ABSTRACT

Drawing on the Meeus-Crocetti identity model, it was analysed whether the sense of identity in the parental and romantic domains is related to domain-specific functioning or whether they are related to a broad spectrum of outcomes. Four hundred and fifty-nine individuals (58% women), aged 21‒40 (M = 33.88, SD = 4.39), participated in this cross-sectional study. Using structural equation modelling it was analysed whether the parental and romantic relationship identity processes (commitment, in-depth exploration, reconsideration of commitment) are associated with parental and relational outcomes. The results showed that a sense of parental identity turned out to be mostly related to childrearing stress and parental role restrictions, while a sense of romantic relationship identity was associated with romantic relationship stress and romantic relationship conflicts. The results support a domain-specific approach to the study of identity, suggesting that not only are parental and romantic identities only weakly related to each other, but also that their development is linked to specific parental or relational experiences.

摘要

利用 Meeus-Crocetti 身份模型，分析了父母和浪漫领域的身份认同感是否与特定领域的功能相关，或者它们是否与广泛的结果相关。459 人（58% 为女性），年龄在 21-40 岁（M = 33.88，SD = 4.39），参加了这项横断面研究。使用结构方程模型分析了父母和浪漫关系身份过程（承诺、深入探索、重新考虑承诺）是否与父母和关系结果相关。结果表明，父母认同感主要与育儿压力和父母角色限制有关，而浪漫关系认同感与浪漫关系压力和浪漫关系冲突有关。结果支持特定领域的身份研究方法，表明不仅父母身份和浪漫身份之间的相关性很弱，而且它们的发展与特定的父母或关系经历有关。
