背景：在向青春期过渡的过程中，外化行为的增加可能使儿童处于发展精神障碍和相关问题的风险之中。虽然儿童调节情绪的能力似乎是影响适应不良风险的一个关键因素，但青春期的情绪过程仍未得到充分研究。在这项纵向研究中，我们研究了一个多层次的中介模型，在该模型中，父母的情绪辅导被假定为影响青少年的能力，以调节他们的情绪，这反过来又影响他们的表达问题behaviors.Methods：我们招募了一个代表性的社区样本的244个家庭的生物兄弟姐妹对，包括一个孩子在小学后期和一个孩子在中学。母亲Meta情绪访谈编码为母亲情绪辅导和青少年愤怒困难。母亲们还完成了关于青少年易怒的问卷调查。青少年问题行为的评级获得了母亲和教师的问卷调查，在两个时间点完成。使用结构方程模型，结构被划分为组件在年长和年幼的兄弟姐妹检查共享和非共享的方差和contextual effects.Results：横截面数据表明，母亲的情绪教练的愤怒是有关更好的愤怒调节青少年的兄弟姐妹，这是，反过来又与较少的外化行为。尽管纵向数据对中介效应的支持有限，但哥哥姐姐和弟弟妹妹在调节愤怒方面的困难都预测了三年后青少年的外化行为。其他纵向预测外化行为观察年幼的兄弟姐妹。特别是，情绪教练的愤怒的母亲与减少外化行为，而相反，年长的兄弟姐妹的外化行为与增加外化行为在年幼的siblings over time.Conclusions：研究结果强调了考虑家庭情绪过程中理解青少年问题行为的重要性。母亲对青少年愤怒情绪的指导和青少年难以调节愤怒情绪都会影响青少年的外化行为。情绪辅导干预似乎值得考虑，以提高针对青少年外化行为的预防和干预计划的影响。
Background:Increases in externalizing behaviors during the transition to adolescence may put children at risk for developing mental disorders and related problems. Although children’s ability to regulate their emotions appears to be a key factor influencing risk for maladjustment, emotion processes during adolescence remain understudied. In this longitudinal study, we examined a multi‐level mediational model in which emotion coaching by parents was posited to influence the ability of adolescents to regulate their emotions, which in turn influences their expression of problem behaviors.Methods:We recruited a representative community sample of 244 families with biological sibling pairs comprising a child in late elementary school and a child in middle school. Maternal meta‐emotion interviews were coded for mother emotion coaching and adolescent difficulty with anger. Mothers also completed questionnaires on adolescent irritability. Ratings of adolescent problem behaviors were obtained from mother and teacher questionnaires completed at two time points. Using structural equation modeling, constructs were partitioned into components across older and younger siblings to examine shared and nonshared variance and contextual effects.Results:Cross‐sectional data indicated that mothers' emotion coaching of anger was related to better anger regulation in adolescent siblings, which was, in turn related to less externalizing behavior. Although support for mediational effects was limited in the longitudinal data, both older and younger siblings' difficulties in regulating anger predicted adolescent externalizing behavior three years later. Additional longitudinal predictors of externalizing behavior were observed for younger siblings. In particular, emotion coaching of anger by mothers was associated with decreased externalizing behavior, while conversely, older siblings' externalizing behavior was associated with increased externalizing behavior in the younger siblings over time.Conclusions:The findings highlight the importance of considering family emotion processes in understanding adolescent problem behavior. Both maternal emotion coaching of adolescent anger and adolescent difficulty in regulating anger influenced adolescent externalizing behavior. Emotion coaching interventions seem worthy of consideration for enhancing the impact of prevention and intervention programs targeting youth externalizing behaviors.
