| Abstract | Youths’ exposure to marital aggression is a widespread problem. Many studies point to adverse behavioral consequences for young children, but more examination is needed of factors that might influence a relation between exposure to marital aggression and adolescent behavioral outcomes. The present study focused on emotion regulation as one possible mechanism. Data were analyzed from four waves of a prospective longitudinal study on two-parent families with a 14- to 16-year-old in Wave 4 (N=83). Questionnaires from parents and youth measured frequency of marital physical and psychological aggression, and youth emotion regulation and behavioral outcomes. Structural Equation Models revealed that emotion dysregulation provided an indirect link between marital aggression and adolescents’ internalizing and externalizing problems. Effects were observed cross-sectionally and longitudinally. A reciprocal relation was also found between emotion dysregulation and behavioral outcomes such that the two had independent and bidirectional influences on each other across time. |
