Abstract

In psychology, attention to the study of human well-being has increased. The question is how psychological well-being transmitted from mother to daughter, if it is. Aim: to study the relation between the psychological well-being and parental attitudes of mothers with the psychological well-being of adult daughters. Hypothesis: psychological well-being is transmitted from mother to daughter both directly and through the mother’s parental attitudes, with the specificity in periods of adulthood. The sample of 111 dyad mother — daughters from Russia included two groups. The first group consisted of daughters 20–25 years (M=22) and mothers 39–50 years (M=45), the second — daughters 26–40 years (M=33) and mothers 51– 65 years (M=56). Methods: Psychological Well-being Scale (Ryff), Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener), Fordyce Emotions Questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, Parental Attitude Research Instrument (Schaefer, Bell). Correlation and factor analysis was conducted. Results: in general, the psychological well-being is transmitted from mother to adult daughter directly and through the mother’s parental attitudes towards equality, independence, and acceptance. However, the mother with high components of “life goal” and “positive relationships with others” has a more pronounced authoritarian control over the early-adult daughter. In daughters, this leads to a decrease of the psychological well-being, but to an increase in happiness. The psychological well-being of middle-adult daughter is correlated with that of the mother, both directly and through the mother’s attitudes towards acceptance and independence. The high psychological well-being of the late-adult mother serves as a buffer when faced with her daughter’s separation, allowing finding new aspirations.
母亲与成年女儿:她们的心理健康与母亲教养态度的关系
在心理学中,对人类福祉研究的关注有所增加。问题是心理健康是如何从母亲传给女儿的,如果是的话。目的:探讨母亲心理健康、父母态度与成年女儿心理健康的关系。假设:心理健康可以直接或通过母亲的父母态度从母亲传递给女儿,并在成年期具有特异性。来自俄罗斯的111对母女的样本包括两组。第一组为女儿20 ~ 25岁(M=22),母亲39 ~ 50岁(M=45);第二组为女儿26 ~ 40岁(M=33),母亲51 ~ 65岁(M=56)。方法:心理健康量表(Ryff)、生活满意度量表(Diener)、Fordyce情绪问卷、Rosenberg自尊量表、父母态度研究量表(Schaefer, Bell)。进行相关分析和因子分析。结果:总体而言,心理健康是通过母亲对平等、独立和接纳的父母态度直接从母亲传递给成年女儿的。然而,“人生目标”和“积极人际关系”成分较高的母亲对早熟女儿的专制控制更为明显。在女儿中,这会导致心理健康的下降,但会增加幸福感。成年中期女儿的心理健康与母亲的心理健康存在直接或通过母亲对接纳和独立的态度而存在的相关关系。高龄母亲的高心理幸福感在面对女儿的分离时起到了缓冲作用,使她能够找到新的愿望。
