This study attempted to examine the influence of parents' marital conflicts on children's behavioral problems with a particular emphasis on the moderating effect of coping efficacy. The subjects for this study were 391 students (210 boys and 181 girls) in the fifth and sixth grades. The results were as follows. First, there were positive correlations among the internalizing and externalizing problems, marital conflict and negative correlations with coping efficacy. The children who experienced more of their parents' marital conflicts also utilized less efficient coping skills. Second, in the case of girls, the coping efficacy functioned as a buffering variable for children who experienced their parents' marital conflicts. It reduced the internalizing and externalizing problems. However, the moderating effects of internalizing and externalizing problems were demonstrated only by the girls, not boys. The aims of this study were to predict children's behavioral problem by perception of parents' marital conflicts and to examine the moderating effect of coping efficacy. Partly, the moderating effect of coping efficacy were showed, improvement of coping efficacy will be effective intervention strategy for children to reduce behavioral problem and to grow to the fitness.
