这项研究以 210 名一年级学生为样本，考察了儿童的同伴信息处理，作为他们对父母间和亲子关系的不安全表征与学校适应之间关联的解释机制。与情感安全理论（P. T. Davies & E. M. Cummings，1994）一致，研究结果表明，儿童对父母关系的不安全表征通过与压力性同伴事件的负面信息处理相关，与他们的学业功能间接相关。不安全的亲子关系与消极的同伴信息处理模式特别相关，而消极的信息处理模式反过来又预示着儿童适应不良的情况在一年内会增加。在考虑到亲子关系的表征、儿童负面影响的特质测量以及作为分析中的预测因子的社会经济特征后，这些路径仍然稳健。
This study examined children's peer information processing as an explanatory mechanism underlying the association between their insecure representations of interparental and parent-child relationships and school adjustment in a sample of 210 first graders. Consistent with emotional security theory (P. T. Davies & E. M. Cummings, 1994), results indicated that children's insecure representations of the interparental relationship were indirectly related to their academic functioning through association with their negative information processing of stressful peer events. Insecure interparental relationships were specifically linked with negative peer information processing patterns that, in turn, predicted increases in child maladjustment over a 1-year period. These pathways remained robust after taking into account the roles of representations of parent-child relationships, trait measures of child negative affect, and socioeconomic characteristics as predictors in the analyses.
