本研究检验了一个假设，即子女对父母婚姻的影响是由于父母角色的压力。本研究以多元回归模型探讨父母教养压力与心理健康及婚姻质量知觉的关系。此外，其他6个变量的影响进行了评估：2个竞争角色（母亲的就业和家庭分工），2个孩子相关的变量（数量和年龄组成），婚姻持续时间;和经济困境。数据收集自287对有孩子住在家里的完整夫妇的丈夫和妻子。使用结构方程模型，从父母双方的数据进行了联合分析，以评估配偶对彼此的相互影响。研究结果表明，无论是父亲还是母亲，育儿压力都受到孩子数量和经济困难的影响，而不受其他角色（妻子的就业和家庭分工）的影响。对于夫妻双方，心理健康和感知的婚姻质量产生负面影响的养育压力。夫妻双方的亲职压力，以及他们对彼此的婚姻质量感知的相互影响之间的显着关联。一些理论和实践意义进行了讨论。
This study examines the hypothesis that the effect children have on their parents' marriages is due to stress in the parental role. A multivariate model was specified to assess the relationship between fathers' and mothers' parenting stress and their psychological wellbeing and perception of marital quality. In addition, the effects of 6 other variables were assessed: 2 competing roles (mother's employment and household division of labor), 2 children-related variables (number and age composition), marital duration; and economic distress. Data were collected from both the husband and the wife in 287 intact couples who had children living at home. Using structural equation modeling, data from both parents were analyzed jointly to assess the mutual effect of the spouses on one another. The findings indicated that, for both fathers and mothers, parenting stress was affected by the number of children and economic distress, but not by other roles (wife's employment and household division of labor). For both spouses, psychological well-being and perceived marital quality were affected negatively by parenting stress. Significant association was found between husbands' and wives' parenting stress, as well as a mutual effect of their perceived marital quality on each other. Some theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
