Abstract

Abstract In the adoption field, there is evidence that parent–child relationship quality represents a crucial source of resilience for families. However, little is still known about the variables that may influence parental relationship and the mediating role played by coparenting in the association between marital and parental relationships. This study intended to explore the links between mothers’ and fathers’ perceptions of marital and parental relationships, assessing the mediating role of coparenting in adoptive families with internationally adopted adolescents in comparison with nonadoptive families. Participants were 91 Italian adoptive married couples and 69 nonadoptive married couples with an adolescent child. A self-report questionnaire was administered to participants. Results highlighted similarities and differences concerning mothers’ and fathers’ relationships within adoptive and nonadoptive families; the association of the marital relationship with the parental relationship through coparenting especially emerged within adoptive families. Results were discussed in relation to practical implications for family preventive and enrichment intervention.

收养与非收养家庭的婚姻与父母关系:父母教养的中介作用

在收养领域，有证据表明亲子关系质量是家庭弹性的重要来源。然而，对于可能影响父母关系的变量以及共同养育在婚姻和父母关系之间的关联中所起的中介作用，人们仍然知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨母亲和父亲对婚姻和父母关系的看法之间的联系，评估国际收养青少年的收养家庭与非收养家庭中父母养育的中介作用。参与者是91对意大利收养的已婚夫妇和69对有青春期孩子的非收养的已婚夫妇。对参与者进行自我报告问卷调查。结果强调了在收养和非收养家庭中父母关系的相似性和差异性;婚姻关系与父母关系之间的联系，特别是在收养家庭中出现。讨论了结果对家庭预防和富集干预的实际意义。

期刊介绍： Adoption Quarterly is an unparalleled forum for examining the issues of child care, of adoption as viewed from a lifespan perspective, and of the psychological and social meanings of the word "family." This international, multidisciplinary journal features conceptual and empirical work, commentaries, and book reviews from the fields of the social sciences, humanities, biological sciences, law, and social policy. In addition to examining ethical, biological, financial, social and psychological adoption issues, Adoption Quarterly addresses continuity in adoption issues that are important to both practitioners and researchers, such as: negotiation of birth and adoptive family contact.
