向为人父母的转变对许多夫妻来说是一个充满压力的时期。大多数关于向为人父母转变的研究都是针对中产阶级异性恋夫妻进行的。当前的研究使用多层次模型来检验29对女同性恋伴侣在向为人父母转变过程中关系质量（爱情和冲突）变化的预测因素。预测因素包括人格变量、工作环境变量、社会环境变量以及伴侣特征。结果表明，人格和伴侣特征是爱情变化的重要预测因素，而人格和预期的社会支持是冲突变化的显著预测因素。讨论了针对女同性恋伴侣这一关键人生转变进行研究的重要性。
The transition to parenthood is a time of stress for many couples. Most research on the transition to parenthood has been conducted with middle-class, heterosexual couples. The current study uses multilevel modeling to examine predictors of change in relationship quality (love and conflict) during the transition to parenthood in 29 lesbian couples. Predictors included personality variables, work context variables, social context variables, and couple characteristics. Results suggest that personality and couple characteristics were important predictors of change in love, whereas personality and expected social support were salient predictors of change in conflict. The importance of research on this key life transition for lesbian couples is discussed.
