Mounting research supports that co-rumination, the tendency to seek peer support by engaging in extensive negatively focused discussion, is a risk factor for adolescent psychopathology. It is unclear, though, how this interpersonal tendency develops. Parental responses to adolescents' negative affect likely shape how youth utilize peer relationships to regulate distress, as they shift to reliance on peer support during this developmental stage. For example, nonsupportive parental responses may fail to instill healthy regulation strategies, resulting in ineffective forms of peer support, such as co-rumination. Conversely, high levels of supportive parental responses to adolescents' negative affect may motivate youth to also express more negative affect with peers, leading to co-rumination. Eighty-nine healthy adolescents (9-17) and their mothers completed surveys and a support-seeking interaction. Only supportive maternal responses, including maternal affection, were associated with adolescents' co-rumination. These analyses indicate that some forms of parental support are associated with adolescents' tendency to co-ruminate.
越来越多的研究表明,共同反刍,即通过进行广泛的消极聚焦讨论来寻求同伴支持的倾向,是青少年心理病理学的一个风险因素。然而,这种人际倾向是如何发展的尚不清楚。父母对青少年消极情绪的反应可能会塑造青少年如何利用同伴关系来调节痛苦,因为在这个发育阶段他们会转向依赖同伴支持。例如,不支持的父母反应可能无法灌输健康的调节策略,导致无效的同伴支持形式,如共同反刍。相反,父母对青少年消极情绪的高度支持反应可能会促使青少年也向同伴表达更多消极情绪,从而导致共同反刍。89名健康青少年(9至17岁)及其母亲完成了调查和寻求支持的互动。只有支持性的母亲反应,包括母亲的关爱,与青少年的共同反刍有关。这些分析表明,某些形式的父母支持与青少年共同反刍的倾向有关。
