The Connection Between Perceived Interparental Conflict,Parent-Child Relationship and Adolescent Psychological Crisis:The Mediation of Cognitive Flexibility
The study investigated the combined influence of perceived interparental conflict and parent-child relationship interactions on adolescent psychological crises,also considering the mediating role of cognitive flexibility.The results showed that:1)The combination of perceived interparental conflict and parent-child relationship significantly predicted adolescent depression and non-suicidal self-injury.2)If the perceived interparental conflict and parent-child relationship were congruent,compared to adolescents with low parent-child relationship and high perceived interparental conflict,those with high parent-child relationship and low perceived interparental conflict demonstrated higher levels of cognitive flexibility,thereby reducing the risk of depression and non-suicidal self-injury.3)If the perceived interparental conflict and parent-child relationship were incongruent,compared to adolescents with a low parent-child relationship and low perceived interparental conflict,individuals with high parent-child relationship and high perceived interparental conflict showed lower levels of cognitive flexibility,thus elevating the risk of depression and non-suicidal self-injury.
