Guided by conceptualizations of relational boundaries from family systems theory, this study examined unique links between detouring (e.g., alliance between parents against child) and young children's psychological functioning after accounting for general family negativity and conflict. Participants in this longitudinal (i.e., 2 annual waves of data collection), multimethod (i.e., observation, survey, semistructured interview), multiinformant (i.e., parent, teacher, observer) study included 218 young children (mean [M] age = 5.76 years) and their families. The findings from cross-lagged panel analysis indicated that detouring uniquely predicted increases in children's externalizing problems, hostile attribution bias, and peer rejection and victimization over a 1-year period (i.e., the transition from kindergarten to first grade). Conversely, the findings failed to support a child effects model in that child adjustment problems did not predict increases in detouring or family negativity and conflict over time.

家庭系统中的绕行是儿童适应问题的先决条件。


在家庭系统理论中关系边界概念化的指导下，本研究在考虑了一般家庭消极情绪和冲突后，探讨了绕行（例如，父母反对孩子的联盟）与幼儿心理功能之间的独特联系。这项纵向（即每年 2 波数据收集）、多方法（即观察、调查、半结构化访谈）、多信息者（即家长、老师、观察者）研究的参与者包括 218 名幼儿（平均 [M] 年龄 = 5.76年）和他们的家人。交叉滞后小组分析的结果表明，绕道独特地预测了一年内（即从幼儿园到一年级的过渡）儿童外化问题、敌对归因偏见以及同伴排斥和受害的增加。相反，研究结果未能支持儿童效应模型，因为儿童适应问题并不能预测随着时间的推移，绕行或家庭消极情绪和冲突的增加。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
