This study examined whether adolescents' behavior in a support-seeking context helped to explain associations between increases in mother-adolescent conflict during early adolescence and changes in adolescents' internalizing and externalizing symptoms. A sample of 194 adolescents aged 12 to 14 (51% female) and their mothers were followed over 1 year. Mother-adolescent pairs participated in a speech task introducing an external social stressor into the parent-child relationship. Using a latent difference score model, adolescents' observed attachment behavior and hostility were compared as potential explanatory processes. Analyses suggest specificity in the spillover process from conflict to adolescent behavior in a nonconflictual parent-child interaction context, with hostility uniquely linking increasing mother-adolescent conflict and externalizing problems, and disruptions in adolescent attachment behavior uniquely explaining the link with internalizing problems.

本研究考察了青少年在寻求支持的情境中的行为是否有助于解释青少年早期母亲-青少年冲突增加与青少年内化和外化症状变化之间的关系。研究对 194 名 12 至 14 岁的青少年（51%为女性）及其母亲进行了为期 1 年的随访。母亲-青少年对在 1 年内参与了一项演讲任务，该任务将外部社会压力源引入了亲子关系中。研究使用潜在差异得分模型，将观察到的青少年依恋行为和敌意作为潜在的解释过程进行了比较。分析表明，在非冲突性的亲子互动情境中，从冲突到青少年行为的溢出过程具有特异性，敌意是唯一将不断增加的母亲-青少年冲突与外化问题联系起来的因素，而青少年依恋行为的中断则是唯一能够解释与内化问题之间联系的因素。（PsycINFO 数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。
