Processes Underlying Children's Adjustment in Families Characterized by Physical Aggression.

Onyskiw, Judee; Hayduk, Leslie A.

Family Relations, v50 n4 p376-85 Oct 2001

The hypothesis that physical aggression in the family affects children's adjustment through both observational learning/modeling and through its impact on parenting was tested, via LISREL, using data from a sample of Canadian children (N=11,221). Results showed observational learning and disrupted parenting provide reasonable explanations of mothers' assessments of children's adjustment in families characterized by physical aggression. (BF)
