婚姻关系（MR）影响亲子关系（PCR）的方式每天都有所不同，每个家庭都有所不同。然而，MR-PCR相关性的日常波动和家族间差异在文献中基本上被忽视了。使用连续三年的152对父母夫妇（有一个7到17岁的孩子）的日常日记数据，我们根据父母的日常关系动态确定了类型，并研究了家庭类型与孩子适应之间的关联。日常关系质量的状态空间网格（即，MR和PCR）在每个评估波为每个父母构建。随后进行网格序列分析，以确定多个家庭类型，包括凝聚力，波动凝聚力，溢出，补偿和适度的关系类型。随着时间的推移，一些类型学发生了变化，父亲和母亲的类型也不同（例如，补偿类型学）。来自MR和PCR质量差的家庭的儿童适应问题最多（即，溢出类型学）。总体而言，我们的研究结果表明，家庭关系的动态和这些类型的发展影响的异质性。对于与家庭合作的从业者和治疗师来说，我们的研究结果强调了改善婚姻和亲子关系质量在促进积极的儿童结果方面的价值。
The ways in which marital relationships (MR) affect parent–child relationships (PCR) vary from day-to-day and differ from one family to another. The day-to-day fluctuations of MR–PCR associations and the between-family differences, however, have been largely overlooked in the literature. Using daily diary data from 152 mother–father couples (with a 7- to 17-year-old child) across three consecutive years, we identified typologies based on parents’ daily relational dynamics and examined the association between family typologies and child adjustment. State space grids of daily relationship quality (i.e., MR and PCR) were constructed for each parent at each wave of assessment. Grid-sequence analysis was subsequently conducted to identify multiple family typologies, including cohesive, fluctuating cohesive, spillover, compensatory, and moderate relationship typologies. Some typologies changed over the years and differed for fathers and mothers (e.g., the compensatory typology). Child adjustment problems were the highest in children from families with poor MR and PCR quality (i.e., the spillover typology). Overall, our results evince the heterogeneous nature of family relationship dynamics and the developmental implications of these typologies. For practitioners and therapists who work with families, our findings highlight the value of improving marital and parent–child relationship quality in promoting positive child outcomes.
