This study longitudinally investigated transmission: Can the way adolescents resolve conflicts with their parents be explained by the way parents resolve conflicts with each other? Questionnaires about conflict resolution styles were completed by 282 young adolescents (mean age = 13.2) and their parents. Path analyses with cross-lagged effects indicated that transmission of conflict resolution styles from marital relationships to adolescent-parent relationships occurs: Conflict engagement and positive problem solving in marital relationships were significantly related to, respectively, conflict engagement and positive problem solving in adolescent-parent relationships 2 years later. No significant longitudinal effects emerged with regard to withdrawal. Thus, the study shows that the way marital conflicts are handled affects how adolescents deal with conflicts.
青少年解决与父母冲突的方式能否由父母彼此解决冲突的方式来解释？282名青少年（平均年龄 = 13.2岁）及其父母完成了关于冲突解决方式的问卷调查。具有交叉滞后效应的路径分析表明，冲突解决方式从婚姻关系传递到青少年 - 父母关系中：婚姻关系中的冲突参与和积极解决问题分别与两年后青少年 - 父母关系中的冲突参与和积极解决问题显著相关。在回避方面未出现显著的纵向效应。因此，该研究表明处理婚姻冲突的方式会影响青少年处理冲突的方式。
