大多数（67%）非裔美国青年生活在单亲家庭，家庭结构的转变与内化和外化问题行为的风险增加有关。虽然大多数单身母亲赞同另一个成年人或家庭成员在抚养子女的援助，相对较少的是知道谁是从事这种非婚姻共同抚养的角色（即，祖母，父亲/社会父亲，阿姨，和女性家庭朋友），以及它如何涉及到共同抚养质量，母亲养育，和青年心理社会结果（即，内化和外化问题）。这个问题，这是至关重要的，以家庭为重点的方案，为青年在这些家庭的进步，是在这项研究中解决。本研究的参与者是159名非洲裔美国单亲母亲的孩子。青少年的外祖母在样本中构成了最大比例的同父母（37.2%），其次是母亲的女性家庭朋友（22.5%），青少年的姨妈（12.7%）和青少年的父亲/社会父亲（11%）。出现了不同群体的coparents支持和冲突的母亲。具体来说，祖母，阿姨，和女性家庭朋友提供了显着更多的工具性支持比父亲。此外，祖母和父亲与母亲的冲突，无论是一般还是具体在孩子面前，都比阿姨或女性家庭朋友更多。反过来，这些差异直接和间接地通过母亲养育与内化和外化问题。临床意义和未来的方向进行了讨论。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2024阿帕，保留所有权利）
The majority (67%) of African American youth live in single-parent households, a shift in the family structure that has been linked to increased risk for both internalizing and externalizing problems behaviors. Although the majority of single mothers endorse the assistance of another adult or family member in child rearing, relatively little is known about who is engaged in this nonmarital coparenting role (ie, grandmother, father/social father, aunt, and female family friend) and how it relates to coparenting quality, maternal parenting, and youth psychosocial outcomes (ie, internalizing and externalizing problems). This question, which is critical to the advancement of family focused programming for youth in these families, is addressed in this study. The participants examined in the current study were 159 African American single-mother child dyads. Adolescents' maternal grandmothers constituted the largest proportion of coparents in the sample (37.2%), followed by the mothers' female family friends (22.5%), adolescents' maternal aunts (12.7%), and adolescents' fathers/social fathers (11%). Differences emerged among groups of coparents in support and conflict with the mother. Specifically, grandmothers, aunts, and female family friends provided significantly more instrumental support than fathers. Furthermore, grandmothers and fathers had more conflict with the mother, both generally and specifically in front of the child, than aunts or female family friends. In turn, these differences were associated directly and indirectly through maternal parenting with internalizing and externalizing problems. Clinical implications and future directions are discussed.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
