Abstract

This study examined the effects of children's belief in conflict control and ego-resiliency on their maladjustment under their parent's conflicts. Data of 1) severity of parent's conflict, parent's effectiveness of conflict coping, children's feeling of threat, and children's self-blame perceived by children in CPI-C, 2) children's belief of conflict control in DCCQ, 3) ego- resiliency in CCQ ego-resiliency scale, and 4) maladjustment level in KPIC rated by one of their parents were analysed by hierarchical regressions and difference tests of R2. The results were as follows: 1)Interaction effects of direct control and coping efficacy influenced to internalized problem and externalized problem; 2) Interaction effects of self-calming and coping efficacy influenced to internalized problem. Self-calming and self-blame influenced externalized problem; 3)Interaction effects of ego-resiliency and conflict intensity, and interaction effects of ego-resiliency and perceived threat influenced to externalized problem. This results show the effects of children's belief in conflict control and their ego-resiliency as moderate variables on their maladjustment under their parent's conflicts.
