This study examined the relationships between stressful life events in childhood and differentiation of self and intergenerational triangulation in adulthood. The sample included 217 students (173 females and 44 males) from a college in northern Israel. Participants completed the Hebrew versions of Life Events Checklist (LEC), Differentiation of Self Inventory-Revised (DSI-R) and intergenerational triangulation (INTRI). The main findings were that levels of stressful life events during childhood and adolescence among both genders were positively correlated with the levels of fusion with others and intergenerational triangulation. The levels of positive life events were negatively related to levels of emotional reactivity, emotional cut-off and intergenerational triangulation. Levels of stressful life events in females were positively correlated with emotional reactivity. Intergenerational triangulation was correlated with emotional reactivity, emotional cut-off, fusion with others and I-position. Findings suggest that families that experience higher levels of stressful life events may be at risk for higher levels of intergenerational triangulation and lower levels of differentiation of self.
本研究考察了童年时期的压力生活事件与成年期自我分化和代际三角关系的关系。样本包括来自以色列北部一所大学的 217 名学生(173 名女性和 44 名男性)。参与者完成了生活事件检查表(LEC)、自我分化量表修订版(DSI-R)和代际三角关系(INTRI)的希伯来语版本。主要发现是,两性在童年和青少年时期经历的压力生活事件水平与与他人融合和代际三角关系的水平呈正相关。积极生活事件的水平与情绪反应、情绪切断和代际三角关系的水平呈负相关。女性的压力生活事件水平与情绪反应呈正相关。代际三角关系与情绪反应、情绪切断、与他人融合和 I 位置有关。研究结果表明,经历较高水平压力生活事件的家庭可能面临更高水平的代际三角关系和较低水平的自我分化的风险。
