This study examined coparenting in a sample of 177 two-parent families with firstborn adolescents by using annual home interview data from mothers, fathers, and adolescents. With a path-analytic approach and with earlier problem behaviors controlled for, coparenting conflict predicted relative increases in adolescent risky behavior over 2 years. In addition, evidence for 2 types of mediation was found. Marital love mediated the link between adolescents' early risky behavior and coparenting 1 year later, and coparenting conflict mediated the link between marital love and adolescents' risky behavior 1 year later. Linkages did not emerge for coparenting cooperation or triangulation. Interventions that are focused on the marital and coparental relationships in families with adolescents may modify trajectories of adolescent risky behavior.
本研究通过使用来自母亲、父亲和青少年的年度家庭访谈数据，对177个有长子青少年的双亲家庭样本中的共同养育情况进行了考察。采用路径分析方法并控制早期问题行为后，共同养育冲突预示着青少年在两年内危险行为的相对增加。此外，还发现了两种中介作用的证据。婚姻中的爱介导了青少年早期危险行为与一年后共同养育之间的联系，而共同养育冲突介导了婚姻中的爱与一年后青少年危险行为之间的联系。共同养育合作或三角关系并未呈现出关联。针对有青少年家庭的婚姻和共同养育关系的干预措施可能会改变青少年危险行为的发展轨迹。
