Few longitudinal studies examine how in parent-child relationships are associated with changes in youth internalizing problems. In this longitudinal study, we investigated how developmental trends (linear change) and year-to-year lability (within-person fluctuations) in parental warmth and hostility across Grade 6-8 predict youth internalizing problems in Grade 9 ( = 618) and whether these linkages differ for boys and girls. Developmental trends (greater decreases in warmth, increases in hostility) were associated with more youth internalizing problems. Greater year-to-year lability (more fluctuations) in father hostility and warmth were also associated with more internalizing problems. Greater lability in mother warmth was associated with more internalizing problems for girls only. The strongest effects of lability on internalizing problems were found for youth with the highest lability scores. This study underscores the importance of differentiating developmental trends from lability in parent-child relationships, both of which may be important for youth internalizing problems.
很少有纵向研究探讨亲子关系中的[具体内容缺失]如何与青少年内化问题的变化相关联。在这项纵向研究中,我们调查了六年级至八年级期间父母温暖与敌意的发展趋势(线性变化)和逐年变异性(个体内部波动)如何预测九年级青少年的内化问题(N = 618),以及这些联系在男孩和女孩中是否存在差异。发展趋势(温暖程度的更大下降、敌意的增加)与更多的青少年内化问题相关。父亲敌意和温暖程度的逐年变异性更大(波动更多)也与更多的内化问题相关。母亲温暖程度的更大变异性仅与女孩更多的内化问题相关。在变异性得分最高的青少年中,发现变异性对内化问题的影响最为强烈。这项研究强调了区分亲子关系中的发展趋势和变异性的重要性,这两者可能对青少年内化问题都很重要。
