ABSTRACT

Offspring of divorce are generally more vulnerable to negative mental health outcomes than counterparts of intact marriages. However, not all cases of divorce are equivalent. The present study aimed to contribute to divorce literature by investigating the role of interparental conflict during the divorce process on offspring well-being. A convenience sample of 144 adult undergraduates from divorced families completed questionnaires pertaining to perceptions of interparental conflict and psychological well-being, interpersonal competence, irrational beliefs, materialistic orientations, and emotion dysregulation. Perceptions of interparental conflict during divorce positively correlated with irrational thinking and emotion dysregulation, and negatively correlated with psychological well-being and interpersonal competence. A MANOVA revealed that participants' perceptions of interparental conflict had significant predictive power on all factors of interest except materialism. In the model, interparental conflict had the greatest effect on emotion dysregulation. Participants with perceptions of high interparental conflict had greater impairments in all variables (except materialism, which was non-significant) compared to the low perception group. They also presented greater impairment in interpersonal competence, emotion regulation, and rational thinking than the medium perception group. Overall, the results suggest interparental conflict during divorce is relevant to offspring outcomes, perhaps particularly within emotion regulation.

摘要

离婚的后代通常比完整婚姻的后代更容易受到负面心理健康结果的影响。然而，并非所有离婚案件都是相同的。本研究旨在通过调查离婚过程中父母间冲突对后代幸福感的作用，为离婚文献做出贡献。来自离婚家庭的 144 名成年本科生的便利样本完成了有关对父母间冲突和心理健康、人际交往能力、非理性信念、物质取向和情绪失调的看法的问卷调查。离婚期间父母间冲突的感知与非理性思维和情绪失调呈正相关，与心理健康和人际交往能力呈负相关。MANOVA 显示，参与者对父母间冲突的看法对除物质主义以外的所有利益因素都有显着的预测能力。在模型中，父母间的冲突对情绪失调的影响最大。与低感知组相比，感知高父母间冲突的参与者在所有变量（除了物质主义，这是不显着的）都有更大的损伤。与中等感知组相比，他们在人际交往能力、情绪调节和理性思维方面也表现出更大的损害。总体而言，结果表明离婚期间的父母间冲突与后代的结果有关，尤其是在情绪调节方面。在模型中，父母间的冲突对情绪失调的影响最大。与低感知组相比，感知高父母间冲突的参与者在所有变量（除了物质主义，这是不显着的）都有更大的损伤。与中等感知组相比，他们在人际交往能力、情绪调节和理性思维方面也表现出更大的损害。总体而言，结果表明离婚期间的父母间冲突与后代的结果有关，尤其是在情绪调节方面。在模型中，父母间的冲突对情绪失调的影响最大。与低感知组相比，感知高父母间冲突的参与者在所有变量（除了物质主义，这是不显着的）都有更大的损伤。与中等感知组相比，他们在人际交往能力、情绪调节和理性思维方面也表现出更大的损害。总体而言，结果表明离婚期间的父母间冲突与后代的结果有关，尤其是在情绪调节方面。与中等感知组相比，他们在人际交往能力、情绪调节和理性思维方面也表现出更大的损害。总体而言，结果表明离婚期间的父母间冲突与后代的结果有关，尤其是在情绪调节方面。与中等感知组相比，他们在人际交往能力、情绪调节和理性思维方面也表现出更大的损害。总体而言，结果表明离婚期间的父母间冲突与后代的结果有关，尤其是在情绪调节方面。
