Family conflict and child adjustment: Evidence for a cognitive-contextual model of intergenerational transmission
Article Abstract:
Three studies tested the cognitive-contextual model of Grych and Fincham (1990), based on a stepwise regression paradigm, with regard to marital conflict/child adjustment. The results show that boys and girls see the same levels of marital conflict and equal levels of conflict resolution methods used by parents. Boys, however, tended to blame themselves for parental arguments. There is no support to Grych and Fincham's model that raising accuracy in the prediction of adjustment problems is afforded by considering conflict properties.
