Parents' contributions to their children's emotion regulation during adolescence has been a relatively understudied interpersonal context of development, even though parents' roles as sources of social and emotional learning persist from childhood into adolescence and the complexity of teens' lives grows during this time. This study aims to investigate the differential predictive utility of qualities and behaviors in interparental and parent-teen relationships during adolescence for predicting youths' development of intra- and interpersonal emotion regulation over a 13-year period. To assess these hypotheses, data were obtained from a longitudinal, multi-method, multi-informant study of 184 adolescents (107 Caucasian, 53 African American, and 24 mixed/other ethnicity; median family income of USD 40,000-60,000/year in 1999, equivalent to about USD 75,000-112,000/year when accounting for inflation) and their parents. The results provide support for a differential pattern of prediction; qualities of interparental relationships in early adolescence were significant predictors of young adult interpersonal emotion regulation, whereas behaviors in interparental and parent-teen relationships in late adolescence were significant predictors of both young adult positive intra- and interpersonal emotion regulation. Notably, some father-reported relationship predictors during late adolescence had unexpected relations with later intrapersonal emotion regulation. The results are discussed in terms of the helpfulness of these specific relationship factors during each part of adolescence for supporting positive intra- and interpersonal emotional regulation development.
尽管父母作为社会和情感学习来源的角色从童年持续到青春期，且在此期间青少年生活的复杂性不断增加，但父母对青少年情绪调节的影响在人际发展背景下相对较少受到研究。本研究旨在探讨青少年时期父母间关系和亲子关系中的特质与行为，在预测青少年13年内人际和个体内部情绪调节发展方面的差异预测效用。为了评估这些假设，研究数据来自一项对184名青少年（107名白人、53名非裔美国人、24名混血/其他种族；1999年家庭收入中位数为4万至6万美元/年，考虑通货膨胀后相当于约7.5万至11.2万美元/年）及其父母的纵向、多方法、多 informant 研究。结果为一种差异预测模式提供了支持；青春期早期父母间关系特质是年轻成人期人际情绪调节的重要预测因素，而青春期晚期父母间关系和亲子关系中的行为是年轻成人期积极的个体内部和人际情绪调节的重要预测因素。值得注意的是，一些父亲报告的青春期晚期关系预测因素与后来的个体内部情绪调节存在意外关系。研究结果从青春期各阶段这些特定关系因素对支持积极的个体内部和人际情绪调节发展的帮助性方面进行了讨论。
