This study used longitudinal data to elucidate how trajectories of negative parenting across adolescence are associated with young adult health risk behaviors (HRBs) by testing difficulties with emotion regulation and externalizing symptomatology as sequential underlying mediators. The sample included 167 adolescents (53% males, M = 14 at Time 1 and M = 18 at Time 5) who were assessed five times. Adolescents self-reported on negative parenting, emotion regulation, externalizing symptomatology, and engagement in HRBs. Results suggest that increasingly negative parenting across adolescence has adverse consequences for emotion regulation development and in turn, externalizing symptomatology, which confers risk for young adult HRBs. Results offer insights towards mechanisms for prevention and intervention and public health policy aimed at reducing the prevalence and consequences of engagement in HRBs.
本研究利用纵向数据,通过测试情绪调节困难和外化症状学作为连续潜在的中介,来阐明青少年时期负面教养轨迹与青年期健康风险行为(HRBs)的关系。该样本包括 167 名青少年(53%为男性,第一次测量时的平均年龄为 14 岁,第五次测量时的平均年龄为 18 岁),共进行了五次评估。青少年自我报告了负面教养、情绪调节、外化症状学和参与 HRBs 的情况。结果表明,青少年时期负面教养的增加对情绪调节发展产生了不利影响,进而导致外化症状学,这增加了青年期 HRBs 的风险。研究结果为预防和干预措施以及旨在降低 HRBs 发生率和后果的公共卫生政策提供了机制方面的见解。
