人们对儿童情绪处理在改变儿童对父母冲突的脆弱性方面所起的作用知之甚少。为了解决这一差距，本研究探讨了涉及儿童接触父母间冲突、他们对父母间冲突的不安全反应以及他们的心理问题的中介级联是否会随着儿童先前存在的关注愤怒、恐惧、悲伤和快乐表达的偏见而变化。参与者包括 243 名儿童（M 年龄 = 4.60 岁）及其父母，每年进行三次测量。交叉滞后自回归设计中的调节中介分析表明，父母间冲突、情绪不安全感和心理问题之间的间接路径对于对愤怒和恐惧情绪表现出更大注意偏差的儿童来说非常重要。对愤怒和恐惧的更多关注特别调节了调解路径中的第一个环节。对于那些更长时间关注愤怒和恐惧暗示的孩子来说，父母间的冲突是情绪不安全感的一个明显更强的预测因素。与环境敏感性理论一致，对愤怒和恐惧情绪有注意偏差的儿童在经历了父母间冲突加剧后表现出不成比例的较高水平的情绪不安全感，但在经历了最小程度的父母间冲突后表现出较低水平的情绪不安全感。
Little is known about the role children’s processing of emotions plays in altering children’s vulnerability to interparental conflict. To address this gap, the present study examined whether the mediational cascade involving children’s exposure to interparental conflict, their insecure responses to interparental conflict, and their psychological problems varied as a function of children’s pre-existing biases to attend to angry, fearful, sad, and happy expressions. Participants included 243 children (M age = 4.60 years) and their parents assessed at three annual measurement occasions. Moderated-mediation analyses within a cross-lagged autoregressive design indicated that the indirect paths among interparental conflict, emotional insecurity, and psychological problems were significant for children who exhibited greater attentional biases toward angry and fearful emotions. Greater attention to anger and fear specifically moderated the first link in the mediational path. Interparental conflict was a significantly stronger predictor of emotional insecurity for children who attended to angry and fearful cues longer. Consistent with environmental sensitivity theories, children with attentional biases to angry and fearful emotions exhibited disproportionately higher levels of emotional insecurity following exposure to heightened interparental conflict but also lower levels of emotional insecurity after experiencing minimal interparental conflict.
