社会学中有两种看似不相容的立场的理论基础：（1）孩子应该对父母的心理健康产生强烈的负面影响；（2）孩子应该对父母的心理健康产生强烈的积极影响。大多数实证分析仅得出为人父母与心理健康之间的适度关系。通常但并非总是如此，它是负面的。在这项研究中，我们考虑了父母状况与心理健康的几个维度之间的关系。我们的分析基于一项大型全国调查的数据。这表明孩子对父母的心理健康有积极和消极的影响。与父母身份相关的积极和消极影响的平衡取决于孩子的居住状况、最小孩子的年龄、父母的婚姻状况以及心理健康检查的特定维度。与非父母相比，有孩子在家的父母的情感幸福感和满意度较低，但生活意义较高；有成年子女离家居住的父母拥有较高的情感幸福感、满意度和生活意义。丧偶者似乎从为人父母中受益最多，而离婚者似乎承受了最大的成本。
There are theoretical foundations in sociology for two seemingly incompatible positions: (1) children should have a strong negative impact on the psychological well-being of parents and (2) children should have a strong positive impact on the psychological well-being of parents. Most empirical analyses yield only a modest relationship between parenthood and psychological well-being. Usually, but not always, it is negative. In this study we consider the relationship between parental status and several dimensions of psychological well-being. Our analysis is based on data from a large national survey. It suggests that children have positive and negative effects on the psychological well-being of parents. The balance of positive and negative effects associated with parenthood depends on residential status of the child, age of youngest child, marital status of the parent, and the particular dimension of psychological well-being examined. When compared with nonparents, parents with children in the home have low levels of affective well-being and satisfaction, and high levels of life-meaning; parents with adult children living away from home have high levels of affective well-being, satisfaction, and life-meaning. The widowed appear to benefit most from parenthood and the divorced appear to experience the greatest costs.
