In the literature, little attention has been paid to the specific impact of child-related versus adult-related inter-parental conflicts on children's intrapersonal processes and adjustment. Aimed to advance knowledge on this topic, the cross-sectional study explores: 1) the predictive effects of the two forms of inter-parental conflicts on: a) children's internalizing/externalizing behaviors and b) children's cognitive appraisals, emotional distress, and triangulation; 2) the mediating role of children's cognitive appraisals, emotional distress, and triangulation, in the association between adult-related vs child-related conflict and children's adjustment. Seventy-five school-aged children and their parents completed measures of inter-parental conflict, cognitive, emotional and behavioral processes and child adjustment. The results indicated that: 1) higher levels of adult-related inter-parental conflict promoted children's internalizing behaviors, through the mediation of perceived threat; 2) higher levels of child-related inter-parental discord promoted both children's internalizing/externalzing behaviors, through the mediation of perceived threat and self-blame.
在文献中，很少有人关注与儿童相关的夫妻冲突和与成人相关的夫妻冲突对儿童个人内心过程和适应的具体影响。为了增进对这一主题的了解，这项横断面研究探讨了：1）两种形式的夫妻冲突对以下方面的预测作用：a）儿童的内化/外化行为，以及b）儿童的认知评估、情绪困扰和三角关系；2）儿童的认知评估、情绪困扰和三角关系在与成人相关的冲突和与儿童相关的冲突与儿童适应之间的关联中所起的中介作用。75名学龄儿童及其父母完成了夫妻冲突、认知、情绪和行为过程以及儿童适应方面的测量。结果表明：1）更高水平的与成人相关的夫妻冲突通过感知到的威胁这一中介促进了儿童的内化行为；2）更高水平的与儿童相关的夫妻不和通过感知到的威胁和自责这两个中介促进了儿童的内化/外化行为。
