这项研究测试了涉及父母间冲突、青少年情绪不安全感及其心理问题的中介途径是否会因童年时期的不安全感而改变。参与者包括 230 个家庭，五次测量中的第一次发生在孩子一年级（中号 = 7 岁）时。结果表明，父母之间的冲突与青少年情绪不安全感的增加有关，这反过来又预示着他们的心理问题随后会增加。即使考虑到当时的家庭经历，童年的不安全感也预示着五年后青少年的适应不良。主持人的调查结果显示，童年时期不安全感水平相对较高的青少年，在父母间冲突程度较高和较低的情况下，不安全感水平分别不成比例地较高和较低。
This study tested whether the mediational pathway involving interparental conflict, adolescent emotional insecurity, and their psychological problems was altered by their earlier childhood histories of insecurity. Participants included 230 families, with the first of the five measurement occasions occurring when children were in first grade (M-age=7years). Results indicated that interparental conflict was associated with increases in adolescent emotional insecurity that, in turn, predicted subsequent increases in their psychological problems. Childhood insecurity predicted adolescent maladjustment 5years later even after considering contemporaneous family experiences. Moderator findings revealed that adolescents with relatively higher levels of insecurity in childhood evidenced disproportionately greater and reduced levels of insecurity in the context of high and low levels of interparental conflict, respectively.
