虽然敏化假说是根本的过程为导向的解释婚姻冲突对儿童的影响，很少有纵向测试的理论的命题进行了。这项前瞻性纵向研究（n = 297个家庭）使用HLM评估应对冲突的维度变化（即，情绪、认知、行为），连续三年在8至19岁的青年中进行。此外，为了测试敏感化的概念，分析研究了婚姻冲突的变化是否预示着儿童在童年中期和青春期的反应变化。支持敏化假说，增加暴露于敌对的婚姻冲突与儿童的负面情绪，威胁，自责和怀疑的决议增加。除了少数例外，对男孩和女孩以及年幼和年长儿童的影响基本一致。
Although the sensitization hypothesis is fundamental to process-oriented explanations of the effects of marital conflict on children, few longitudinal tests of the theory’s propositions have been conducted. This prospective, longitudinal study (n = 297 families) used HLM to assess changes in dimensions of responding to conflict (i.e., emotional, cognitive, behavioral) for three consecutive years in youth between the ages of 8 and 19 years. Moreover, to test the notion of sensitization, analyses examined whether change in marital conflict predicted change in children’s responding across middle childhood and adolescence. Supporting the sensitization hypothesis, increases in exposure to hostile marital conflict were associated with increases in children’s negative emotionality, threat, self blame, and skepticism about resolution. With a few exceptions, effects were largely consistent for boys and girls, and for younger and older children.
