在为期两年的三次互动中，研究对象包括37名典型青少年和35名最近因精神障碍而住院的青少年，探讨了父母间的敌意和青少年行为之间的家庭内协变。在三种互动中，父母间的敌意越多，无论精神背景如何，青少年敌意和更积极的参与(在趋势水平上)都会更多。在每一次互动中，父母对孩子的敌意是青少年敌意的中介，而不是青少年积极参与的联系。情绪调节能力和年龄与存在父母间冲突的青少年行为的变异性有关。在父母间敌意越多的互动中，容忍负面影响能力越强的青少年越有可能表现出更多的积极参与，而能够更好地调节自己的情绪表达的青少年更不可能表现出更多的敌意。随着青少年年龄的增长，父母之间的敌意和青少年之间的敌意在三个家庭互动中的协变减少。这些发现与以下理论一致，即暴露在父母之间的敌意会导致情绪失衡，青少年的反应可能反映了情绪调节和其他基于发育的能力的差异。在父母之间存在敌意的情况下，性别和不同家庭的敌对教养水平也与青少年的行为有关。这项研究部分得到了国家心理健康研究所的资助(RO1 MH 4493)。作者感谢J.Heidi Gralinski-Bakker和Rebecca Billings在这项研究中提供的宝贵帮助。
Within-family covariation between interparental hostility and adolescent behavior across three interactions over a 2-year period was explored in a sample that included 37 typical adolescents and 35 adolescents recently hospitalized for psychiatric difficulties. More interparental hostility across the three interactions was associated with more adolescent hostility and more positive engagement (at a trend level) regardless of psychiatric background. Parent-to-child hostility in each interaction mediated the link for adolescent hostility but not for positive adolescent engagement. Emotion regulation capacities and age were linked to variability in adolescents' behavior in the presence of interparental conflict. In interactions with more interparental hostility, adolescents with greater capacity to tolerate negative affect were more likely to show increased positive engagement, and adolescents who were better able to modulate their emotional expression were less likely to show increased hostility. Covariation between interparental and adolescent hostility across the three family interactions decreased as the adolescent aged. These findings are consistent with the theory that exposure to interparental hostility is emotionally disequilibrating, and that adolescent responses may reflect differences in emotion regulation and other developmentally based capacities. Gender and variations across families in overall levels of hostile parenting were also linked with adolescent behavior in the presence of interparental hostility.This research was supported, in part, by a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (RO1 MH 4493).
