检验溢出假说的实证研究在很大程度上证实了由敌意和愤怒组成的父母间冲突对父母行为具有负面影响，并对儿童的发展产生连锁效应。然而，很少有人知道如何建设性形式的父母间的冲突可能会在溢出过程中运作。为此，本研究探讨了父母间的支持和解决问题的方法，冲突与父母指导的学习，在bridving上下文中，并通过扩展幼儿的执行功能。参与者包括231个家庭（母亲，父亲和他们的孩子）。建设性的父母间冲突的评估来自两个观察任务和多信息提供者的报告。在目标导向的亲子互动过程中，通过观察来评估父母支持性问题解决能力。儿童的抑制控制，工作记忆和视觉空间推理进行了评估，使用验证任务。在结构方程模型框架中进行了分析，并使用RMediation对间接路径的显著性进行了测试。结果表明，建设性的父母间的冲突与母亲的支持性问题解决的增加，这反过来又预示着儿童的工作记忆的增加。此外，建设性的父母间冲突间接与儿童的抑制控制通过父亲的支持性问题解决的增加。在控制了儿童性别、母亲和父亲的年龄以及母亲和父亲的教育程度后，这些发现在两波数据收集中具有重要意义。研究结果强调，家庭弹性理论和域的方法来养育增加的特异性和精度，在确定溢出过程的潜在效用。
Empirical research examining the Spillover Hypothesis has largely substantiated that interparental conflict comprised of hostility and anger has negative implications for parenting behaviors and cascading effects on children’s development. However, less is known about how constructive forms of interparental conflict may operate in spillover processes. Toward this, the present study examined how interparental supportive and problem-solving approaches to conflict were associated with parental guided learning in the caregiving context and by extension young children’s executive functioning. Participants included 231 families (mothers, fathers, and their child). Assessments of constructive interparental conflict were derived from both observational tasks and multi-informant report. Parental supportive problem solving was assessed observationally during a goal-directed parent–child interaction. Children’s inhibitory control, working memory, and visual–spatial reasoning were assessed using validated tasks. Analyses were conducted in a structural equation modeling framework, and significance of indirect paths were tested using RMediation. Results showed constructive interparental conflict was associated with increases in maternal supportive problem solving, which in turn predicted increases in children’s working memory. Furthermore, constructive interparental conflict was indirectly associated with increases in children’s inhibitory control via paternal supportive problem solving. These findings were significant over two waves of data collection after controlling for child sex, maternal and paternal age, and maternal and paternal education. Findings underscore the potential utility of family resilience theory and domain approaches to parenting for increasing specificity and precision in identifying spillover processes.
