Three models of the relations of coping efficacy, coping, and psychological problems of children of divorce were investigated. A structural equation model using cross-sectional data of 356 nine- to twelve-year-old children of divorce yielded results that supported coping efficacy as a mediator of the relations between both active coping and avoiding coping and psychological problems. In a prospective longitudinal model with a subsample of 162 of these children, support was found for Time 2 coping efficacy as a mediator of the relations between Time 1 active coping and Time 2 internalizing of problems. Individual growth curve models over four waves also found support for coping efficacy as a mediator of the relations between active coping and psychological problems. No support was found for alternative models of coping as a mediator of the relations between efficacy and symptoms or for coping efficacy as a moderator of the relations between coping and symptoms.
本研究调查了离婚家庭子女应对效能、应对方式与心理问题之间关系的三种模型。采用356名9至12岁离婚家庭子女的横断面数据构建的结构方程模型结果表明，应对效能是积极应对和回避应对与心理问题之间关系的中介变量。在一个前瞻性纵向模型中，以这些孩子中的162名作为子样本，研究发现，时间2的应对效能是时间1的积极应对与时间2的内化问题之间关系的中介变量。在跨越四个阶段的个体成长曲线模型中，也发现应对效能是积极应对与心理问题之间关系的中介变量。未发现应对方式作为效能与症状之间关系的中介变量的替代模型，也未发现应对效能作为应对方式与症状之间关系的调节变量的相关支持。
