两项研究测试了关于儿童对父母间冲突的反应模式的独特心理后果的假设。在研究1中，174名学龄前儿童（M = 4.0岁）和他们的母亲参加了横断面设计。在研究2中，243名学龄前儿童（M = 4.6岁）和他们的父母参加了两个年度测量场合。在这两项研究中，多名受访者评估了儿童的心理功能。在重新表述的情绪安全理论的指导下，对儿童应对父母间冲突的行为观察评估了他们在化解威胁方面的四种倾向：安全（即，有效地解决直接威胁情况）、动员（即，对潜在威胁和社会机会作出反应），占主导地位（即，直接击败威胁），和复员（即，降低作为敌意目标的显著性）。正如假设的那样，每一个配置文件预测独特的调整模式。更大的安全性与较低水平的内化和外化症状和更大的社会能力，而更高的优势与外化问题和外倾性。相比之下，动员模式的反应预测更多的问题，自我调节，内化症状，外化困难，但也更大的外向性。最后，更高水平的复员反应与更大的内化问题和更低的外向性有关，但也有更好的自我调节。
Two studies tested hypotheses about the distinctive psychological consequences of children’s patterns of responding to interparental conflict. In Study 1, 174 preschool children (M = 4.0 years) and their mothers participated in a cross-sectional design. In Study 2, 243 preschool children (M = 4.6 years) and their parents participated in two annual measurement occasions. Across both studies, multiple informants assessed children’s psychological functioning. Guided by the reformulated version of emotional security theory, behavioral observations of children’s coping with interparental conflict assessed their tendencies to exhibit four patterns based on their function in defusing threat: secure (i.e., efficiently address direct instances of threat), mobilizing (i.e., react to potential threat and social opportunities), dominant (i.e., directly defeat threat), and demobilizing (i.e., reduce salience as a target of hostility). As hypothesized, each profile predicted unique patterns of adjustment. Greater security was associated with lower levels of internalizing and externalizing symptoms and greater social competence, whereas higher dominance was associated with externalizing problems and extraversion. In contrast, mobilizing patterns of reactivity predicted more problems with self-regulation, internalizing symptoms, externalizing difficulties, but also greater extraversion. Finally, higher levels of demobilizing reactivity were linked with greater internalizing problems and lower extraversion but also better self-regulation.
