本研究以201名2岁儿童及其母亲为研究对象，考察了脾气暴躁和恐惧焦虑在父母冲突和儿童行为问题之间的调节作用。采用多方法的前瞻性设计，研究结果显示，在1年的时间里，父母间冲突与儿童行为问题变化之间的关系被脾气暴躁所调节。与差异易感性理论一致的是，高易怒性儿童不仅在高冲突环境中表现出较差的结果，而且在低冲突环境中表现出较好的适应能力。中介调节分析显示，恐惧反应在一定程度上解释了易怒儿童更容易受到影响的原因，尤其是在解释为什么父母之间的冲突较少时，他们表现得更好。
This study examined temperamental irritability and fearful distress as moderators of the association between interparental conflict and child behavior problems in a disadvantaged sample of two hundred and one 2-year-old children and their mothers. Using a multimethod, prospective design, findings revealed that the relation between interparental conflict and changes in child behavior problems over a 1-year period were moderated by temperamental irritability. Consistent with differential susceptibility theory, children high in irritable temperament not only exhibited poorer outcomes in contexts of high interparental conflict but also better adjustment in contexts of low levels of interparental conflict. Mediated moderation analyses revealed that fearful reactivity partly accounted for the greater susceptibility of irritable children, particularly in explaining why they fared better when interparental conflict was low.
