The Role of Emotion in Children's Understanding and Emotional Reactions to Marital Conflict.

Crockenberg, Susan; Forgays, Deborah Kirby

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v42 n1 p22-47 Jan 1996

Tested a process model for the impact of children's exposure to marital conflict on their behavior adjustment with a sample of 28 couples and their 6-year-old children. Found that maternal conflict behavior and children's negative emotional reactions to fathers independently predicted children's behavioral adjustment. (MDM)
