Abstract: This study tested whether the mediational pathway involving interparental conflict, adolescent emotional insecurity, and their psychological problems was altered by their earlier childhood histories of insecurity.

“…Young children may have an increased sensitivity to conflict, as early childhood exposure may initiate negative long-term developmental trajectories (see Cummings, George, McCoy & Davies, 2012a;Davies, Sturge-Apple, Boscoe, & Cummings, 2014), including in contexts of political violence Merrilees et al, 2013;Taylor, Merrilees, Goeke-Morey, Shirlow, & Cummings, 2016). During and after periods of active conflict, youth are often exposed to multiple risk factors, including acts of violence, bodily danger, poverty, displacement from their homes and communities, and disruptions of their attachment relationships and educational experiences.…”

“…Estudo longitudinal realizado com 235 famílias nos Estados Unidos durante 7 anos apontou o efeito mediador que a insegurança sobre o relacionamento conjugal atua entre a exposição ao conflito e problemas no desenvolvimento dos filhos na ultima fase da pesquisa (George, Fairchild, Cummings, & Davies, 2014;Davies, Sturge-Apple, Bascoe, & Cummings, 2014). As consequências para o desenvolvimento demonstradas pelos resultados falam de maior incidência de distúrbios alimentares (George, Fairchild, Cummings, & Davies, 2014) além de maiores níveis de problemas psicológicos como, dificuldades emocionais, problemas de comportamento, menor desempenho acadêmico e dificuldades interpessoais (Davies, Sturge-Apple, Bascoe, & Cummings, 2014).…”
