felt constraint across the transition to parenthood. No significant differences across the transition were found between cohabiting and married mothers. Further research on the transition to parenthood among unmarried couples is suggested.
长期以来，人们一直假设，在向为人父母的转变过程中，承诺会增加，尽管大量研究发现，在此期间人际关系的功能会下降。我们研究了人际承诺（以个人奉献和关系信心来衡量）和约束承诺（以感受到的约束来衡量）在向为人父母转变过程中的变化。我们测试了三组人群在向为人父母转变过程中承诺变化的婚姻状况差异：同居、先同居后结婚以及直接结婚。数据来自新父母项目，这是一个由173对已婚和同居夫妇组成的社区样本。差分估计表明，与已婚父亲相比，同居父亲在向为人父母的转变过程中，个人奉献和关系信心下降得更多，而感受到的约束增加得更多。同居母亲和已婚母亲在转变过程中没有发现显著差异。建议对未婚夫妇向为人父母的转变进行进一步研究。
