ABSTRACT

This study presents findings of a mother-only coparenting intervention conducted in conjunction with fathers’ participation in a fatherhood program. Specifically, this study sets out to determine whether there is an association between mothers’ participation (N = 127) in the group-based intervention, Understanding Dads™, and changes in mothers’ reports of the coparenting relationship and mothers’ coparenting attitudes. The findings of this one group pretest/posttest/follow-up study showed that mothers reported fewer disagreements and less undermining of fathers following participation in the intervention. Mothers also indicated greater confidence in their ability to coparent cooperatively with the father after participation. Implications for fatherhood programs are discussed.

摘要

本研究展示了与父亲参与父亲身份计划一起进行的仅母亲共同抚养干预的结果。具体而言，本研究旨在确定母亲参与基于小组的干预（N = 127），了解爸爸™，与母亲对共同抚养关系和母亲共同抚养态度的报告的变化之间是否存在关联。这一组前测/后测/后续研究的结果表明，母亲在参与干预后报告的分歧较少，对父亲的损害也较少。母亲们也对参与后与父亲合作的能力更有信心。讨论了对父权计划的影响。
