英国的一项研究对41个同性恋父亲家庭、40个女同性恋母亲家庭和49个收养了3-9岁孩子的异性恋父母家庭进行了研究。对父母、孩子和教师进行标准化访谈，并对父母、孩子和教师进行父母幸福感、亲子关系质量、儿童适应和儿童性别类型行为的观察和问卷调查。研究结果表明，与异性恋父母家庭相比，同性恋父亲家庭的父母幸福感和育儿方式更积极。在异性恋家庭的儿童中，儿童外化问题更严重。家庭过程变量，特别是育儿压力，而不是家庭类型被发现是儿童外化问题的预测因素。这些发现有助于从理论上理解父母性别和父母性取向在儿童发展中的作用。
Findings are presented on a U.K. study of 41 gay father families, 40 lesbian mother families, and 49 heterosexual parent families with an adopted child aged 3–9 years. Standardized interview and observational and questionnaire measures of parental well-being, quality of parent–child relationships, child adjustment, and child sex-typed behavior were administered to parents, children, and teachers. The findings indicated more positive parental well-being and parenting in gay father families compared to heterosexual parent families. Child externalizing problems were greater among children in heterosexual families. Family process variables, particularly parenting stress, rather than family type were found to be predictive of child externalizing problems. The findings contribute to theoretical understanding of the role of parental gender and parental sexual orientation in child development.
