This study examines the association between adolescents' relational schemas and their subjective understanding of interactions in the context of male-female romantic relationships. We employed an innovative multimodal methodology: the video-recall system [Welsh, D. P., & Dickson, J. W. (2005). Video-recall procedures for examining subjective understanding in observational data. Journal of Family Psychology, 19(1), 62-71], which includes both adolescent participants' perspectives, as well as those of trained coders. Dyadic structural equation modeling (SEM) with latent variables was used to examine two dependent variables: Discomfort and Power. Relational schemas were only associated with the participants' interpretation of Discomfort, and did not differ by gender. The association between relational schemas and Power were different by gender, suggesting males and females with more vulnerable relational schemas may employ different strategies to cope with their insecurity. Males' relational schemas were also associated with the observers' interpretations of Power for both couple members. Possible implications of this finding for attachment theory and adolescent romantic relationships are discussed.
本研究考察了青少年关系图式与他们在男女浪漫关系背景下对互动的主观理解之间的关系。我们采用了一种创新的多模态方法：视频回忆系统[Welsh，D.P. 和 Dickson，J.W.（2005）。用于在观察数据中检查主观理解的视频回忆程序。家庭心理学杂志，19（1），62-71]，其中包括青少年参与者的观点，以及经过培训的编码员的观点。使用潜变量的二元结构方程模型（SEM）来检验两个因变量：不适和权力。关系图式仅与参与者对不适的解释有关，与性别无关。关系图式与权力之间的关联因性别而异，这表明关系图式较脆弱的男性和女性可能会采用不同的策略来应对其不安全感。男性的关系图式也与观察者对双方成员权力的解释有关。讨论了这一发现对依恋理论和青少年浪漫关系的可能意义。
