为了进一步概念化的溢出假说，本研究探讨了条件和机制的基础上传输的困扰，从父母间的关系，养育困难超过2年的时间在233名母亲（M = 35.0年）和父亲（M = 36.8年）的幼儿园儿童的样本。自回归结构方程模型的结果表明，父母的性别调节之间的关系，父母的心理控制和不敏感的儿童的负面影响。父母间的冲突和养育困难之间的途径，在2年的时间是显着的父亲，但不是母亲。分析的不安全感和抑郁症状的情感溢出机制发现，成人关系的不安全感是一个显着的调解员之间的途径，父母冲突和养育困难的父亲。
Toward advancing conceptualizations of the spillover hypothesis, this study examined the conditions and mechanisms underlying the transmission of distress from the interparental relationship to parenting difficulties over a 2-year period in a sample of 233 mothers (M = 35.0 years) and fathers (M = 36.8 years) of kindergarten children. Findings from autoregressive structural equation models indicated that parents' gender moderated associations between interparental conflict and parental psychological control and insensitivity to children's negative affect. Pathways between interparental conflict and parenting difficulties over the 2-year period were significant for fathers but not mothers. Analysis of insecurity and depressive symptoms as affective mechanisms of spillover revealed that adult relationship insecurity was a significant mediator in the pathways between interparental conflict and parenting difficulties experienced by fathers.
