Mixed Message Resolution and Children's Responses to Interadult Conflict.

Shifflett-Simpson, Kelly; Cummings, E. Mark

Child Development, v67 n2 p437-48 Apr 1996

Examined 5- to 7- and 9- to 12-year-olds' responses to videotaped interadult conflicts in which the content and emotion of endings were either consistent or discrepant. Both younger and older children responded to content and emotion cues with their perceptions of adults' anger and conflict resolution, with positive emotion and nonconflictual endings each improving appraisals.
