This research investigated whether biases in processing threatening emotional cues operate as an indirect pathway through which parental harsh discipline is associated with adolescent socio‐emotional functioning. Participants were 192 adolescents (M age = 12.4), and their parents assessed over two years. Findings revealed two significant indirect pathways involving fear processing. Greater parental harsh discipline was linked to more emotional response inhibition difficulty for fear, which was linked to more depressive symptoms in the following year. Greater parental harsh discipline was also associated with more emotional response inhibition difficulty for fear, and thereby, more peer problems later. Findings suggest that adolescent emotional processing operated as an indirect pathway linking parental harsh discipline and adolescent socio‐emotional functioning within the broader social context.

情绪处理在父母管教与青少年社会情绪发展之间的关系中的作用

这项研究调查了在处理威胁性情绪线索时的偏见是否作为一种间接途径，通过这种途径，父母的严厉管教与青少年的社会情绪功能有关。参与者是 192 名青少年 ( M年龄 = 12.4），并且他们的父母评估了两年。研究结果揭示了涉及恐惧处理的两个重要的间接途径。父母更严厉的管教与更多的恐惧情绪反应抑制困难有关，这与第二年更多的抑郁症状有关。更严厉的父母严厉管教也与更多的恐惧情绪反应抑制困难有关，因此，以后会出现更多的同伴问题。研究结果表明，青少年情绪处理是一种间接途径，将父母严厉的管教与更广泛的社会背景下的青少年社会情绪功能联系起来。
