来自单亲家庭的非裔美国青少年面临一系列适应困难的风险更大。家庭是研究青少年适应的中心环境；然而，关于非裔美国青年的大部分工作都集中在家庭冲突和适应不良上，很少关注家庭关系的支持方面或其与积极结果的潜在联系。这项研究调查了单亲母亲与其非婚同居父母之间的冲突和支持方面之间的关联，以及来自单亲母亲家庭的 268 名非裔美国青年的积极和消极结果。研究结果显示，母亲与父母的支持与孩子的能力有关，而母亲与父母的冲突与孩子的适应不良有关。此外，积极的养育方式充分调节了母亲与父母的关系和孩子的结局之间的关系。讨论了临床意义和未来方向。
African American youth from single-mother homes are at increased risk for a range of adjustment difficulties. The family is a central context in which to study youth adjustment; however, much of the work on African American youth has focused on family conflict and maladjustment, with less attention to the supportive aspects of family relationships or their potential links with positive outcomes. This study examined the associations between conflictual and supportive aspects of the relationships that single mothers have with their nonmarital coparents and both positive and negative outcomes among 268 African American youth from single-mother homes. Findings revealed that mother–coparent support was associated with child competence, and mother–coparent conflict was associated with child maladjustment. In addition, positive parenting fully mediated these relations between mother–coparent relationship and child outcomes. Clinical implications and future directions are discussed.
