Abstract: This study explored how father coparenting behavior influenced peer attachment in families with adolescents, based on family systems theory, ecological model of coparenting and internal working model in attachment theory. A total of 3045 adolescents were tested using the father subscale of Adolescence Revision of Coparenting Scale, father and peer items of The Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment, the neuroticism dimension from Five-Factor Personality Questionnaire for Midd1e School Student.Results suggested that:(1) Father-child attachment played a mediating role between father coparenting behavior (only for family integrity and disparagement) and peer attachment. (2) adolescents' neuroticism moderated the relationship between father-child attachment and peer attachment. And the relationship between father-child attachment and peer attachment became weaker as neuroticism increased. The current study not only supports ecological model of coparenting, but also provides new perspective for practice in father coparenting.
