Longitudinal relations between martial conflict and child adjustment: Vagal regulation as a protective factor
Article Abstract:
Longitudinal relations between martial conflict and children's adjustment using conmmunity sample of elementary school- age children and young adolescents is examined and the role of children's vagal regulation in moderating the conflict- child problems link is assessed. Findings are supportive of the value of a biopsychological perspective and illustrate that child vagal regulation can contribute to the aggregation or amelioration of risk for maladjustment in the context of exposure to martial conflict.
