The relative effects of family conflict and divorce on the well-being of adolescents were examined in a longitudinal study of a heterogeneous community sample. Higher levels of family conflict were associated with increases in adolescents' depressed mood, anxiety, and physical symptoms over time. In contrast, neither recent divorce nor earlier divorce was associated with longitudinal changes in any health outcomes. Also, adolescents living in intact families with high conflict had significantly poorer well-being than those living in families of divorce with low conflict. Finally, the longitudinal effects of divorce and family conflict did not differ by age and sex, but Hispanic adolescents experienced more negative effects of family conflict than non-Hispanic whites, and the well-being of Asian adolescents was influenced more strongly by recent divorce.
在一项针对异质性社区样本的纵向研究中，考察了家庭冲突和离婚对青少年幸福感的相对影响。随着时间的推移，较高水平的家庭冲突与青少年抑郁情绪、焦虑和身体症状的增加有关。相比之下，近期离婚和早期离婚均与任何健康结果的纵向变化无关。此外，生活在冲突激烈的完整家庭中的青少年，其幸福感明显低于生活在冲突较少的离异家庭中的青少年。最后，离婚和家庭冲突的纵向影响在年龄和性别上没有差异，但西班牙裔青少年比非西班牙裔白人经历了更多家庭冲突带来的负面影响，而近期离婚对亚裔青少年幸福感的影响更强。
