The current study was aimed at exploring Italian parents' perceived negative and positive changes in family life during the COVID-19 pandemic, taking into account the role of the stage of the family life and family size.
During the emergency of the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of families drastically changed their daily life and routines. Little evidence exists on how family characteristics, such as family size or presence of children, are related to families' experience of family change.
A large sample of 1,407 Italian parents (70.1% mothers) filled in an anonymous online survey during the third week of the lockdown period (between March 30 and April 7, 2020).
Results showed that parents reported perceiving more positive changes than negative ones, especially in terms of feeling more emotionally close to their children and spending more fun time with them. Interestingly, parents with two or more children reported more positive changes in family life compared with parents who had one child, showing a greater relational regenerative capacity in the face of COVID-19 lockdown.
Investing in family relationships, especially for larger families, is an effective coping strategy to deal with traumatic situations and promote positive family changes in stressful situations.
本研究旨在探讨意大利父母在新冠疫情期间对家庭生活中负面和正面变化的认知，同时考虑家庭生活阶段和家庭规模的作用。
在新冠疫情紧急状态期间，数百万家庭的日常生活和日常安排发生了巨大变化。关于家庭特征（如家庭规模或子女数量）如何与家庭变化经历相关的证据很少。
在封锁期的第三周（2020年3月30日至4月7日），1407名意大利父母（70.1%为母亲）的大样本填写了一份匿名在线调查问卷。
结果显示，父母报告称感知到的积极变化多于消极变化，尤其是在与孩子情感上更亲近以及与他们共度更多欢乐时光方面。有趣的是，与只有一个孩子的父母相比，有两个或更多孩子的父母报告在家庭生活中有更多积极变化，这表明在面对新冠疫情封锁时具有更强的关系恢复能力。
投资于家庭关系，尤其是对大家庭而言，是应对创伤性情况并在压力情境中促进家庭积极变化的有效应对策略。
