The relationship between parental divorce occurring during adolescence and young adult psychosocial adjustment was examined, as was the role of family process variables in clarifying this relationship. Participants were young Caucasian adults from divorced (n = 119) and married (n = 123) families. Assessments were conducted during adolescence and 6 years later during early adulthood. Young adults from married families reported more secure romantic attachments than those from divorced families; however, differences were not evident in other domains of psychosocial adjustment after demographic variables were controlled. Three family process variables (parent-adolescent relationship, interparental conflict, and maternal depressive symptoms) were examined as potential mediators and moderators of the association between parental divorce and young adult adjustment. No evidence supporting mediation or moderation was found; however, the parent-adolescent and parent-young adult relationships, particularly when the identified parent was the father, emerged as significant predictors of young adult psychosocial adjustment.
研究了青春期父母离异与青年期心理社会适应之间的关系，以及家庭过程变量在阐明这种关系中所起的作用。参与者是来自离异家庭（n = 119）和已婚家庭（n = 123）的年轻白人成年人。评估在青春期进行，并在6年后的成年早期进行。来自已婚家庭的年轻人报告的浪漫依恋比来自离异家庭的年轻人更安全；然而，在控制人口统计学变量后，心理社会适应的其他领域的差异并不明显。研究了三个家庭过程变量（亲子关系、父母间冲突和母亲抑郁症状）作为父母离异与青年期适应之间关联的潜在中介和调节因素。未发现支持中介或调节作用的证据；然而，亲子关系和父母与青年的关系，特别是当确定的家长是父亲时，成为青年期心理社会适应的重要预测因素。
