The frequency of positive parent-child interactions is associated with youth adjustment. Yet, little is known about daily parent-child interactions and how day-to-day consistency in positive parent-child interactions may be linked to youth well-being. Using a daily diary approach, this study added to this literature to investigate whether and how day-to-day consistency in positive parent-child interactions was linked to youth depressive symptoms, risky behavior, and physical health. Participants were youth whose parents were employed in the IT division of a Fortune 500 company ( = 129, youth's mean age = 13.39, 55 % female), who participated in an 8 day daily diary study. Analyses revealed that, controlling for cross-day mean levels of positive parent-child interactions, older (but not younger) adolescents who experienced more consistency in positive interactions with parents had fewer depressive and physical health symptoms (e.g., colds, flu). The discussion focuses on the utility of daily diary methods for assessing the correlates of consistency in parenting, possible processes underlying these associations, and intervention implications.
亲子积极互动的频率与青少年的适应状况相关。然而，对于日常亲子互动以及亲子积极互动中的日常一致性如何与青少年的幸福感相联系，我们知之甚少。本研究采用每日日记法，在这一领域进行补充研究，以探讨亲子积极互动中的日常一致性是否以及如何与青少年的抑郁症状、危险行为和身体健康相关联。参与者是父母受雇于一家财富500强公司信息技术部门的青少年（n = 129，青少年平均年龄 = 13.39岁，55%为女性），他们参与了一项为期8天的每日日记研究。分析表明，在控制了亲子积极互动的跨日平均水平后，与父母积极互动中体验到更多一致性的年龄较大（而非较小）的青少年，抑郁和身体健康症状（如感冒、流感）较少。讨论集中在每日日记法在评估养育一致性相关因素方面的效用、这些关联背后可能的过程以及干预意义。
