This research investigated whether biases in processing threatening emotional cues operate as an indirect pathway through which parental harsh discipline is associated with adolescent socio-emotional functioning. Participants were 192 adolescents (M age = 12.4), and their parents assessed over two years. Findings revealed two significant indirect pathways involving fear processing. Greater parental harsh discipline was linked to more emotional response inhibition difficulty for fear, which was linked to more depressive symptoms in the following year. Greater parental harsh discipline was also associated with more emotional response inhibition difficulty for fear, and thereby, more peer problems later. Findings suggest that adolescent emotional processing operated as an indirect pathway linking parental harsh discipline and adolescent socio-emotional functioning within the broader social context.
本研究调查了在处理威胁性情绪线索时的偏差是否作为一种间接途径，通过该途径父母的严厉管教与青少年的社会情绪功能相关联。研究参与者为192名青少年（平均年龄 = 12.4岁），对他们及其父母进行了为期两年的评估。研究结果揭示了两条涉及恐惧处理的显著间接途径。父母更严厉的管教与对恐惧的情绪反应抑制困难增加有关，而这又与次年更多的抑郁症状相关。父母更严厉的管教还与对恐惧的情绪反应抑制困难增加有关，进而与之后更多的同伴问题相关。研究结果表明，在更广泛的社会背景下，青少年的情绪处理作为一种间接途径，将父母的严厉管教与青少年的社会情绪功能联系起来。
