这项调查比较了荷兰同性父母和异性父母家庭在孩子的心理健康、育儿压力和养育子女方面的支持。还评估了儿童幸福感、育儿压力和育儿支持之间的关联在两种家庭类型中是否不同。数据基于一项具有全国代表性的调查(N=25250)。利用匹配来增强两类家系在背景特征上的相似性。对43个女性同性父母、52个男性同性父母和95个子女年龄在5岁至18岁之间的不同性别父母家庭的父母和孩子特征进行匹配。在孩子的幸福、亲子关系中的问题、对孩子的担忧、同性和异性父母家庭的母亲之间或同性和异性父母家庭的父亲之间使用正式和非正式支持的问题上，没有发现显著差异。关于养育孩子的信心，同性父母家庭的父亲和不同性别父母家庭的母亲感到能力不如他们的同龄人。儿童幸福感与预测变量(育儿压力变量)之间的关联，以及支持与预测变量(育儿压力与儿童幸福感)之间的关联，都不会因家庭类型而异。在这项以人群为基础的研究中，无论家庭类型如何，儿童结果的相似性证实了基于便利样本的先前调查结果。这些发现与家庭治疗师、从业者、法院官员和政策制定者有关，他们寻求关于女性和男性同性父母家庭的育儿经验和子女结局的信息。
This investigation compared Dutch same-sex parent and different-sex parent households on children's psychological well-being, parenting stress, and support in child rearing. It was also assessed whether associations among children's well-being, parenting stress, and support in child rearing were different in the two household types. Data were based on a nationally representative survey (N=25,250). Matching was used to enhance similarity in background characteristics between both types of families. Parental and child characteristics were matched for 43 female same-sex parent, 52 male same-sex parent, and 95 different-sex parent households with offspring between 5 and 18 years old. No significant differences were found on children's well-being, problems in the parent-child relationship, being worried about the child, or the use of formal and informal support between mothers in same-sex and different-sex parent households or for fathers in same-sex and different-sex parent households. Regarding perceived confidence in child rearing, fathers in same-sex parent households and mothers in different-sex parent households felt less competent than their counterparts. Neither the associations between children's well-being and the predictors (parenting stress variables) nor those between support and the predictors (parenting stress and children's well-being) differed along household type. In this population-based study, the similarity in child outcomes regardless of household type confirms the results of prior investigations based on convenience samples. These findings are pertinent to family therapists, practitioners, court officials, and policymakers who seek information on parenting experiences and child outcomes in female and male same-sex parent families.
