The present study examined whether predictors of romantic-partner conflict may vary as a function of family structure. Using a cross-sectional design, we tested a mediation model of conflict resolution behaviours among late adolescents from intact (n=185) and divorced (n=87) families. Adolescents rated conflict resolution behaviours in five dyadic relationships: interparental, mother-adolescent, father-adolescent, sibling, and romantic partner. Mother-adolescent and father-adolescent conflict resolution behaviours mediated the relationship between interparental and sibling conflict resolution. Moreover, both mother-adolescent and sibling conflict resolution behaviours mediated the relationship between interparental and romantic-partner conflict resolution behaviours. This model was supported for both positive and negative behaviours, and it applied equally well to adolescents from intact and divorced families. Results are discussed in the context of social learning theories and support conflict resolution behaviours within the family spilling over into romantic relationships for adolescents from both intact and divorced families.
本研究考察了浪漫伴侣冲突的预测因素是否会因家庭结构的不同而有所变化。我们采用横断面设计，对来自完整家庭（n = 185）和离异家庭（n = 87）的青少年晚期的冲突解决行为中介模型进行了测试。青少年对五种二元关系中的冲突解决行为进行了评分：父母之间、母亲与青少年之间、父亲与青少年之间、兄弟姐妹之间以及浪漫伴侣之间。母亲与青少年之间以及父亲与青少年之间的冲突解决行为在父母之间和兄弟姐妹之间的冲突解决关系中起中介作用。此外，母亲与青少年之间以及兄弟姐妹之间的冲突解决行为在父母之间和浪漫伴侣之间的冲突解决行为关系中起中介作用。该模型在积极和消极行为方面均得到支持，并且同样适用于来自完整家庭和离异家庭的青少年。研究结果在社会学习理论的背景下进行了讨论，支持家庭内部的冲突解决行为会延伸到来自完整家庭和离异家庭的青少年的浪漫关系中。
