The authors examined siblings' dyadic and differential conflict frequency with mothers and fathers from 7 to 19 years of age. Participants were first- and second-borns from 201 families who reported their conflict with each parent in 4 home interviews spaced over 5 years. Multilevel models examining trajectories of conflict frequency across age and year of study revealed that (a) consistent with a spillover hypothesis, elevation in parent-offspring conflict frequency was timed to firstborns' transition to adolescence for both siblings; and (b) consistent with a learning-from-experience hypothesis, there was no increase in conflict frequency at second-borns' transition to adolescence. These findings highlight the importance of studying the development of parent-offspring conflict within the larger family system.
作者研究了7至19岁的兄弟姐妹与父母之间的二元冲突频率和差异冲突频率。参与者是来自201个家庭的头胎和二胎，他们在5年中进行的4次家庭访谈中报告了与每位父母的冲突情况。通过多水平模型研究冲突频率在年龄和研究年份上的变化轨迹发现：（a）与溢出假设一致，两个兄弟姐妹与父母冲突频率的升高都与头胎向青春期的过渡时间一致；（b）与从经验中学习的假设一致，二胎向青春期过渡时冲突频率没有增加。这些发现凸显了在更大的家庭系统中研究亲子冲突发展的重要性。
