Children's appraisals of interparental conflict: Situational and contextual influences
Article Abstract:
Children's appraisals of interparental conflict have been related to their adjustment and strategies for coping with conflict. A study looked at the cognitive and emotional responses of 7-12 year old children to audiotaped conflictual interactions. Consistent predictors were found to be the rate of hostility expressed in the interaction, prior experience with physically aggressive interparental conflict and their age, indicating that their perception and interpretation of conflict are affected by the wider context in which the conflict occurs.

Young children's appraisals of interparental conflict: Measurement and links with adjustment problems
Article Abstract:
An attempt is made to understand developmental aspects of children's conflict appraisals. It is revealed that appraisals of interparental conflict can be reliably measured at relatively young ages and suggested that perception of threat and self- blame function similarly in 7- to 9-year-olds as they do in older children.
