Abstract

Given that adolescence is a critical period for socioemotional development, marked by shifting dynamics in the parent-child relationship, parent-adolescent dyadic regulation may serve as a key mechanism linking the quality of the parent-adolescent relationship to adolescent mental health. The current study investigated two dyadic regulatory processes during mother-adolescent conflictual interactions as interpersonal mechanisms underlying the link between adolescent-mother attachment security and adolescents’ internalizing and externalizing symptoms: (a) mutual engagement in positive affect (i.e., dyadic positivity) and (b) mutual engagement in re-coordination following relational mismatches (i.e., dyadic repair). Eighty-six adolescents (Mage = 13.3 years, SD = 0.6, 37% girls) and their mothers participated. Path models revealed that attachment security was associated with greater engagement in dyadic positivity and repair. Moreover, the indirect effect of attachment security on adolescents’ symptoms (i.e., internalizing symptoms at age 13 and externalizing symptoms at age 14) was significant via dyadic positivity, but not dyadic repair. Dyadic positivity during mother-adolescent conflictual interactions may be one interpersonal process that underlies the link between a secure child-mother attachment and mental health during adolescence.

青少年与母亲的依恋关系和二元情感过程:内化和外化症状的预测因素
青春期是社会情感发展的关键时期,亲子关系的动态变化标志着这一时期的发展,因此,亲子关系的双向调节可能是亲子关系质量与青少年心理健康之间的一个关键机制。本研究调查了在母亲与青少年的冲突互动中,作为青少年-母亲依恋安全与青少年内化和外化症状之间联系的人际机制的两个双亲调节过程:(a)相互参与积极情感(即双亲积极性)和(b)相互参与关系失配后的重新协调(即双亲修复)。86名青少年(年龄=13.3岁,标准差=0.6,37%为女孩)及其母亲参加了此次研究。路径模型显示,依恋安全感与更多地参与关系积极性和修复有关。此外,依恋安全感对青少年症状(即 13 岁时的内化症状和 14 岁时的外化症状)的间接影响通过干系积极性而非干系修复显著。在母亲与青少年的冲突互动中,双亲的积极性可能是安全的儿童-母亲依恋与青少年心理健康之间联系的一个人际过程。
