作者研究了母亲和父亲对同一家庭中成年子女的矛盾心理有何不同,以及母亲和父亲的矛盾心理模式是否可以用同一组预测因子来解释。他们利用家庭内部差异研究中收集的数据,比较了年长已婚母亲和父亲(N = 129)对其每个成年子女(N = 444)的矛盾心理评估。父亲们总体上表现出更高程度的矛盾心理。母亲和父亲都表示,对于已婚、受过良好教育以及他们认为拥有相似价值观的孩子,其矛盾心理较低;然而,婚姻状况和教育程度对父亲的影响更为明显,而子女价值观一致性的影响对母亲则更为明显。父亲对女儿的矛盾心理比儿子少,而母亲对儿子的矛盾心理比女儿少。
The authors examined how ambivalence toward adult children within the same family differs between mothers and fathers and whether patterns of maternal and paternal ambivalence can be explained by the same set of predictors. Using data collected in the Within-Family Differences Study, they compared older married mothers' and fathers' (N = 129) assessments of ambivalence toward each of their adult children (N = 444). Fathers reported higher levels of ambivalence overall. Both mothers and fathers reported lower ambivalence toward children who were married, better educated, and who they perceived to hold similar values; however, the effects of marital status and education were more pronounced for fathers, whereas the effect of children's value congruence was more pronounced for mothers. Fathers reported lower ambivalence toward daughters than sons, whereas mothers reported less ambivalence toward sons than daughters.
