Participating teens were in the 9th and 10th grades, and ranged from 13 to 16 years old. By analyzing these diaries, the researchers could connect parents' displays of warmth with daily fluctuations(波动) in how loved their teens were feeling. “The daily methodology is suited to providing caregivers with practical suggestions for daily life，” says Beata Ujvari, who was not involved in the study. Regardless of the general closeness of the parent－teen relationship, the researchers found that teens reported feeling more loved on days when parents reported showing more warmth in the form of affection, understanding, or praise. Likewise, teens reported feeling less loved on days when parents reported more conflicts than usual. More importantly, the researchers also found that parents could weaken the impact of conflicts by showing their teens warmth. In other words, on days when parents were warm, high levels of conflicts didn't reduce how loved teens felt. To weaken conflicts' impact, warmth had to be shown on the same day, but the warmth and conflicts did not need to be related, the researchers said. “Parents often complain about the conflicts they are experiencing with their children，” said John Coffey, the study's lead author, “but our study suggests conflicts are manageable.” The study adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting daily fluctuations in feeling loved are common even in long－term relationships. How parents and teens communicate and resolve conflicts may be most important to maintaining a healthy relationship in the long term, said the researchers. “The study findings are particularly useful right now，” added Coffey, “because parents and their children are spending much time together. Finding ways to be kind and warm will help lessen potential conflicts and ensure children feel loved.” 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了耶鲁大学儿童研究中心发现家长表达温暖与青少年感受到的被爱程度之间的日常波动有关，家长在同一天表达温暖可以减弱冲 ... ...
