"Understanding stability and change in coparenting: Predictors and outcomes in families with young children"

 描述（由申请人提供）：共同抚养的方式合作伙伴一起工作，在抚养孩子-已被链接到长期的夫妇成果，如婚姻质量2和孩子的成果，如内化/外化调整，附件安全，和学术成功。[3]虽然一些研究报告说，在出生后的最初几年里，共同养育质量保持适度稳定，[2]但两次评估之间的间隔通常相当大。然而，随着家庭应对早期为人父母的压力，共同抚养的质量可能会在更快的时间尺度上波动。9研究表明，养育子女和家庭关系的不一致/不稳定与不安全的依恋10以及个人和夫妇的更大压力有关。11因此，共同养育子女方面的短期（每日和每月）波动也可能对个人和家庭的不良结果构成风险。为了更好地了解共同养育的动态过程以及这些动态过程如何影响家庭和儿童，本研究将（1）在一项新的每日日记研究中使用每日共同养育测量（每日家庭生活项目，DFLP），（2）研究预测的变化，在共同养育质量在日常水平（DFLP）和每月的水平（数据来自SIESTA项目，R 01-HD 052809，一项对父母在父母身份的前两年进行的研究），（3）检查家庭和孩子在共同养育质量方面的日常和每月变化。调查结果有可能为有幼儿的家庭的干预措施的设计提供信息，并应进一步加强家庭。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Coparenting the way partners work together in child-rearing-has been linked to long-term couple outcomes such as marital quality 2 and child outcomes such as internalizing/externalizing adjustment, attachment security, and academic success. 3 Although some studies have reported moderate stability in coparenting quality across the early years after birth, 2 the intervals between assessments have typically been quite large. Coparenting quality may fluctuate however at more rapid time scales as families deal with the stresses of early parenthood. 9 Research has shown that inconsistency/instability in parenting and family relationships is linked to insecure attachment 10 and greater strain on individuals and couples. 11 Accordingly, short-term (daily and monthly) fluctuations in coparenting may also represent a risk for poor individual and family outcomes. To better understand the dynamic processes of coparenting and how these dynamics influence families and children, this work will (1) utilize a daily measure of coparenting in a new daily diary study (Daily Family Life Project, DFLP), (2) examine predictors of variability in coparenting quality at the daily level (DFLP) and the monthly level (data from Project SIESTA, R01- HD052809, a study of parents across the first two years of parenthood), and (3) examine family and child outcomes of both daily and monthly variability in coparenting quality. Findings have the potential to inform the design of interventions for families with young children and should further strengthen families.
