Marital Conflict & Parenting Ethnicity & Parent Gender

描述（申请人提供）：婚姻冲突与亲子关系的许多方面有着根深蒂固的关系。有证据表明，这种联系在父亲身上比在母亲身上更明显。种族的调节作用是另一个潜在的重要因素，但在现有文献中很少被研究。因此，本研究建议的目的是通过将父母性别和种族作为调节变量，以及检查父母性别和种族之间的相互作用，扩展目前对婚姻冲突和育儿之间联系的理解。目前的项目在112个拥有9岁和10岁儿童的不同种族家庭的样本中，在两个时间点（间隔一年）考察了这些因素。数据将通过父母自我报告、儿童报告和训练有素的观察员对三位一体家庭讨论的评分来收集。数据分析将包括多元回归分析和结构方程建模。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Marital conflict has a well-established relationship with many aspects of parent-child relations. There is some evidence that this link is stronger for fathers than for mothers. The moderating effect of ethnicity is another potentially important element, but one rarely examined in the existing literature. Therefore, the objective of this research proposal is to extend current understanding of the link between marital conflict and parenting by including parent gender and ethnicity as moderating variables, as well as examining interactions between parent gender and ethnicity. The current project examines these factors at two time points, one year apart, in an ethnically diverse sample of 112 families with 9- and 10-year-old children. Data will be collected via parent self-report, child report, and ratings of triadic family discussions by trained observers. Data analysis will include multiple regression analyses and structural equation modeling.
