ABSTRACT The present study aimed to determine whether a parent–child gender match would influence child psychological adjustment after divorce. Participants included 69 parents (36 mothers) in active family law litigation to resolve issues related to postdissolution of marriage or time-sharing matters. Participants provided demographic information and completed the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL; Achenbach, 1991) to assess their perceptions of their child’s internalizing and externalizing behavior problems. Results demonstrated that internalizing and externalizing behaviors were not affected by whether children spent more time with the same gender parent, opposite gender parent, or split their time equally between both. Comparisons and contradictions between the results in this study and existing research are discussed, as well as practical implications.

离婚后亲子性别匹配与孩子心理调整

摘要 本研究旨在确定亲子性别匹配是否会影响离婚后儿童的心理调整。参与者包括 69 位父母（36 位母亲），他们参与了积极的家庭法诉讼，以解决与婚姻解除后或分时度假相关的问题。参与者提供人口统计信息并完成儿童行为检查表（CBCL；Achenbach，1991）以评估他们对孩子内化和外化行为问题的看法。结果表明，内化和外化行为不受儿童是否与同性父母、异性父母共度更多时间或在两者之间平均分配时间的影响。讨论了本研究结果与现有研究之间的比较和矛盾，
