Linking marital and child attributions to family processes and parent-child relationships

Article Abstract:

Spouses' conflict promoting attributions directly relate to parenting practices, through their effects on the marital context. Fathers tend to show stronger effects of marital attributions and marital context on positive and negative parenting behavior than mothers. Marital attributions affect only negative parenting in mothers, although marital context has an indirect effect on both positive and negative parenting. Children's attributions for negative parental behavior are related to conflict-promoting marital attributions, and consequent ineffective parent-child communication.

Marital violence, marital distress, and attributions

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that models of marital violence and marriage should concentrate on cognitive variables. The interplay between attributions for marital events, marital violence and marital distress were analysed in two studies, with marital violence potentially confounding empirical associations in marital distress. One study showed the violence was not considered part of the satisfaction-attribution association among newlywed husbands, while the other study demonstrated responsibility and causal attributions were associated with marital satisfaction.
