Research has stressed the importance of the family domain for the individual's well-being, but the heterogeneity/homogeneity of satisfaction with family life between and within families have not previously assessed. This study identifies family profiles based on the level of family life satisfaction in mother-father-adolescent triads and determines whether profiles differ in terms of the three family members' perceived family support, importance assigned to the family, both parents' work-life balance and mental health, and the household's economic situation. The sample was composed of 303 families of different-sex dual-earner parents with one child aged between 10 and 17 years, from Temuco, Chile. A Latent Profile Analysis was used to identify three profiles: Families with low family satisfaction (17.80%), Families with medium family satisfaction (68.14%), and Families with high family satisfaction (14.06%). Profiles also differed in the three family members' perceived family support and importance assigned to the family, both parents' work-life balance and mental health, and in the household's income. Mothers, fathers, and adolescents in these profiles also differed from one another in these variables. The main variable related to the family members' satisfaction with family life was the parents' mental health problems. Family life satisfaction in dual-earner couples with adolescent children is heterogenous, and these profiles draw attention to indicators of parent-child well-being. Families with lower levels of family satisfaction require particular attention in research and interventions, as these families may report a lower household income, and the parents may experience higher rates of depression, anxiety, and stress, and diverging levels of work-life balance.
研究强调了家庭领域对个人幸福的重要性，但之前尚未评估家庭生活满意度在家庭内部和家庭之间的异质性/同质性。本研究基于母子-父子三人组家庭生活满意度水平确定家庭类型，并确定这些类型在三个家庭成员感知到的家庭支持、对家庭的重视程度、父母双方的工作-生活平衡和心理健康以及家庭的经济状况方面是否存在差异。该样本由来自智利特木科的 303 个不同性别、双职工父母和一个 10 至 17 岁的孩子组成。使用潜在剖面分析来确定三种类型：家庭满意度低的家庭（17.80%）、家庭满意度中等的家庭（68.14%）和家庭满意度高的家庭（14.06%）。这些类型在三个家庭成员感知到的家庭支持和对家庭的重视程度、父母双方的工作-生活平衡和心理健康以及家庭收入方面也存在差异。这些类型中的母亲、父亲和青少年在这些变量上也彼此不同。与家庭成员对家庭生活的满意度主要相关的变量是父母的心理健康问题。有青少年子女的双职工夫妇的家庭生活满意度存在异质性，这些类型提请注意父母子女幸福的指标。家庭满意度较低的家庭需要在研究和干预中特别关注，因为这些家庭可能报告家庭收入较低，父母可能经历更高的抑郁、焦虑和压力水平以及工作-生活平衡程度不同。
