这项纵向研究考察了在过渡到为人父母的头两年中，对儿童保育分工的相对贡献与个人和关系结果之间的关系。数据是从孩子出生前6周、产后6个月、12个月、18个月和24个月的大样本中收集的。结果显示，某些个体差异--尤其是性别和依恋回避--塑造了个体对育儿的反应，超过了伴侣报告完成的育儿任务的比例。女性和较少回避依恋的新父母比大多数男性更好地处理引入的育儿任务，特别是那些更容易回避依恋的人。此外，对育儿的某些反应，如育儿自我效能感和对工作家庭冲突的看法，在过渡过程中缓和了对育儿的贡献与关系满意度之间的关系。我们还讨论了对男性在这一特别紧张的转变过程中的适应进行更多研究的必要性。
This longitudinal study examined how relative contributions to the division of childcare are related to individual and relational outcomes across the first 2 years of the transition to parenthood. Data were collected from a large sample of first-time parents 6 weeks before the birth of their child and then at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months postpartum. The results revealed that certain individual differences-especially gender and attachment avoidance-shape individual reactions to childcare, above and beyond the proportion of childcare tasks that partners report completing. Women and less avoidantly attached new parents handle the introduction of childcare tasks better than most men, especially those who are more avoidantly attached. In addition, certain reactions to childcare, such as childcare self-efficacy and perceptions of work-family conflict, moderate the relation between contributions to childcare and relationship satisfaction over the course of the transition. We also discuss the need for more research on men's adjustment during this particularly stressful transition.
