幼儿（n = 96）在5岁时和6岁时对父母婚姻冲突的看法和评价进行了评估。每位家长对婚姻冲突的同时报告和教师对儿童课堂调整的报告作为评估幼儿看法有效性的标准。孩子对父母婚姻关系的看法与配偶在 5 岁和 6 岁时的报告显着相关，也与老师对内化和外化问题的报告相关。与认知语境理论一致，儿童因父母冲突而责备自己的倾向在一定程度上调节了婚姻冲突与儿童内化症状之间的联系。相比之下，儿童报告称他们卷入了父母的冲突，部分调节了婚姻冲突对外化问题的影响。
Young children's (n = 96) perceptions and appraisals of their parents' marital conflict were evaluated at age 5 and again at age 6. Concurrent reports of marital conflict by each parent and teachers' reports of children's classroom adjustment served as criteria against which to evaluate the validity Of Young children's perceptions. Children's perceptions of their parents' marital relationship were significantly correlated with spouses' reports at ages 5 and 6, as well as correlated with teacher reports of internalizing and externalizing problems. Consistent with the cognitive-contextual theory, children's tendency to blame themselves for their parents' conflict partially mediated the link between marital conflict and children's internalizing symptoms. In contrast, children's reports that they become involved in their parents' conflict partially mediated the effect of marital conflict on externalizing problems.
