这篇多项研究的论文通过两项纵向研究，考察了涉及敌对、脱离和不合作形式的父母间冲突、儿童的情绪不安全感及其外化问题的中介路径的相对强度。研究1由243名学龄前儿童(男性=4.60岁)及其父母组成，研究2由263名青少年(男性=12.62岁)及其父母组成。这两项研究都使用了纵向设计中的多方法、多信息者评估小组，并进行了三次测量。在这两项研究中，对中介路径的滞后自回归测试显示，与父母间的脱离和父母间的低水平合作相比，父母间的敌意对儿童未来的不安全感和外部性问题的预测要强得多。研究结果进一步表明，对于研究2中的青少年样本，父母间脱离是不安全途径的一个更强的预测因子，而父母间合作程度较低。本文讨论了这些结果如何影响和推进家庭风险的发展模式。
This multi-study paper examined the relative strength of mediational pathways involving hostile, disengaged, and uncooperative forms of interparental conflict, children’s emotional insecurity, and their externalizing problems across two longitudinal studies. Participants in Study 1 consisted of 243 preschool children (M age = 4.60 years) and their parents, whereas Study 2 consisted of 263 adolescents (M age = 12.62 years) and their parents. Both studies utilized multi-method, multi-informant assessment batteries within a longitudinal design with three measurement occasions. Across both studies, lagged, autoregressive tests of the mediational paths revealed that interparental hostility was a significantly stronger predictor of the prospective cascade of children’s insecurity and externalizing problems than interparental disengagement and low levels of interparental cooperation. Findings further indicated that interparental disengagement was a stronger predictor of the insecurity pathway than was low interparental cooperation for the sample of adolescents in Study 2. Results are discussed in relation to how they inform and advance developmental models of family risk.
