本研究使用交叉滞后自回归模型检验了婚姻功能和青少年适应不良之间的相互关系。这项研究涉及4511名早期青少年及其家庭，采用前瞻性、纵向研究设计，采用多信息者方法。结果表明，父母在育儿方面的冲突对青少年抑郁症状和青少年犯罪有预测作用。反过来，这些青少年问题加剧了父母在育儿方面的冲突。此外，养育子女的冲突是更普遍的婚姻不满和青少年适应问题相互关联的纽带。这项研究重复了早先的观察结果，即婚姻问题加剧了青少年的不适应，并扩展了文献，证明青少年问题也会预测婚姻冲突，并最终预测婚姻不满。总之，本研究表明，婚姻不满、育儿冲突和青少年早期适应困难在一个动态的家庭系统中交织在一起，这些方面都是互惠的。
The present study examines reciprocal associations between marital functioning and adolescent maladjustment using cross-lagged autoregressive models. The research involved 45 1 early adolescents and their families and used a prospective, longitudinal research design with multi-informant methods. Results indicate that parental conflicts over child rearing predicted adolescent depressive symptoms and delinquency. In turn, these adolescent problems exacerbated parental conflicts over child rearing. Furthermore, conflict over child rearing served as the nexus through which more generalized marital dissatisfaction and adolescent adjustment problems were reciprocally interrelated. This research replicates earlier observations that marital problems intensify adolescent maladjustment and extends the literature by demonstrating that adolescent problems also predict marital conflict and ultimately marital dissatisfaction. In sum, the present study demonstrates that marital dissatisfaction, conflict over child rearing, and early adolescent adjustment difficulties are interwoven in a dynamic family system marked by reciprocity along these dimensions.
