This study examined associations between interparental conflict and adolescents' romantic relationship conflict. High school seniors (N=183) who lived with married parents completed questionnaires about their parents' marriage and their own romantic relationships. A subset of 88 adolescents was also observed interacting with their romantic partners. Adolescents' perceptions and appraisals of interparental conflict were related to the amount of conflict in romantic relationship and adolescents' conflict styles. Adolescents' appraisals of interparental conflict (i.e., self-blame, perceived threat) moderated many of the associations between interparental conflict and conflict behavior with romantic partners. The patterns of moderated effects differed by gender. These findings suggest that the meanings boys and girls ascribe to interparental conflict are important for understanding how family experiences contribute to the development of romantic relationships.
本研究考察了父母间冲突与青少年恋爱关系冲突之间的关联。与已婚父母同住的高三学生（N = 183）完成了关于其父母婚姻及自身恋爱关系的问卷。还观察了88名青少年与其恋爱伴侣的互动情况。青少年对父母间冲突的认知和评价与恋爱关系中的冲突量及青少年的冲突方式有关。青少年对父母间冲突的评价（即自责、感知到的威胁）调节了父母间冲突与与恋爱伴侣冲突行为之间的许多关联。调节效应的模式因性别而异。这些发现表明，男孩和女孩赋予父母间冲突的意义对于理解家庭经历如何影响恋爱关系的发展很重要。
