The impact of conflict on co-parenting outcomes of divorce education programs is not widely explored in the literature despite the prevalence of conflict in divorce. This study used outcome data from a sample of participants (N=272) who took the online Parents Forever™ course between 2012 and 2014. Participants were asked questions about positive and negative co-parenting behaviors as well their levels of conflict before and after the divorce or separation. There was on average a slight increase in conflict from post to follow-up (M=-0.397, SD=1.54). Simple linear regression analyses indicated that change in conflict explained a significant proportion of the variance in positive co-parenting scores, R=0.07, F(1, 270)=19.98, p<0.001 and negative co-parenting scores, R=0.08, F(1, 270)=23.78, p<0.001. Results suggest that conflict significantly impacts co-parenting behaviors targeted in the Parents Forever ™ course.
尽管离婚冲突普遍存在,但冲突对离婚教育项目共同养育结果的影响在文献中并未得到广泛探讨。本研究使用了2012年至2014年间参加在线“永远的父母”™课程的参与者样本(N = 272)的结果数据。参与者被问及有关积极和消极共同养育行为的问题,以及他们在离婚或分居前后的冲突程度。从离婚后到随访期间,冲突平均略有增加(M = -0.397,SD = 1.54)。简单线性回归分析表明,冲突的变化解释了积极共同养育得分方差的很大一部分,R = 0.07,F(1, 270) = 19.98,p < 0.001;以及消极共同养育得分方差的很大一部分,R = 0.08,F(1, 270) = 23.78,p < 0.001。结果表明,冲突对“永远的父母”™课程中针对的共同养育行为有显著影响。
