Abstract

The current research explored the dyadic relationships between general psychological distress (GPD) and coparenting dimensions (cooperation, conflict, triangulation) through the mediation of couple satisfaction among parents with young children. The sample comprised 184 heterosexual couples (184 mothers, 184 fathers, age range from 25 to 57 years) married for 10 years on average. The actor–partner interdependence model (APIM) and APIM Mediation Model analyses demonstrated significant relationships between mothers' and fathers' GPD and all three of their own coparenting dimensions (direct actor effects), also through their own couple satisfaction (indirect actor–actor effects). Additionally, mothers' GPD had direct effects on fathers' coparenting cooperation (partner effect). Fathers' GPD had significant indirect effects on all dimensions of mothers' coparenting through mothers' couple satisfaction (partner–actor effects), plus on mothers' coparenting triangulation through fathers' couple satisfaction (actor–partner effect). Findings were in line with Family System Theory and consistent with prior research. Clinical implications were discussed.

对有年幼子女家庭中父母的一般心理困扰和共同养育子女情况的研究：夫妻满意度的中介作用。

本研究通过对有年幼子女的父母的夫妻满意度进行调解，探讨了一般心理困扰（GPD）与共同养育维度（合作、冲突、三角关系）之间的关系。样本包括 184 对平均结婚 10 年的异性夫妇（184 位母亲，184 位父亲，年龄在 25 岁至 57 岁之间）。行为者-伴侣相互依赖模型（APIM）和 APIM 调解模型分析表明，母亲和父亲的 GPD 与他们自己的三个共同养育维度之间存在显著关系（直接行为者效应），同时也通过他们自己的夫妻满意度（间接行为者-行为者效应）。此外，母亲的 GPD 对父亲的亲子合作也有直接影响（伴侣效应）。父亲的 GPD 通过母亲的夫妻满意度（伴侣-行为者效应）对母亲的共同养育的所有维度都有显著的间接影响，还通过父亲的夫妻满意度（行为者-伴侣效应）对母亲的共同养育的三角关系有显著的间接影响。研究结果符合家庭系统理论，并与之前的研究结果一致。讨论了其临床意义。
