Grounded in family systems theory and using latent profile analysis, the present study examined (a) patterns of parent-child warmth and parent-child conflict within multiple dyads (mother-older child, mother-younger child, father-older child, father-younger child) among 305 U.S. Latinx families with fifth graders ( = 10.6; 46.6% female) and younger siblings ( = 8.20; 47.2% female) and (b) tested links of profile membership with child academic competence, negative peer relationships, and depressive symptoms. Two profiles were characterized by differential maternal and paternal warmth toward older versus younger siblings, with one of the profiles characterized by higher levels of conflict than the other, and a third profile included families where parent-child dyads were similar in their levels of moderately high warmth and low conflict. Profile membership was concurrently linked with children's academic competence, peer relationships, and depressive symptoms, with notable within-family differences for older versus younger siblings. Findings underscore the value of studying families as interrelated subsystems by capturing multiple dimensions of two children's relationships with mothers and fathers and provide insights for family-based prevention.

本研究基于家庭系统理论并运用潜在剖面分析，考察了：（a）305个有五年级学生（平均年龄 = 10.6岁；46.6%为女性）和弟弟妹妹（平均年龄 = 8.20岁；47.2%为女性）的美国拉丁裔家庭中多个二元组（母亲 - 年长孩子、母亲 - 年幼孩子、父亲 - 年长孩子、父亲 - 年幼孩子）内的亲子温暖模式和亲子冲突模式；（b）检验了剖面成员身份与儿童学业能力、消极同伴关系及抑郁症状之间的联系。两种剖面的特征是母亲和父亲对年长和年幼兄弟姐妹的温暖程度存在差异，其中一种剖面的冲突水平高于另一种，第三种剖面包括亲子二元组在中等高度温暖和低冲突水平上相似的家庭。剖面成员身份与儿童的学业能力、同伴关系和抑郁症状同时存在关联，年长和年幼兄弟姐妹在家庭内部存在显著差异。研究结果强调了通过捕捉两个孩子与母亲和父亲关系的多个维度，将家庭作为相互关联的子系统进行研究的价值，并为基于家庭的预防提供了见解。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2025美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
