Stability and change in mother-adolescent conflict reactions (CRs) and the prediction of CRs from adolescents' earlier behavior problems (and vice versa) were examined with 131 mothers and their adolescents (63 boys). Dyads engaged in a 6-minute conflict discussion twice, 2 years apart ( age was 13 at Time 1 (T1). Nonverbal expressive and verbal CRs during the conflict discussion were coded. Mothers, fathers, and teachers reported on adolescents' problem behaviors. There was inter-individual (rank-order) stability for adolescents' CRs whereas mothers' reactions were less stable. Mean levels of mothers' negativity, anger, and positive reactions and adolescents' negativity declined with time. Mothers' CRs predicted and were predicted by adolescents' problem behaviors more often than adolescents' CRs in zero-order correlations. In structural models with the stability of the constructs accounted for, adolescents' externalizing problems at T1 predicted higher maternal anger at T2. Mothers' anger and positive CRs at T1 predicted fewer T2 adolescents' internalizing problems. Stability and change in CRs are discussed.
对131对母亲及其青少年(63名男孩)进行了研究,考察了母子冲突反应(CRs)的稳定性与变化,以及从青少年早期行为问题预测冲突反应(反之亦然)的情况。研究对象在两年内两次进行了6分钟的冲突讨论(第一次时间点(T1)时年龄为13岁)。对冲突讨论中的非言语表达和言语冲突反应进行了编码。母亲、父亲和教师报告了青少年的问题行为。青少年的冲突反应存在个体间(等级顺序)稳定性,而母亲的反应则不太稳定。母亲的消极情绪、愤怒和积极反应以及青少年的消极情绪平均水平随时间下降。在零阶相关中,母亲的冲突反应比青少年的冲突反应更常预测青少年的问题行为,同时也被青少年的问题行为所预测。在考虑了结构稳定性的模型中,T1时青少年的外化问题预测了T2时母亲更高的愤怒情绪。T1时母亲的愤怒和积极冲突反应预测了T2时青少年较少的内化问题。文中讨论了冲突反应的稳定性与变化。
