Marital problems have been related to numerous indexes of maladjustment in children. Although several parameters of this association have been identified, the process by which exposure to interparental conflict gives rise to adjustment problems in children is largely unexplored. Research on the link between marital conflict and child maladjustment therefore is critically evaluated, and a framework is presented that organizes existing studies and suggests directions for future research on processes that may account for the association. According to the framework, the impact of marital conflict is mediated by children's understanding of the conflict, which is shaped by contextual, cognitive, and developmental factors. The implications of the framework for children's adjustment are discussed.
婚姻问题与儿童适应不良的诸多指标相关。尽管已经确定了这种关联的几个参数，但父母间冲突如何导致儿童出现适应问题的过程在很大程度上仍未得到探索。因此，对婚姻冲突与儿童适应不良之间联系的研究进行了批判性评估，并提出了一个框架，该框架整理了现有研究，并为未来关于可能解释这种关联的过程的研究指明了方向。根据该框架，婚姻冲突的影响是通过儿童对冲突的理解来介导的，而这种理解是由情境、认知和发展因素塑造的。文中还讨论了该框架对儿童适应的影响。
