In this study, the authors examined whether concurrent associations between adolescent outcomes and disagreements with mothers, fathers, and best friends vary as a function of perceived relationship quality. Participants were 469 11- to 18-year-old youths from a culturally diverse community. Negative qualities of parent-adolescent and friend relationships were linked to adjustment problems (aggression, anxiety and depression, delinquency, and withdrawal). Positive qualities of parent-adolescent relationships were linked to school grades and adjustment problems. Nonlinear associations between conflict and adolescent outcomes were moderated by negative qualities of relationships such that increases in conflict from low to moderate levels were linked to (a) higher school grades for adolescents in better but not poorer quality relationships and (b) greater delinquency and withdrawal for adolescents in poorer but not better quality relationships.
在本研究中,作者考察了青少年的结果与和母亲、父亲及最好的朋友之间的分歧的并发关联是否会因感知到的关系质量而有所不同。参与者是来自一个文化多元社区的469名11至18岁的青少年。亲子关系和朋友关系的负面特质与适应问题(攻击行为、焦虑和抑郁、犯罪及退缩)有关。亲子关系的积极特质与学业成绩及适应问题有关。冲突与青少年结果之间的非线性关联受到关系负面特质的调节,即冲突从低水平增加到中等水平与以下情况有关:(a) 关系质量较好而非较差的青少年学业成绩更高;(b) 关系质量较差而非较好的青少年犯罪及退缩行为更多。
