本纵向调查研究了248个低收入、非裔美国人单亲母亲家庭中父母支持和冲突对母子适应的主要影响和互动影响。研究结果表明，父母冲突在横断面和纵向上都比父母支持更能预测母亲和儿童的适应不良。此外，研究结果显示，父母冲突和支持相互作用，以预测一种育儿行为，监测，横断面和纵向。以高水平的支持和低水平的冲突为特征的父母关系与最高水平的父母监控行为相关，而以低水平的支持和高水平的冲突为特征的父母关系与最低水平的监控行为相关。研究结果强调了在这个有风险但研究不足的群体中，研究父母关系的积极和消极方面的重要性。
This longitudinal investigation examined main and interactive effects of coparent support and conflict on mother and child adjustment in 248 low-income, African American, single mother-headed families. The findings indicated that coparent conflict was a more robust predictor of mother and child maladjustment both cross-sectionally and longitudinally than was coparent support. Moreover, findings revealed that coparent conflict and support interacted to predict one parenting behavior, monitoring, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Coparent relationships characterized by high levels of support and low levels of conflict were associated with the highest levels of parental monitoring behavior, whereas coparent relationships characterized by low levels of support and high levels of conflict were associated with the lowest levels of monitoring. The findings highlight the importance of examining both positive and negative aspects of coparent relationships in this at-risk, but understudied, group.
