Parental identity formation may be a factor of the utmost importance in helping us to understand the mechanisms of adaptation to parenthood. However, our knowledge regarding the processes involved in the development of parental identity is very limited. In the present study the relationships between three dimensions of parental identity (commitment, in-depth exploration, reconsideration of commitment), and two trait-like characteristics that determine the quality of family life, i.e. romantic adult attachment and perfectionism were analyzed. 206 mothers aged 22 to 40 participated in the study ( = 33.33, = 3.68). The results revealed that a high level in anxious attachment, avoidant attachment and maladaptive aspects of perfectionism (other-oriented and socially-prescribed perfectionism) positively correlate with a low level of parental identity commitment and a high level of reconsideration of parental commitment. Regression analysis revealed that especially attachment-related anxiety and other-oriented perfectionism can be treated as independent, specific predictors of an increased crisis of parental identity.
父母身份认同的形成可能是帮助我们理解为人父母适应机制的一个极其重要的因素。然而，我们对父母身份认同发展过程的了解非常有限。在本研究中，分析了父母身份认同的三个维度（承诺、深入探索、承诺的重新考虑）与决定家庭生活质量的两个特质类特征（即浪漫成人依恋和完美主义）之间的关系。206名年龄在22至40岁之间的母亲参与了该研究（平均年龄 = 33.33，标准差 = 3.68）。结果显示，焦虑依恋、回避依恋和完美主义的适应不良方面（他人导向和社会规定的完美主义）的高水平与父母身份认同承诺的低水平和父母承诺重新考虑的高水平呈正相关。回归分析表明，尤其是与依恋相关的焦虑和他人导向的完美主义可被视为父母身份认同危机增加的独立、特定预测因素。
