Cumulative risk research has increased understanding of how multiple risk factors impact various socioemotional and interpersonal outcomes across the life span. However, little is known about risk factors for parent-child conflict early in development, where identifying predictors of change could be highly salient for intervention. Given their established association with parent-child conflict, child developmental delay (DD) and emotion dysregulation were examined as predictors of change in conflict across early to middle childhood (ages 3 to 7 years). Participants (n = 211) were part of a longitudinal study examining the development of psychopathology in children with or without DD. Level of parent-child conflict was derived from naturalistic home observations, whereas child dysregulation was measured using an adapted CBCL-Emotion Dysregulation Index. PROCESS was used to examine the conditional interactive effects of delay status (typically developing, DD) and dysregulation on change in conflict from child ages 3 to 5 and 5 to 7 years. Across both of these timeframes, parent-child conflict increased only for families of children with both DD and high dysregulation, providing support for an interactive risk model of parent-child conflict. Findings are considered in the context of developmental transitions, and implications for intervention are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record
累积风险研究增进了人们对多种风险因素如何在整个生命周期中影响各种社会情感和人际结果的理解。然而，对于儿童早期亲子冲突的风险因素却知之甚少，而识别变化的预测因素对于干预可能非常重要。鉴于儿童发育迟缓（DD）和情绪失调与亲子冲突之间已确定的关联，本研究将其作为儿童早期到中期（3至7岁）冲突变化的预测因素进行了考察。参与者（n = 211）是一项纵向研究的一部分，该研究考察了有或无发育迟缓儿童的精神病理学发展情况。亲子冲突水平源自自然主义的家庭观察，而儿童失调则使用改编后的儿童行为检查表-情绪失调指数进行测量。使用PROCESS来检验发育迟缓状态（正常发育、发育迟缓）和失调对儿童3至5岁以及5至7岁期间冲突变化的条件交互作用。在这两个时间范围内，只有那些孩子既有发育迟缓又有高度失调的家庭，亲子冲突才会增加，这为亲子冲突的交互风险模型提供了支持。研究结果在发展过渡的背景下进行了考量，并讨论了其对干预的意义。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》 ）
