Measures of parental affective style of communication, based on direct family discussions, were obtained for a sample of 52 families of disturbed but nonpsychotic adolescents. When the variations of both parents on the measure for two different measurement contexts were combined, an accurate prediction of subsequent psychiatric status at follow-up occurred. Adolescents with at least one parent who consistently displayed a pathological affective style of communication in both a dyadic and triadic discussion developed schizophrenia-spectrum disorders as young adults. Conversely, adolescents with at least one parent who was consistently benign in affective style had healthier outcomes. Finally, more serious young adult psychopathology was noted where both parents were inconsistent in their affective style from dyadic to triadic interaction. Methodological implications for family interaction research are discussed.
基于直接家庭讨论，对52个有情绪困扰但非精神病性青少年的家庭样本进行了父母情感沟通方式的测量。当将父母双方在两种不同测量情境下的测量结果变化结合起来时，就能准确预测随访时的后续精神状态。在二元和三元讨论中，至少有一位父母始终表现出病态情感沟通方式的青少年，在成年后会患上精神分裂症谱系障碍。相反，至少有一位父母情感风格始终温和的青少年，其结果更健康。最后，在二元互动到三元互动中，父母双方情感风格不一致的情况下，成年后的精神病理学问题更严重。本文还讨论了家庭互动研究的方法学意义。
