- Impact of interparental conflict on emotional regulation and happiness in adolescentsPublication . Fernandes, Mariana Rodrigues; Almeida, TelmaIntroduction: Adolescence is an emotionally demanding period, marked by the consolidation of emotion regulation processes. Within this context, the impact of iinterparental conflict has been linked to poorer emotional adjustment in adolescents, particularly when it is perceived as threatening or poorly resolved, or when the adolescent is directly involved in the conflicts. Objectives: The present study analyzed the relationship between interparental conflict, emotion regulation, and happiness in adolescents, compared boys and girls as well as two age groups, and identified the predictors of happiness. Method: The study included 100 adolescents (56 girls, 44 boys) aged 12 to 17 years, who completed three questionnaires assessing the variables under study (Children's Perceptions of Interparental Conflict Scale – CPIC, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire – CERQ, and Subjective Happiness Scale). Results: The results showed that adolescents perceived interparental conflict mainly through perceived threat and triangulation, with low levels of conflict resolution, and tended to rely on adaptive emotion regulation strategies. Happiness was related to emotion regulation, particularly rumination and positive reappraisal, which emerged as the only significant predictors in the regression model, and was also associated with the content of interparental conflicts. No significant differences were found by biological sex or age group. Conclusion: The results suggest that adolescents' happiness is related to how they regulate their emotions and to the nature of their conflicts, which may also be relevant to adolescents' well-being. These findings suggest that it may be important to intervene at the level of adolescents' emotion regulation. This study falls within the scope of the One Health approach, recognizing adolescent health as part of a broader context shaped by interpersonal relationships and the family environment.
