This study examined the associations between perceived and observed coparenting and toddlers' adaptive functioning. Seventy-seven typically developing toddlers aged between 21 and 27 months and their biological parents residing in Ireland participated in the study. Participating families were Caucasian and English speaking. Parents' perceived coparental relationship was assessed via self-report. In addition, coparenting dynamics were observed during triadic free-play and structured-play tasks. Mothers reported on their toddlers' adaptive functioning. Results indicated a negative association between undermining coparenting and toddlers' social and communication adaptive skills. Findings from the current study highlight the critical role played by triadic family processes in young children's development.

观察和报告共同养育和幼儿的适应性功能

这项研究检查了感知和观察到的共同养育与幼儿的适应性功能之间的关联。77 名年龄在 21 至 27 个月之间的典型发育中的幼儿及其居住在爱尔兰的亲生父母参与了这项研究。参与的家庭是白种人和说英语的人。通过自我报告评估父母感知的共同父母关系。此外，在三元自由游戏和结构化游戏任务中观察到共同养育动态。母亲们报告了他们蹒跚学步的孩子的适应性功能。结果表明，削弱共同养育与幼儿的社交和沟通适应技能之间存在负相关。当前研究的结果强调了三元家庭过程在幼儿发展中发挥的关键作用。
