Parent couples are involved in a coparenting bond and in a romantic relationship. Research on couple therapy has mainly explored the impact of couple therapy on romantic relationships; however, little is known about how couple therapy affects the coparenting relationship. Self-reports of positive and negative coparenting and observed emotional behavior in coparenting-related conversation tasks were assessed pre- and posttherapy (6 months intervals) in 64 mixed-sex parental couples. Results showed that mothers and fathers reported more positive coparenting after therapy. There were no significant changes in the reported negative coparenting and in the emotional behavior. Exploratory analyses indicated gender differences in emotional expression. The findings suggest that fathers might have been more active in the coparenting conversation after therapy.
父母双方不仅存在亲职关系，也存在浪漫关系。夫妻治疗的相关研究主要探讨了夫妻治疗对浪漫关系的影响，然而，夫妻治疗如何影响亲职关系则鲜为人知。本研究采用亲职关系自评量表和夫妻亲职相关对话任务中观察到的情绪行为，在 64 对混合性别父母中分别于治疗前（6 个月间隔）和治疗后进行评估。结果显示，治疗后父母双方均报告亲职关系更积极。亲职关系负向评价和情绪行为均无显著变化。探索性分析表明，情绪表达存在性别差异。研究结果表明，治疗后父亲可能在亲职对话中更为积极。
