亲子关系是一种亲子互动，孩子们承担起照顾孩子的责任，而父母却不能支持和回报孩子的角色。经验研究通常将父母教养作为儿童照看行为的发生，而理论强调考虑儿童参与照看和调整的家庭背景，两者之间存在差距。本研究(N=235)通过在标准化范式中评估幼儿园儿童对父母间冲突的照料反应，并通过混合建模方法将家庭情境中的照料反应和儿童随时间的适应情况联系起来，考察了该结构的多重可操作性。虽然88%的儿童支持照看，但结合情境的照看导致对这一现象的较低估计(保守地，30%)。此外，事实证明，在家庭一级(即在亲子关系内)考虑儿童照料的背景情况，在确定家庭内养育经验方面的家庭间差异方面是最有意义的。尽管确定了家庭一级的育儿模式(儿童的照顾反应高，加上父母照顾能力差和自主性支持差)，但儿童的适应(外化、内化、亲社会行为)在两年多的时间里仍然处于正常的功能范围，潜在地表明儿童对这种家庭风险背景的适应能力。因此，这些发现表明，通过将幼儿的照顾与亲子关系联系起来，在衡量父母关系方面取得了进步。
Parentification is a parent-child dynamic in which children assume caregiving responsibilities while parents fail to support and reciprocate children’s roles. There is a gap between empirical research, which typically operationalizes parentification as the occurrence of children’s caregiving behaviors, and theory, which emphasizes consideration of the family context in which children engage in caregiving as well as adjustment. The present study (N=235) considered multiple operationalizations of the construct by assessing kindergarten-aged children’s caregiving reactions to interparental conflict in a standardized paradigm and additionally contextualizing caregiving reactions within family context and child adjustment over time through mixture modeling approaches. Although 88% of children endorsed caregiving, contextualizing caregiving resulted in lower estimates of this phenomenon (conservatively, 30%). Moreover, contextualizing children’s caregiving at the family level (i.e., within parent-child relationships) proved most informative in identifying between-family differences in within-family experiences of parentification. Despite identifying a pattern of parentification at the family level (high children’s caregiving reactions in conjunction with poor parental caregiving competence and poor autonomy support), children’s adjustment (externalizing, internalizing, prosocial behavior) remained in the normative range of functioning over two years, potentially suggesting child resilience to this family risk context. As such, these findings demonstrate an advancement in measuring parentification by contextualizing young children’s caregiving within parent-child relationships.
