semenvatting

In dit onderzoek zijn verbanden onderzocht tussen de ouder-kind relatie en de sociaal-emotionele ontwikkeling gedurende de levensloop. Er werden gegevens gebruikt van 212 personen die van hun geboorte tot en met hun zevenendertigste jaar zijn gevolgd. sem-analyses maakten duidelijk dat een lagere affectieve kwaliteit van ouder-kind relaties gerelateerd was aan een hoger niveau van conflict en lagere kwaliteit van communicatie met ouders in de adolescentie. Deze conflictueuze ouder-adolescent relaties waren op hun beurt weer verbonden met een lagere kwaliteit van partnerrelaties in de jongvolwassenheid, en meer ontevredenheid met het leven (maar niet depressie of angst) tijdens de middenvolwassenheid, op 37-jarige leeftijd.

This study examined associations between childhood relationships with parents and later social-emotional development. Data were used from 212 children followed from birth until their 37th birthday. sem analyses demonstrated that negative parent-child bonds were indirectly related to low-quality partner relationships and dissatisfaction with life in adulthood (but not anxiety and depression), through conflictuous parent-adolescent communications and low-quality partner relationships in young adulthood.

Keywords: parent-child relationships, partner relationship quality, emotional adjustment.
