The mechanisms through which conflicting parental relationship and parenting practices influence adolescent antisocial behavior have not been adequately understood. To bring more understanding to the mechanisms, this study investigates how marital discord interrelates with interparental inconsistency in parenting practices, and how these family conditions influence juvenile delinquency through their spillover effects on mental health problems, parental attachment and delinquent peer association among Chinese adolescents. Findings obtained from a structural equation modeling analysis of survey data collected from a probability sample of 2,496 adolescents (mean age = 15.16 years) are generally consistent with the spillover effect hypothesis. The results demonstrate that mental health problems, parental attachment, and delinquent peer association operate as critical mediators linking marital discord and interparental inconsistency to juvenile delinquency.
父母关系冲突和养育方式影响青少年反社会行为的机制尚未得到充分理解。为了更深入地了解这些机制，本研究调查了婚姻不和与养育方式上的父母不一致是如何相互关联的，以及这些家庭状况如何通过对中国青少年心理健康问题、亲子依恋和不良同伴交往的溢出效应来影响青少年犯罪。从对2496名青少年（平均年龄 = 15.16岁）的概率样本收集的调查数据进行的结构方程模型分析中获得的结果总体上与溢出效应假设一致。结果表明，心理健康问题、亲子依恋和不良同伴交往是将婚姻不和与父母不一致与青少年犯罪联系起来的关键中介因素。
