Youth who receive comparatively poorer parental treatment than a sibling are at risk for maladaptive behaviors in a variety of domains, but research has yet to examine links with adolescents' health-related behaviors nor consider how those links may vary based on adolescents' personality traits, namely conscientiousness and agreeableness. Two siblings (n = 590 adolescents; 53% female; M = 15.86, SD = 1.73) from 295 families reported on their differential conflict and closeness with their fathers and mothers as well as on their personality, sleep habits, exercise habits, and general health habits. Multilevel modeling revealed that, generally, the less conscientious adolescents had better health habits when they had comparatively warmer relationships with their mothers. Less conscientiousness adolescents may be less distressed by inequality in the family, and thus may experience positive effects of relatively better treatment.
与兄弟姐妹相比,受到较差父母对待的青少年在各种领域都存在适应不良行为的风险,但研究尚未检验这些行为与青少年健康相关行为之间的联系,也没有考虑这些联系如何因青少年的个性特征(即责任心和宜人性)而有所不同。来自 295 个家庭的 2 个兄弟姐妹(n=590 名青少年;53%为女性;M=15.86,SD=1.73)报告了他们与父母之间的差异化冲突和亲密关系,以及他们的个性、睡眠习惯、运动习惯和一般健康习惯。多层次模型显示,一般来说,当青少年与母亲的关系较为温暖时,责任心较低的青少年的健康习惯更好。责任心较低的青少年可能不会对家庭中的不平等感到困扰,因此可能会体验到相对较好的待遇带来的积极影响。
