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都有很好的关系。有一些证据表明，这种联系对父亲来说比对母亲更强烈。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，以及考察父母性别和种族之间的交互作用，来扩展目前对婚姻冲突和育儿之间关系的理解。目前的项目在两个时间点，即相隔一年的两个时间点，对112个有9岁和10岁孩子的不同种族家庭进行了调查。数据将通过家长自我报告、儿童报告和训练有素的观察员对三人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.
