The current study examined the moderating role of friendship quality on the relation between maternal anxiety and internalizing symptoms in a 3-year prospective study of adolescent development. Participants included 177 adolescents ( = 16.05, = 0.91) and their mothers. Mothers reported their own levels of anxiety; youth completed self-reports of internalizing symptoms and friendship quality. Positive friendship quality moderated the relation between maternal anxiety and initial levels of internalizing symptoms. Maternal anxiety was associated with steeper increases in internalizing symptoms over time, but only for those with greater negative peer interactions. Findings underscore the important role of both parental and peer relationships in the development of internalizing symptoms and highlight specific avenues for clinical interventions.
在一项为期3年的青少年发展前瞻性研究中，本研究考察了友谊质量在母亲焦虑与内化症状之间关系中的调节作用。研究对象包括177名青少年（平均年龄 = 16.05岁，标准差 = 0.91）及其母亲。母亲报告自己的焦虑水平；青少年完成内化症状和友谊质量的自我报告。积极的友谊质量调节了母亲焦虑与内化症状初始水平之间的关系。母亲的焦虑与内化症状随时间的急剧增加有关，但仅适用于那些有更多负面同伴互动的青少年。研究结果强调了亲子关系和同伴关系在内化症状发展中的重要作用，并突出了临床干预的具体途径。
