Abstract

Adolescence is marked by significant emotional fluctuations, with heightened emotional reactivity to stressors leading to the development of psychopathology. This study examined the linear and curvilinear associations between emotional reactivity to parent–adolescent conflicts, defined as greater increases in negative emotions (NE reactivity) and greater decreases in positive emotions (PE reactivity), and adolescent psychopathology in a sample of 147 Taiwanese adolescents who completed 10-day daily diary protocols and three-month follow-up assessments. The results showed that heightened NE reactivity was linearly associated with increased internalizing problems. PE reactivity showed linear associations with internalizing problems, externalizing problems, and suicidal ideation. Curvilinear analyses indicated that extreme levels of NE reactivity (both heightened and blunted) predicted greater internalizing problems, while extreme PE reactivity was associated with increased suicidal ideation. These results suggest that both hyperreactivity and hyporeactivity in emotional responses to parent–adolescent conflicts elevate the risk for multiple psychopathological outcomes. This study underscores the need to consider the nonlinear dynamics of emotional reactivity in understanding adolescent psychopathology and highlights the day-to-day emotional responses and their impacts on psychopathology.

情绪反应与青少年精神病理发展之间的线性和曲线关系。
青春期以显著的情绪波动为特征,对压力源的情绪反应增强,导致精神病理学的发展。摘要本研究以147名台湾青少年为研究对象,检视父母-青少年冲突的情绪反应(负面情绪增加较多,正面情绪减少较多)与青少年精神病理之间的线性与曲线关系。这些青少年完成了为期10天的每日日记和三个月的随访评估。结果表明,NE反应性的提高与内化问题的增加呈线性相关。PE反应性与内在化问题、外在化问题和自杀意念呈线性相关。曲线分析表明,NE反应性的极端水平(高或低)预示着更大的内化问题,而PE反应性的极端水平则与自杀意念的增加有关。这些结果表明,父母-青少年冲突的情绪反应的高反应性和低反应性都会增加多种精神病理结果的风险。本研究强调了在理解青少年精神病理时需要考虑情绪反应的非线性动力学,并强调了日常情绪反应及其对精神病理的影响。

期刊介绍: Multidisciplinary and international in scope, the Journal of Research on Adolescence (JRA) significantly advances knowledge in the field of adolescent research. Employing a diverse array of methodologies, this compelling journal publishes original research and integrative reviews of the highest level of scholarship. Featured studies include both quantitative and qualitative methodologies applied to cognitive, physical, emotional, and social development and behavior. Articles pertinent to the variety of developmental patterns inherent throughout adolescence are featured, including cross-national and cross-cultural studies. Attention is given to normative patterns of behavior as well as individual differences rooted in personal or social and cultural factors.
