The main goals of the present study were to investigate coparenting the effects of coparenting patterns and family characteristics on parenting stress. The subjects of the present study included 805 pairs of parents in Taipei City and Taipei County. These parents had at least one child who was 1st -2nd or 5th – 6th graders in elementary school. Three instruments were used in the present study including \u201cParenting Alliance Scale\u201d, \u201cParental Involvement Scale\u201d, and \u201cParenting Stress Scale\u201d. The results showed, first of all, there were three coparenting patterns: \u201csupport and involvement\u201d, \u201cundermining and withdrawal\u201d, and \u201chigh maternal involvement\u201d. Secondly, based on the analyses of family level, mothers experienced a higher level of parenting stress than fathers did. Compaed to parents in \u201chigh maternal involvement pattern\u201d, parents in \u201csupport and involvement pattern\u201d experienced a lower level of parenting stress in every aspect; however, parents in \u201cundermining and withdrawal\u201d experienced a higher level of parenting stress in the \u201cparent-child relationship\u201d aspect and a lower level of parenting stress in the \u201chealth and development\u201daspect. As for the \u201clife adjustment\u201d and \u201cparenting argument\u201d, aspects of parenting stress, there were no significant differences between parents in \u201chigh maternal involvement\u201d and parents in \u201cundermining and withdrawal\u201d. Finally, parents with lower father income experienced a higher level of parenting stress ing the \u201cparent-child relationship,\u201d \u201chealth and development,\u201d and \u201cparenting argument\u201d aspects parents with sons, or parents with fewer children, or mothers without full-time jobs expericened a higher level of parenting stress in the \u201cparent-child relationship\u201d aspect; parents with 1st \u2013 2nd graders experienced a higher level of parenting stress in the \u201clife adjustment\u201d aspect. The results showed that parents in \u201csupport and involvement\u201d experienced a lower level of parenting stress.
