Abstract

Spillover from interparental conflict (IPC) to the parent-child relationship is a risk factor for adolescent emotional, social, and behavioral maladjustment. Parental depression increases the risk for more frequent and intense IPC over periods of months to years, but relatively little is known about whether parental depressive symptoms increase the risk for IPC and/or the propensity for spillover on short timescales. Using daily diary methods, we tested two hypotheses to evaluate whether parental depressive symptoms predict increased risk for IPC spillover: (a) a stress generation hypothesis, in which higher levels of parental depressive symptoms are associated with a greater tendency to experience IPC, which elevates risk for spillover, and (b) a spillover propensity hypothesis, in which parental depressive symptoms strengthen the within-person linkage between daily couple conflict and poorer parent-adolescent relations. We analyzed data from 150 adolescents and caregivers from two-caregiver families who completed baseline and 21-day daily diary surveys. Consistent with a stress generation hypothesis, parents who were higher in baseline depressive symptoms reported higher levels of IPC over 21 days. At the daily level, there was evidence of spillover from IPC to higher parent-adolescent conflict and lower parent-adolescent closeness, but there was no evidence for increased propensity for spillover by parents' baseline depressive symptoms or daily depressed mood. Rather, there was a direct association between higher daily parental depressed mood and poorer daily parent-adolescent relationship quality (lower closeness, higher conflict). Ameliorating parental depressive symptoms may improve parent-adolescent relationship quality directly, as well as indirectly by decreasing the risk for IPC.

父母间的冲突外溢:研究父母抑郁的风险途径。
父母间冲突(IPC)蔓延到亲子关系中是青少年情绪、社交和行为适应不良的一个风险因素。父母抑郁会增加数月至数年内发生更频繁、更激烈的父母间冲突的风险,但对于父母抑郁症状是否会增加发生父母间冲突的风险和/或短时间内发生冲突外溢的倾向却知之甚少。我们使用每日日记的方法测试了两个假设,以评估父母抑郁症状是否能预测IPC外溢风险的增加:(a)压力产生假设,即父母抑郁症状水平越高,越倾向于经历IPC,从而增加了外溢风险;(b)外溢倾向假设,即父母抑郁症状加强了日常夫妻冲突和父母与青少年关系不佳之间的人际联系。我们分析了来自双抚养人家庭的 150 名青少年和抚养人的数据,他们完成了基线调查和 21 天的每日日记调查。与压力产生假说一致的是,基线抑郁症状较高的父母在 21 天内报告的 IPC 水平较高。在日常层面上,有证据表明,IPC 会导致父母与青少年之间的冲突增加和父母与青少年之间的亲密程度降低,但没有证据表明,父母的基线抑郁症状或日常抑郁情绪会增加溢出倾向。相反,父母每日较高的抑郁情绪与较差的亲子关系质量(较低的亲密度、较高的冲突)之间存在直接关联。改善父母的抑郁症状可能会直接改善父母与青少年的关系质量,也可能通过降低发生 IPC 的风险间接改善这种关系质量。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有)。
