本研究探讨了精神披露在年长青少年与母亲关系中的作用。精神公开被定义为相互公开个人宗教和精神信仰和实践。318名18岁至20岁的大学生和130名他们的母亲报告了他们在关系中的精神表露。根据双方的研究，更多的精神披露与更高的关系满意度、更多的合作解决冲突策略的使用、更少的功能失调的沟通模式、更少的言语攻击以及在全球宗教和人口统计学之外，母亲-青少年关系中增加的一般披露有关。精神披露也预测了协作冲突解决策略的独特差异，超出了这些因素和一般披露。研究结果强调了关注宗教/灵性的人际维度的价值。更具体地说，结果表明，精神上的表露是关系质量的一个指标，它与更好的关系功能有关，值得在家庭动力学研究中进一步关注。
This study examines the role of spiritual disclosure within older adolescent-mother relationships. Spiritual disclosure is defined as mutual disclosure of personal religious and spiritual beliefs and practices. Three hundred 18- to 20-year-old college students and 130 of their mothers reported on spiritual disclosure in their relationships. According to both parties, greater spiritual disclosure was related to higher relationship satisfaction, greater use of collaborative conflict resolution strategies, less dysfunctional communication patterns, less verbal aggression, and increased general disclosure in mother-adolescent relationships beyond global religiousness and demographics. Spiritual disclosure also predicted unique variance in collaborative conflict resolution strategies beyond these factors and general disclosure. The findings underscore the value of attending to the interpersonal dimension of religion/spirituality. More specifically, the results suggest that spiritual disclosure is an indicator of relationship quality, one that is tied to better relationship functioning, and one that merits further attention in studies of family dynamics.
