Adolescent psychopathological (i.e., internalizing and externalizing) symptoms are quite prevalent and decrease well-being in adulthood. Parental symptoms can put adolescents at risk for developing psychopathological symptoms. This study examined the reciprocal, longitudinal associations between parental and adolescent internalizing and externalizing symptoms between and within families, using random-intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPMs). Participants were 497 Dutch adolescents (43.1% girls; T₁ = 13.0 years; mostly medium to high socioeconomic backgrounds) and their parents from the general population. Across six years, adolescents and their mothers and fathers reported annually on their internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Between families, maternal, but not paternal internalizing and externalizing symptoms were consistently associated with adolescent internalizing and externalizing symptoms, while within families, only increases in adolescent internalizing symptoms predicted subsequent increases in maternal internalizing symptoms. These findings suggest that associations within families differ from associations between families, and that within-family processes in the transmission of internalizing symptoms are particularly driven by adolescent-to-mother effects.

青少年心理病理症状（即，内化和外化）相当普遍，会降低成年后的幸福感。父母的症状会使青少年面临发展出心理病理症状的风险。本研究使用随机截距交叉滞后面板模型（RI-CLPM），考察了家庭内和家庭间青少年内化和外化症状与父母症状之间的相互、纵向关联。参与者为 497 名荷兰青少年（43.1%为女孩；T₁=13.0 岁；社会经济背景大多为中高）及其来自普通人群的父母。在六年中，青少年及其母亲和父亲每年报告一次他们的内化和外化症状。在家庭间，母亲的内化和外化症状与青少年的内化和外化症状始终相关，但在家庭内，只有青少年内化症状的增加预测了随后母亲内化症状的增加。这些发现表明，家庭内的关联与家庭间的关联不同，内化症状传递的家庭内过程主要受青少年对母亲的影响驱动。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
