<p>Work-to-family conflicts have been portrayed as a significant contextual factor for coparenting behaviors.

摘要

Work-to-family conflicts have been portrayed as a significant contextual factor for coparenting behaviors. This study employed an interdependent approach (actor-partner interdependent mediating modeling) to examine the relationships between parental work-to-family conflicts and coparenting behaviors, along with the indirect effect of parenting stress. Additionally, the study investigated developmental differences across three adolescent age groups (early: 10–12 years old, middle: 13–15 years old, late: 16–18 years old). Mothers, fathers, and adolescents from 830 families participated in this study. Mothers and fathers reported their work-to-family conflicts and parenting stress, while adolescents rated mothers and fathers’ individual positive and negative coparenting behaviors. In the actor-partner interdependence mediation model, maternal work-to-family conflicts were related to their own and their partner’s positive and negative coparenting behaviors through the indirect effects of both maternal and paternal parenting stress. Paternal work-to-family conflicts were related to maternal positive coparenting behaviors, as well as paternal positive and negative coparenting behaviors through the indirect effects of only paternal parenting stress. Our findings revealed significant differences in the relationships across different stages during adolescence. Maternal work-to-family conflicts was more strongly related to maternal and paternal positive coparenting behaviors in early compared to late adolescence. The findings support the influence of work-to-family conflicts on coparenting behaviors through the indirect effect of parenting stress and significant developmental differences in the relationships during adolescence. This study provides targeted recommendations for intervention programs.
