This study examined the link between parental divorce and marital conflict and young adult romantic relationships, and it tested whether offspring efficacy beliefs and conflict mediate this association. Young adults (N=358) provided data at three time points each separated by 7-week intervals. Results from structural equation modeling demonstrated that (a) parents' marital conflict, rather than parental divorce, was associated with offspring conflict behavior; (b) relationship efficacy mediated this association; and (c) conflict behavior, in turn, mediated the association between efficacy beliefs and the quality of offspring romantic relationships. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for understanding the impact of parents' marital problems on romantic relationships in young adulthood. Their implications for preventive interventions and future research are also outlined.
本研究探讨了父母离婚与婚姻冲突以及青年浪漫关系之间的联系，并检验了后代效能信念和冲突是否介导了这种关联。青年（N = 358）在三个时间点提供数据，每个时间点间隔7周。结构方程模型的结果表明：（a）父母的婚姻冲突而非父母离婚与后代冲突行为相关；（b）关系效能介导了这种关联；（c）冲突行为反过来又介导了效能信念与后代浪漫关系质量之间的关联。本文从这些发现对理解父母婚姻问题对青年期浪漫关系的影响的意义方面进行了讨论。还概述了它们对预防性干预和未来研究的意义。
