ABSTRACT Family communication is central to adjusted family functioning, which may be of special relevance to limit the impact of divorce on children. The present study aims to examine positive family communication as a facilitator of family adaptation to divorce, its impact on children’s maladjustment, and the role of coparenting. A cross-sectional study was carried out with 309 parents with high interparental-conflict. The expected model was tested using path analysis. We observed that: 1) positive family communication was related to parents’ greater psychological adjustment to the divorce and fewer socioeconomic consequences of the divorce on children and indirectly to children’s lower anxiety/depression and aggressiveness; 2) supportive coparenting was a protective factor against socioeconomic consequences, but a risk factor in situations of high conflict. These results highlight positive family communication in family adaptation and children’s well-being. Furthermore, findings differentiate the divorce conditions in which coparenting may or may not be appropriate.

家庭沟通，离婚适应和儿童的适应障碍：父母父母的调节作用

摘要家庭沟通对于调整家庭功能至关重要，这对于限制离婚对孩子的影响可能具有特殊意义。本研究旨在探讨积极的家庭沟通作为家庭离婚适应的促进者，它对孩子的不良适应的影响以及同居的作用。这项横断面研究是针对309名父母双方之间高度冲突的父母进行的。使用路径分析测试了预期模型。我们观察到：1）积极的家庭沟通与父母对离婚的心理适应能力增强以及离婚对儿童的社会经济影响较小有关，并间接与儿童较低的焦虑/抑郁和攻击性有关；2）支持性表亲是防止社会经济后果的保护因素，但是在高度冲突的情况下是一个风险因素。这些结果强调了家庭适应和儿童福祉方面积极的家庭沟通。此外，调查结果对离婚条件进行了区分，在这种情况下，同居或未婚是适当的。
