Guided by Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT) and Communication Theory of Identity (CTI), the purpose of this study was to investigate how families communicatively negotiate religious differences and how that negotiation is related to parent-child relational solidarity. Specifically, we examined the direct effects of (non)accommodative communication on relational solidarity and indirect effects via identity gaps. Using a cross-sectional survey from emerging adult college students (N = 234), we found nonaccommodative communication is indirectly related to lower relational solidarity through increased identity gaps. Accommodative communication is indirectly related to higher relational solidarity through decreased identity gaps. When parents use accommodative strategies, they may help alleviate the mismatch between their child’s personal, enacted, and relational layers of identity, and foster increased relational solidarity.

信仰不同家庭关系中的沟通适应和身份差距是关系团结的预测因素

在沟通适应理论（CAT）和身份认同沟通理论（CTI）的指导下，本研究的目的是调查家庭如何通过沟通方式协商宗教差异，以及这种协商与亲子关系团结如何相关。具体来说，我们研究了（非）适应性交流对关系团结的直接影响和通过认同差距的间接影响。通过对新兴成人大学生（N = 234）的横断面调查，我们发现，非适应性交流与身份认同差距的增加间接地导致了较低的关系团结。适应性沟通通过减少身份差距而间接地与更高的关系团结度相关。父母采用适应性策略时，可以帮助减轻孩子的个人，
