在情感安全假说的指导下，本研究报告了一种新的自我报告措施，评估儿童的策略，在父母间冲突的背景下，维护情感安全的发展。参与者是924名六年级、七年级和八年级的学生，以及他们的母亲、父亲和老师。父母间子系统（SIS）量表的探索性和验证性因素分析支持七因素解决方案，与三个组成过程（即，情绪反应、对父母影响的调节和内部表征）。SIS分量表表现出令人满意的内部一致性和重测信度。SIS量表的有效性得到了支持，其与儿童对冲突的公开反应的父母报告，6个月后儿童对父母间冲突模拟的反应，以及儿童的心理适应不良和多个被调查者之间的父母间冲突的经验历史（即，孩子、母亲、父亲和老师）。结果进行了讨论的背景下，发展建议使用SIS和推进情绪安全假说。
Guided by the emotional security hypothesis, this study reports on the development of a new self-report measure that assesses children's strategies for preserving emotional security in the context of interparental conflict. Participants were 924 sixth, seventh, and eighth graders and a subset of their mothers, fathers, and teachers. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of the Security in the Interparental Subsystem (SIS) Scale supported a seven-factor solution, corresponding well to the three component processes (i.e., emotional reactivity, regulation of exposure to parent affect, and internal representations) outlined in the emotional security hypothesis. The SIS subscales demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Support for the validity of the SIS Scale is evidenced by its significant links with parent reports of children's overt reactivity to conflict, children's responses to interparental conflict simulations 6 months later, and children's psychological maladjustment and experiential histories with interparental conflict across multiple informants (i.e., child, mother, father, and teacher). Results are discussed in the context of developing recommendations for use of the SIS and advancing the emotional security hypothesis.
