This study examined associations between adolescents' daily negative and positive events and their coping efficacy, an understudied topic but pivotal to adolescent thriving.
The sample included 153 parent-adolescent triads; adolescents' mean age, 15.71 years (SD = 1.53), 51% girls. Parents were in their midlife (Mage mother = 47.82, SD = 4.90; Mage father = 50.39, SD = 5.80). The study used a daily diary methodology to test within-person links to establish a temporal order of effects. Over seven consecutive days, adolescents reported on 14 daily negative and positive events. Adolescents, mothers, and fathers reported on adolescents' daily coping efficacy.
Multilevel latent profile analysis (MLPA) identified 4 day-level event profiles: "low event day" (34% of days), reflecting low levels of both positive and negative events and low coping efficacy and positive and negative mood; "positive day" (44%), reflecting dominance of intense positive events and corresponding high coping efficacy and positive mood; "mixed day," reflecting a combination of intense positive and negative events with average coping efficacy and positive mood despite high negative mood and impaired coping. Multilevel path analysis showed adolescents reported increased coping efficacy a day after increased academic load, and parents reported increased adolescent coping efficacy a day after positive parent-adolescent interactions. Fathers reported decreased adolescent coping efficacy a day after peer disappointment. Findings suggest positive events predominate in adolescents' lives, and their coping efficacy is sensitive to dynamic changes in the valence of context.
本研究探讨了青少年日常的负面和正面事件与其应对效能之间的关联，这是一个研究较少但对青少年茁壮成长至关重要的话题。
样本包括153个亲子三元组；青少年的平均年龄为15.71岁（标准差=1.53），51%为女孩。父母处于中年（母亲平均年龄=47.82，标准差=4.90；父亲平均年龄=50.39，标准差=5.80）。该研究采用每日日记法来测试个体内部的联系，以确定效应的时间顺序。在连续七天的时间里，青少年报告了14件日常的负面和正面事件。青少年、母亲和父亲报告了青少年的每日应对效能。
多水平潜在剖面分析（MLPA）确定了4种日水平事件剖面：“低事件日”（占天数的34%），反映了正面和负面事件水平均较低，以及应对效能低下、正负情绪均较低；“正面日”（44%），反映了强烈正面事件占主导地位，以及相应的高应对效能和积极情绪；“混合日”，反映了强烈的正面和负面事件并存，尽管负面情绪较高且应对能力受损，但应对效能和积极情绪平均。多水平路径分析表明，青少年报告在学业负担增加一天后应对效能提高，父母报告在亲子积极互动一天后青少年应对效能提高。父亲报告在同伴失望一天后青少年应对效能下降。研究结果表明正面事件在青少年生活中占主导地位，且他们的应对效能对情境效价的动态变化敏感。
