Abstract

The relationship and related mediating mechanism between parental coparenting and adolescent academic engagement have yet to be elucidated during the pandemic. The present study is set to investigate the relationship between parental coparenting and adolescent academic engagement within Chinese families. Then it examines the mediating effects of parent–child communications in relationships. As a part of the national online survey in China, fathers, mothers and adolescents from 700 families across the country participated in the online survey. Both parents reported their coparenting support and conflict, while adolescents rated the level of open and problematic parent–child communication and their own academic engagement. Paternal coparenting conflict was related to adolescent academic engagement through both open and problematic communications. Paternal and maternal coparenting support was related to adolescent academic engagement through the mediating effect of open communication. Maternal coparenting conflict was related to adolescent academic engagement through problematic communication. Moreover, paternal coparenting support was positively directly related to adolescent academic engagement in the overall model. The research findings supported the effects of parental coparenting on adolescent academic engagement through the mediating effects of open and problematic parent–child communication. Paternal coparenting support had a greater impact on adolescent academic engagement.

养育子女与青少年学业参与：全国中国家庭样本中亲子沟通的中介作用

在大流行病期间，父母的共同养育与青少年学业参与之间的关系及相关中介机制尚未得到阐明。本研究旨在探讨中国家庭中父母共同抚养与青少年学业参与之间的关系。然后，研究亲子沟通在关系中的中介效应。作为中国全国在线调查的一部分，来自全国700个家庭的父亲、母亲和青少年参与了在线调查。父母双方报告了他们的亲子关系支持和冲突，而青少年则对亲子沟通的开放程度和问题程度以及他们自己的学业参与度进行了评分。通过公开和有问题的沟通，父亲与子女之间的冲突与青少年的学业参与度有关。通过开放式沟通的中介效应，父方和母方的共同养育支持与青少年的学业参与度有关。母亲的养育冲突则通过有问题的沟通与青少年的学业参与度有关。此外，在整体模型中，父方的共同养育支持与青少年的学业参与度直接呈正相关。研究结果表明，通过开放式亲子沟通和问题式亲子沟通的中介效应，父母的亲子关系对青少年的学业参与产生了影响。父亲对青少年学业参与的支持对青少年学业参与的影响更大。
