Interparental conflict, children's social cognitions, and child aggression: a test of a mediational model
Article Abstract:
This article examines the relationship between interparental conflict and children's level of aggression in different environments. The authors, analyzing a study conducted involving 115 families with children between the ages of 7 and 13, argue that children exposed to parental conflict often held distorted views about aggression and demonstrated poor problem-solving skills both at home and at school.
