According to a new study, how parents choose to manage their disagreements can have a significant effect on their child's well-being. Researchers from the University of Arizona looked at parental conflict and its effect on a child's well-being beginning in pregnancy and ending when the child's turned three. Graduate student Olena Kopystynska and her colleagues concluded that while "constructive" conflict can be useful and even instructive, "destructive" conflict erodes children's emotional security. Meredith Martin, an assistant professor in the Educational Psychology Department at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, who was not involved in the study, said kids are sensitive to signs of anger - they are sensitive to what is threatening. So, if parents are making angry faces or yelling, or one parent is showing signs of fear, that undermines the child's sense of emotional security. 一項新的研究顯示,父母處理夫妻間分歧的方式對他們的孩子的健康有很大的影響。亞利桑那大學(xué)的科研人員就“父母沖突及其對孩子從孕育到三歲的健康的影響”進行了研究。研究生 Olena Kopystynska及其同事得出結(jié)論:雖然“建設(shè)性”沖突可能有用,甚至具有啟發(fā)性,但“破壞性”沖突會侵蝕兒童的心理安全感。 沒有參與此項研究的內(nèi)布拉斯加大學(xué)林肯分校的教育心理學(xué)系講師 Meredith Martin說:孩子們對憤怒的跡象十分敏感一一他們對具有威脅性的事物很敏感。所以如果父母生氣或者大喊大叫,或者父母中某個人表現(xiàn)出恐懼的跡象,都會破壞孩子的心理安全感。
