| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 人類發展與家庭學系 === 102 === The purpose of this study is to exam parent-child conflicts and relationships satisfaction for middle-aged parents with adolescent children. It is also to test the moderated effect of marital support. The data used in this study are from the Taiwan Youth Project, which surveyed at 2005. The selected samples comprise 1,253 parents, aged between 40 to 64, with at least one adolescent child at senior high. Multiple Regression Analysis is used in examining the influence of parent-child conflict and marital support on parent-child relationships satisfaction. Furthermore, we investigated whether parent-child relationships satisfaction is moderated by marital support and parent-child conflicts. The results indicated the following findings.
First, the conflict frequency was not high between middle-aged parents and adolescent children at senior high. Middle-aged couples felt high marital support from their spouse, and the feelings of being supported by their spouse are stronger in male than female.
Second, parent-adolescent conflicts have negative impacts on the parent-child relationships satisfaction while marital support from spouses has positive impacts on parent-child relationship satisfaction.
Finally, marital support would not moderate the impact on the parent-child relationships satisfaction resulting from parent-adolescent conflicts. In sum, parent-child relationship satisfaction was influenced by two factors: parent-adolescent conflicts and marital support.
