尽管它的重要性，有限的研究已经审查的机制，支持父母之间的冲突如何影响欧洲的青少年。本研究以141个意大利家庭为样本（母亲、父亲和青少年，法师= 17.25岁，SD = 0.64），探讨了三种类型的青少年情绪不安全感（描述青少年对冲突的脆弱性）是否在父母间冲突与青少年适应之间的关联中发挥作用。参与者完成了有关青少年在父母-青少年，父母间和家庭关系中的冲突暴露，调整和情绪不安全感的问卷。如假设，间接协会被观察到涉及青少年的情绪不安全感的父母青少年和父母间的关系。令人惊讶的是，在父母间的关系，而不是在家庭内部的情感不安全感的间接关联出现了最强的间接关联的三种类型的情感不安全感。然而，这些影响与父母-青少年关系的不安全感的间接影响是不可区分的。这些研究结果的理论和实践意义进行了讨论。
Despite its importance, limited research has examined mechanisms underpinning how interparental conflict affects adolescents in Europe. Using a sample of 141 Italian families (mothers, fathers, and adolescents, Mage = 17.25 years, SD = 0.64), this study explores whether three types of adolescents' emotional insecurity, which describes adolescents' vulnerability to conflict, play a role in the association between interparental conflict and adolescents' adjustment. Participants completed questionnaires related to adolescents' conflict exposure, adjustment, and emotional insecurity in the parent-adolescent, interparental, and family relationships. As hypothesized, indirect associations were observed involving adolescents' emotional insecurity in the parent-adolescent and interparental relationships. Surprisingly, the indirect association involving emotional insecurity within the interparental relationship rather than within the family emerged the strongest indirect association of the three types of emotional insecurity. These effects, however, were indistinguishable from the indirect effects of insecurity about the parent-adolescent relationship. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
