- Abstract : Current research supports clear relationships between parental psychopathology, parental maltreatment, and emerging adult child psychopathology. Less research has examined how the role of the parent–child relationship influences these existing associations. The current study tested two models that examined the moderating effect of parent–child relationship quality on parental psychopathology and emerging adult mental health as well as the effect on parental maltreatment and emerging adult mental health. It was expected that high parent–child relationship quality would buffer against the negative effects of parental psychopathology and maltreatment while enhancing the effects of functional parenting characteristics. Participants included 1, 452 emerging adults, predominantly Caucasian (73.3%) college students who completed surveys on their mental health, recent experienced maltreatment, and their parents' mental health problems. Results suggested lowest rates of mental health problems for emerging adults were associated with higher parent–child relationship quality and lower parental psychological problems, whereas negative outcomes were associated with higher parental psychopathology, regardless of parent–child relationship quality. Additionally, physical maltreatment was associated with lower rates of mental health concerns in the context of higher mother‐daughter relationship quality. Results emphasize the continuing impact of the parent–child relationship,Abstract : Current research supports clear relationships between parental psychopathology, parental maltreatment, and emerging adult child psychopathology.

Abstract : Las investigaciones actuales respaldan las relaciones claras entre la psicopatología parental, el maltrato parental y la psicopatología del niño adulto emergente. Pocas investigaciones han analizado cómo el rol de la relación entre padres e hijos influye en estas asociaciones existentes. El presente estudio evaluó dos modelos que analizaron el efecto moderador de la calidad de la relación entre padres e hijos en la psicopatología parental y la salud mental del adulto emergente, así como el efecto en el maltrato parental y la salud mental del adulto emergente. Se esperaba que una alta calidad de la relación entre padres e hijos amortiguara los efectos negativos del maltrato y la psicopatología parental y a su vez mejorara los efectos de las características funcionales de crianza. Los participantes fueron 1452 estudiantes universitarios adultos emergentes predominantemente caucásicos (73, 3%) que contestaron encuestas sobre su salud mental, el maltrato sufrido recientemente y los problemas de salud mental de sus padres. Los resultados sugirieron que los índices más bajos de problemas de salud mental en los adultos emergentes estuvieron asociados con una mejor calidad de la relación entre padres e hijos y menos problemas psicológicos de los padres, mientras que los resultados negativos estuvieron asociados con una psicopatología parental más alta, independientemente de la calidad de la relación entre padres e hijos. Además, el maltrato físico estuvo asociado con índices más bajos de preocupaciones sobre la salud mental en el contexto de una mejor calidad de la relación entre madre e hija. Los resultados destacan el efecto permanente de la relación entre padres e hijos, particularmente de la relación entre madre e hija, en la salud mental de los adultos emergentes. Además, el presente estudio demuestra la influencia continua de los padres en sus hijos adultos emergentes. Abstract : 当前研究支持家长精神病, 家长虐待以及刚成年子女精神病之间的明确关系。较少有研究考察家长‐孩子关系角色如何影响现有关联。该研究测试了两个模型来考察家长‐孩子关系质量对于家长精神病和刚成年人心理健康的调节效果以及对于家长虐待和刚成年人心理健康的影响。预期高家长‐孩子关系质量会缓和家长精神病和虐待的负面影响, 同时提升功能亲职特点效果。参与者包括1452名刚成年人, 以白人(73.3%)大学生为主。这些参与者完成了关于其精神健康, 最近经历的虐待, 以及其家长精神健康问题的问卷调查。结果显示刚成年人中最低的精神健康问题发病率和较高的家长‐孩子关系质量以及较低的家长心理问题相关, 而负面结果和较高的家长精神病概率相关, 并和家长‐孩子关系质量无关。此外, 身体虐待和较高母女关系质量背景下较低的精神健康关注相关。结果强调了家长‐孩子关系, 特别是母女关系, 对刚成年人精神健康的持续影响。此外, 该研究表明家长对于其刚成年子女的持续影响。 … (more)
