This study examined the associations between parent-child relationship satisfaction and psychological distress among emerging adult children and their parents. It also investigated whether these associations varied across ethnic groups. Based on related theories and research, we hypothesized negative “actor” and “partner” associations between parent-child relationship satisfaction and psychological distress among both the parents and emerging adult children, with a stronger “actor” association among parents. We also hypothesized that the negative “actor” association between emerging adult children’s relationship satisfaction with their parents and their own psychological distress would be stronger among Hispanic emerging adult children than among their non-Hispanic peers. The sample included 183 non-Hispanic and Hispanic parent-emerging adult child dyads. Emerging adult children were recruited from two large universities in the U.S. Both the emerging adult children and their primary parents were invited to participate in an online survey and reported their parent-child relationship satisfaction, symptoms of depression and anxiety, and demographics. Results from Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) revealed a significant association between parents’ relationship satisfaction with their emerging adult children and their own psychological distress (“actor effect” for parents). Further, a moderating effect by ethnicity was found such that the association between emerging adult children’s relationship satisfaction with their parents and their own psychological distress was stronger among Hispanic emerging adult children than among their non-Hispanic peers (stronger “actor effect” for Hispanic emerging adult children). These findings have important implications for researchers and practitioners regarding intergenerational relationships and ethnic/cultural differences.

父母和成年子女的亲子关系满意度和心理困扰

这项研究调查了成年成年子女及其父母的亲子关系满意度和心理困扰之间的联系。它还调查了这些协会是否在族裔群体中有所不同。基于相关理论和研究,我们假设父母和新兴成年子女之间的亲子关系满意度和心理困扰之间存在负的“演员”和“伙伴”关联,而父母之间的“演员”关联更强。我们还假设,在西班牙裔新兴成年子女中,新生成年子女与父母之间的关系满意度和他们自己的心理困扰之间的负面“演员”关联会比非西班牙裔同龄人更强。样本包括183个非西班牙裔和西班牙裔双亲成年儿童双子星。从美国的两所大型大学中招募了成年子女。成年子女及其主要父母都应邀参加了一项在线调查,并报告了他们的亲子关系满意度,抑郁和焦虑症状以及人口统计学。演员-伙伴互依模型(APIM)的结果表明,父母对成年子女的关系满意度和他们自己的心理困扰(父母的“演员效应”)之间存在显着关联。进一步,发现种族之间的调节作用使成年成年子女与父母之间的关系满意度和他们自己的心理困扰之间的联系比非西班牙裔成年成年子女之间的关联更强(对西班牙裔成年成年子女的“演员效应”更强) )。这些发现对于研究者和从业者之间的代际关系和种族/文化差异具有重要意义。
