5至12岁儿童的父母（一半被诊断患有自闭症谱系障碍[ASD]，另一半通常正在发展）提供了当天最重要的婚姻冲突报告，并在14天内每天对儿童行为问题进行评级。ASD组的母亲和父亲报告说，在日常生活中，与任何孩子在场的冲突更多，与目标孩子在场的冲突更多，而不是与发育正常的孩子。ASD组的父亲（而不是母亲）报告了更多的冲突，包括与儿童相关的主题，尽管各组的父母在报告婚姻冲突方面没有差异，特别是讨论了研究的目标儿童。从多层次模型的结果显示，在婚姻冲突和父母的情绪，儿童的存在之间的人的关联;具体而言，儿童的存在与较低的二元积极性和较高的二元愤怒，根据母亲和父亲。此外，研究结果还发现，婚姻冲突期间儿童的存在与讨论某些冲突主题（讨论任何儿童和研究目标儿童的可能性增加）之间存在着显着的、积极的人内关联。这些直接关联在母亲和父亲的报告中一致，并且在ASD和对照家庭中没有变化。多层次模型侧重于研究的目标儿童的婚姻冲突的影响，一般发现儿童的存在，在冲突和讨论儿童为主题的冲突主题，以预测更高层次的行为问题，在日常生活中。一个调节效应被确定，与儿童的存在在冲突中相关的更高的行为问题，根据母亲在ASD组，但不是那些在对照组。
Parents of 5-to 12-year-old children (half had been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder [ASD] and half were typically developing) provided reports of the most significant marital conflict of the day and ratings of child behaviors problems on a daily basis for 14 days. Mothers and fathers in the ASD group reported having more conflicts in daily life with any children present and more conflicts with the target child present than their counterparts with typically developing children did. Fathers (but not mothers) in the ASD group reported more conflicts as including child-related themes, although parents across the groups did not differ in their reporting marital conflict that specifically discussed the study’s target child. Results from multilevel modeling revealed within-person associations between child presence during marital conflict and parents’ emotions; specifically, child presence was related to lower dyadic positivity and higher dyadic anger, according to both mothers and fathers. In addition, results identified significant, positive within-person associations between child presence during marital conflict and discussing certain conflict topics (increased likelihoods of discussing any children and the study’s target children). These direct associations were found consistently across mothers’ and fathers’ reports, and did not vary across ASD and comparison families. Multilevel models focused on implications of the marital conflict for the study’s target children generally found child presence during conflict and discussion of child-themed conflict topics to predict higher levels of behavior problems in daily life. One moderating effect was identified, with child presence during conflict related to higher behavior problems according to mothers in the ASD group but not those in the comparison group.
