对冲突过程的研究通常侧重于解决分歧的方式，因此关系恶化是谈判失败的结果。然而，冲突管理策略可能不是父母与青少年冲突的最显着特征，因为这些关系是强制性的，权力分配不均，谈判解决方案是出乎意料的。相反，父母与青少年的关系可能对交流的情感基调比解决争端的方式更敏感。在两项研究中，我们检验了这样一个前提：母亲和青春期儿童之间的分歧所造成的关系损害是负面情绪和未能妥协的产物。同时进行的分析涉及 101 名（33 名男孩，68 名女孩）青少年（男 = 13.89 岁）关于与母亲冲突的报告。纵向分析涉及 271 名（112 名男孩，159 名女孩）青少年（M = 11.6 岁）在相隔 1 年的两个时间点与母亲发生冲突的报告。妥协与青少年负面情绪呈中度相关；当两者都被纳入冲突引起的不利关系后果的预测因素时，负面影响几乎解释了所有同时和未来的差异。学者和从业者向家庭建议，通过谈判解决分歧有助于避免关系破裂，他们的努力可能会受到阻碍，除非同样强调尽量减少负面影响。
The study of conflict processes often focuses on the manner in which disagreements are resolved, such that relationship deterioration is a product of the failure to negotiate. However, conflict management tactics may not be the most salient feature of parent–adolescent conflicts because these relationships are obligatory, with power unevenly distributed, and negotiated resolutions unanticipated. Instead, parent–adolescent relationships may be more sensitive to the affective tenor of the interchange than the manner in which the dispute is resolved. In two studies, we examined the premise that relationship damage arising from disagreements between mothers and adolescent children is a product of negative affect and failure to compromise. Concurrent analyses involved reports from 101 (33 boys, 68 girls) adolescents (M = 13.89 years old) about conflict with mothers. Longitudinal analyses involved reports from 271 (112 boys, 159 girls) adolescents (M = 11.6 years old at the outset) about conflict with mothers at two time points 1 year apart. Compromise and youth negative affect were moderately correlated; when both were included as predictors of adverse relationship consequences arising from conflict, negative affect accounted for almost all of the variance, concurrently and prospectively. Scholars and practitioners who advise families that negotiated resolutions to disagreements help to avoid relationship disruption may be discouraged in their efforts unless a similar emphasis is placed on minimizing negative affect.
