Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The present study examines the mediating effect of marital intimacy in the relationship between parental self-differentiation and parenting attitude by using the standard APIMeM (Actor and Partner Interdependence Mediation Model).
Methods: A total of 220 pairs of parents with a child (children) aged from 5 to 13 were recruited for participation in the study.
Results: First, the results indicated that the self-differentiation of parents affected not only themselves but also the marital intimacy of the partner. Second, the self-differentiation of parents affected their parenting attitude, and the mother’s self-differentiation also affected the father’s parenting attitude. Third, the father’s marital intimacy only affected his parenting attitude. Fourth, the parents’ self-differentiation affected the father’s parenting attitude through the medium of the father’s marital intimacy.
Conclusions: The study provided opportunities to understand how both parents influence their own and their partner’s parental attitude differently based on level of self-differentiation.
