本研究有两个主要目的：(A)测试愤怒调节在家庭过程和外化问题之间的中介作用；(B)通过调节调节模型，检验文化(特别是独立和相互依赖的自我构念)在愤怒调节和症状学之间的调节作用。设计样本为166名来自美国中西部地区的韩裔美国青少年(54.2%男性)。青少年年龄11~15岁(男13.0岁，SD=1.2岁)。结果愤怒调节变量(单独或集体)在家庭过程(即家庭冲突、家庭凝聚力、父子沟通)对外化问题的影响中起中介作用。外化问题的间接效应取决于青少年的独立自我构念。结论定向愤怒调节策略对解决外化问题的临床干预效果可能有所裨益。然而，这种干预措施应该考虑到文化背景，因为调解效果可能会受到自我构念等文化因素的影响。
ObjectivesThe present study had two primary aims: (a) to test the mediating role of anger regulation in the relation between family processes and externalizing problems; (b) to test the moderating role of culture (specifically, independent and interdependent self‐construals) in the relation between anger regulation and symptomatology via a moderated mediation model.DesignThe sample comprised 166 Korean American adolescents (54.2% male), who were recruited from the Midwestern region of the United States. Adolescents’ ages ranged from 11‐15 years old (M= 13.0 years;SD= 1.2). Cross‐sectional data were collected via adolescent self‐report questionnaires.ResultsResults indicated that the anger regulation variables (either individually or collectively) mediated the influence of family processes (i.e., family conflict, family cohesion, and father‐adolescent communication) on externalizing problems. Moreover, 2 indirect effects on externalizing problems were conditional upon adolescents’ independent self‐construal.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that clinical intervention efforts for addressing externalizing problems may benefit from targeting anger regulation strategies. However, such interventions should be tailored to consider cultural context, since mediation effects may be moderated by cultural factors such as self‐construal.
