儿童对父母争吵的反应在9到12岁的儿童中进行了调查。139个家庭参与了这项研究。大约一半的孩子生活在不和谐的家庭，一半生活在和谐的家庭。对母亲和孩子进行了半结构化访谈，以确定孩子对父母争吵的特定情节的反应。71%的孩子表示会干预父母的争吵。研究人员还发现了一系列其他应对策略：与兄弟姐妹联系、向朋友倾诉、在争吵后向父母提供安慰、自责、寻找争吵的信息，以及从父母争吵中发现有益的一面。研究人员检验了这一假设，即某些应对策略与儿童行为和情绪问题的低水平有关。儿童干预父母争吵与情绪和行为问题之间的关系很弱。没有发现其他应对策略可以预测儿童的障碍。
Children's reactions to parental quarrels were investigated in a general population sample of children between 9 and 12 years old. One hundred and thirty-nine families participated in the study. Approximately half the children were living in disharmonious families and half were in harmonious families. Mothers and children were interviewed with semistructured interviews to determine how children responded to specific episodes of parental quarrelling. Seventy-one percent of children reported intervening in parental quarrels. A range of other coping strategies was identified: seeking contact with a sibling, confiding in friends, offering comfort to parents after a quarrel, self-blame, seeking information about quarrels, and perceiving beneficial aspects to parental quarrelling. The hypothesis was examined that certain coping strategies would be associated with lower levels of children's behavioral and emotional problems. Only a weak relationship was found between children's intervention in parental quarrels and emotional and behavioral problems. No other coping strategies were found to predict children's disturbance.
