爸爸妈妈不要吵架，我好害怕

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 in- volved 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 under- mines the child's sense of emotional security. 一项新的研究显示，父母处理夫妻间分歧的方式对他们的孩子的健康有很大的影响。亚利桑那大学的科研人员就“父母冲突及其对孩子从孕育到三岁的健康的影响”进行了研究。研究生Olena Kopystynska及其同事得出结论：虽然“建设性”冲突可能有用，甚至具有启发性，但“破坏性”冲突 会侵蚀儿童的心理安全感。 没有参与此项研究的内布拉斯加大学林肯分校的教育心理学系讲师 Meredith Martin说：孩子们对愤怒的迹象十分敏感一一他们对具有威胁性的事物很敏感。所以如果父母生气或者大喊大叫，或者父母中某个人表现出恐惧的迹象，都会破坏孩子的心理安全感。
