在一项三波纵向研究中，作者检验了有关儿童对婚姻关系影响的假设，研究了父母间的不和与儿童的消极情绪反应、代理行为、失调行为和心理社会调整之间的关系。参与者是 232 名同居母亲和父亲，他们完成了问卷调查和婚姻冲突解决任务。与理论一致，父母间的不和谐与儿童的负面情绪反应有关，而负面情绪反应又与儿童的代理和失调行为有关。代理行为与父母间不和谐的减少有关，而失调行为与不和谐的增加和儿童适应问题的加剧有关。对代理和失调反应的以人为本的分析表明，不同的儿童群体与婚姻和心理社会功能方面有意义的个体差异有关。研究结果根据儿童影响的可能机制进行了讨论，例如父母对儿童痛苦的认识的提高可能会减少婚姻冲突。
In a 3-wave longitudinal study, the authors tested hypotheses regarding children's influence on the marital relationship, examining relations between interparental discord and children's negative emotional reactivity, agentic behavior, dysregulated behavior, and psychosocial adjustment. Participants were 232 cohabiting mothers and fathers who completed questionnaires and a marital conflict resolution task. Consistent with theory, interparental discord related to children's negative emotional reactivity, which in turn related to children's agentic and dysregulated behavior. Agentic behavior related to decreases in interparental discord, whereas dysregulated behavior related to increases in discord and elevations in children's adjustment problems. Person-oriented analyses of agentic and dysregulated responses indicated distinct clusters of children linked with meaningful individual differences in marital and psychosocial functioning. Results are discussed in terms of possible mechanisms of child effects, such as increased parental awareness of children's distress potentially leading to reduced marital conflict.
