Post-Divorce Interparental Conflict, Children's Contact with Both Parents, Children's Emotional Processes, and Children's Behavioral Adjustment

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between post-divorce interparental conflict and children's behavioral adjustment as influenced by mother-child relationship, children's contact with both parents, as well as children's self-report of their emotional experiences and emotional regulation strategies. Findings indicated intriguing pathways through which post-divorce interparental conflict predicted children's behavioral adjustment. Post-divorce interparental conflict, as reported by the mothers, directly predicted increased behavior problems in children; this phenomenon, however, was also mediated by children's continued contact with both parents, children's self-reported emotion of anger and the use of support-seeking from parents. Implications of such Findings were discussed.
