Advancing the long-term prospective study of explanations for the effects of marital conflict on children's functioning, relations were examined between interparental conflict in kindergarten, children's emotional insecurity in the early school years, and subsequent adolescent internalizing and externalizing problems. Based on a community sample of 235 mothers, fathers, and children (Ms=6.00, 8.02, 12.62years), and multimethod and multireporter assessments, structural equation model tests provided support for emotional insecurity in early childhood as an intervening process related to adolescent internalizing and externalizing problems, even with stringent autoregressive controls over prior levels of functioning for both mediating and outcome variables. Discussion considers implications for understanding pathways between interparental conflict, emotional insecurity, and adjustment in childhood and adolescence.
推进对婚姻冲突对儿童功能影响的长期前瞻性研究，本研究考察了幼儿园阶段的父母间冲突、儿童早期的情绪不安全感，以及随后青少年期内化和外化问题之间的关系。基于一个社区样本，包括 235 名母亲、父亲和儿童（M=6.00，8.02，12.62 岁），采用多方法和多报告者评估，结构方程模型检验支持儿童早期的情绪不安全感是一个中介过程，与青少年内化和外化问题有关，即使对中介和结果变量的先前功能水平进行严格的自回归控制也是如此。讨论考虑了理解父母间冲突、情绪不安全感和儿童及青少年适应之间的关系的意义。
