Parental conflicts and materialism in adolescents: Emotional insecurity as a mediator
2018, Journal of AdolescenceCitation Excerpt :In hopes of resolving the conflicts, it is also not uncommon for children to actively get involved in the conflicts (Adamson & Thompson, 1998; Emery, 1982). Jenkins, Smith, and Graham (1989) found that 71% of the children got themselves involved in their parents' conflicts in different ways - they may express their sadness openly or assume the role of a peacemaker trying to end the conflicts. However, it is not easy for children to resolve conflicts between their parents.
Intrafamilial physical victimization and externalizing behavior problems: Who remain the 'forgotten' children?
2012, Aggression and Violent BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Cicirelli (1996) points out that the theory of attachment is not restricted to the mother–child interaction and children may develop strong attachments to other individuals (e.g., siblings) who are responsive and supportive. Studies have found that a close sibling relationship may serve as a buffer to the impact of parental conflict (Jenkins & Smith, 1990; Waddell, Pepler, & Moore, 2001) and that children who are distressed due to exposure to parental conflict often seek out a sibling for comfort and support (Bank & Kahn, 1982; Jenkins, Smith, & Graham, 1989). Sibling groups may receive differential treatment from their parents, and differential treatment is associated with emotional and behavioral difficulties in children (Brody, 2004).
