Abstract
This study explores the role of coparenting as mediator in the association between marital adjustment and psychological adjustment of school-age children (8-11 years old). A set of measures DAS (marital adjustment), CRS (coparenting) and CBCL (internalizing and externalizing behaviors of children) were administered to 58 mothers and fathers. Results show that the dimension of coparenting “exposure of child to conflict” mediates the associations between marital adjustment and internalizing behaviors while the dimensions “exposure of child to conflict” and “endorsement of partner’s parenting” jointly mediate the associations between marital adjustment and externalizing behaviors. Clinical implications and interventions are discussed.
