The relationships between children's interpersonal types
Abstract
This study investigated the peer relationship patterns of male and female children and their relationships with parental attachment and interparental conflicts. Participants were 266 children attending elementary school. They were asked to complete Children's Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale(CPIC), Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment(IPPA), and Children's Interpersonal Pattern Scale. Cluster analyses yielded three clusters for each male and female groups based on interpersonal patterns. With male children, the result indicated three clusters defined as intimate, hostile, and undifferentiated-conflicting. Female children were also categorized into three clusters named as proactive, competitive, and undifferentiated-avoidant. The MANOVA and post-hoc tests were performed to investigate the differences in parental attachment and interparental conflicts among the three cluster groups. The results showed that both male intimate and female proactive groups reported lower interparental conflicts and greater parental attachment than the other two groups. In contrast, the hostile group for boys and the competitive group for girls showed the greatest interparental conflicts and the lowest parental attachment. The characteristics of parental factors for the undifferentiated groups differed across gender. The female undifferentiated group showed lower parental attachment and greater interparental conflicts, similar to the competitive group. However, the male undifferentiated group showed greater parental attachment and greater interparetnal conflicts. The male and female undifferentiated groups were also distinctive from each other, in that the male undifferntiated group showed externalizing and offensive attitude toward the peers, but the female group displayed internalizing and avoidant interpersonal patterns. Based on these findings, the implications and the limitations of the study were discussed.
