Prospective predictors of parenting satisfaction for fathers and mothers with young children

Article Abstract:

A study of 48 couples with young children indicates a link between Year 8 parenting satisfaction and the parents' personality at the start of the marriage. Fathers' high instrumentality, which includes traits such as assertiveness and leadership qualities, in Year 1 corresponds with high parenting satisfaction. Mothers' Year 1 high expressiveness, which includes cheerfulness, loyalty and tenderness, relates to high parenting satisfaction later. The fact that parents who responded to the study in Year 8 were better educated that those who didn't response points to one of the limitations of the study.

Parenting satisfaction and marital satisfaction in mothers and fathers with young children

Article Abstract:

A study of parenting satisfaction (PS) and marital satisfaction (MS) reveals that PS and MS are generally unrelated among married couples, in the same manner that its respective changes are not related. However, the link between spouses' MS and change in MS proved to be stronger than the link between spouses' PS and change in PS. A typology of satisfaction with family life is proposed as a method of integrating the study of martial relationships and parent-child relationships.
