Marital Conflict and Child Adjustment Problems
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Researches on the link between marital conflict and child maladjustment are reviewed, with a focus on the emotional security hypothesis(Davies and Cummings 1994). The hypothesis that builds on attachment theory is proposed to account for erecent
empirical findings on the impact of marital conflict on children and to provide directions for future research. According to the hypothesis, children's concerns about emotional security play a role in their regulation of emotional arousal and
organization and in their motivation to respond in the face of marital conflict. Over time these response processes and internalized representations of parental relations that develop have implications for children's long-term adjustment.
Emotional
security is seen as a product of past experiences with marital conflict and as a primary influence on future responding. The impact and interaction of other experiential histories within the family that affect children's emotional security are
also
examined, with a focus on parent-child relations. Finally, some issues for future reseach are discussed.
