“…This strategy has been used in other studies employing similar clustering techniques (see Fowers & Olson, 1992; Lavee & Olson, 1993). Following a procedure outlined by Bayer and Day (1995), each of the four derived scale scores was entered for both husband and wife. Inspection of the cluster analyses revealed that a five‐cluster solution provided a feasible outcome.…”

This article introduces a new self-report instrument designed to measure the frequency of parental behaviors thought to promote or undermine children's sense of family. Members of 103 married couples rated their behavior in both public (all family members present) and private (alone with child) contexts. Factor analyses of these data revealed four distinct factors indexing: behaviors in the service of promoting a sense of Family Integrity, largely covert parent-to-child communications undermining, or conveying Disparagement of, the coparental partner; overt interparental Conflict in the presence of the child; and coparental disciplinary activities (Reprimand). Significant husband-wife correlations were found on each of the four individual subscales. Construct-specific intercorrelations also obtained between like scales on the new measure and on the Family Environment Scale and Quality of Coparenting Scale. Cluster analyses of husbands' and wives' scores on the four Coparenting Scale factors suggested five "types" of coparenting families: Disconnected, Supportive, Average, Distressed-Conflicted, and Passionate. These clusters, along with the value of self-report instruments in assessing coparenting behaviors that may be largely clandestine in nature, are discussed.

“…Intergenerational intimacy, autonomy versus fusion, intergenerational intimidation, and intergenerational individuation significantly predicted various identity statuses. The few studies that have examined intergenerational transmission of patterns of relating among married couples have found some support for assumptions of intergenerational influence (Bayer & Day, 1995;Sabatelli & Bartle-Haring, 2003;Winn, Crawford, & Wampler, 1995). For example, Sabetelli and Bartle-Haring (2003) found that husbands and wives' familyof-origin experiences significantly predicted marital adjustment among husbands and wives.…”

Gender and Generation: The Relative Influence of Intimacy and Individuation With Mother and With Father for Spousal Intimacy and Individuation Among Dual-Earner Husbands and Wives

Drawing on anchor points from earlier scholarly work contained in family therapy perspectives, this study examined intimacy and individuation among husbands and wives from gender-sensitive and intergenerational perspectives. Scales assessing personal authority in the family system were utilized to ascertain husbands and wives' perceptions of intimacy and individuation with mother, with father, and with their spouse. The relative influence of intimacy and individuation with mother and father for spousal intimacy and individuation was examined. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that intimacy and individuation with mother predicted spousal individuation and that individuation with father predicted spousal intimacy. Clinical implications of these results for narrative approaches to therapy are discussed.

“…Les scores aux PAFS-Q sont associés à la qualité de la satisfaction conjugale (Bray et ai., 1984b;Côté, 1993), au degré de flexibilité dans les échanges conjugaux (Winn, Crawford, & Wampler, 1995), à l'intensité de la codépendance chez les couples dont un membre est alcoolique (Prest, Benson, & Protinsky, 1998) et à la qualité de résolution des stades de la vie adulte tels que définis par Erikson (Cebik, 1988), dont entre autres la question de l'intimité (Garbarino et al, 1995). De plus, le PAFS-Q permet de créer une typologie conjugale (quatre types) (Bayer, 1995). Outre ces associations significatives à diverses composantes de la vie conjugale, la qualité des liens intergénérationnels tels que mesurés par le PAFS-Q est significativement associée à la qualité du développement général du jeune adulte (Johnson & McNeil, 1998;Johnson & Nelson, 1998) mais aussi de l'adulte plus mature (Cebik, 1988;JRabin, Bressler, &J?rager, 1993).…”
