Perfis de vinculação, coparentalidade e ajustamento familiar em pais recém-divorciados: Diferenças no ajustamento psicológico

Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify, using a cluster analysis, profiles of individual-dyadic-systemic regulation in newly divorced parents (N=81). Three profiles of regulation were identified: secure/regulated (SR), anxious/dysregulated (AD) and avoidant/dysregulated (ED). The SR group reported higher levels of attachment security and high levels of perceived parenting alliance and family adjustment than AD and ED groups. Coparenting and family functioning were the dimensions that better discriminate between clusters. Assessing the newly divorced parents' psychological adjustment using the three profiles found, the parents of SR group showed higher levels of psychological adjustment than the ones in the other two groups. There were no differences in psychological adjustment between the AD and ED groups.
