Enduring Conflict in Parental Separation: Pathways of Impact on Child Development (2003, background): “• Frequency interacts with other dimensions of conflict, for example, intensity, severity, or destructiveness, and the message or meaning of parents' arguments (Cummings & Davies, 2002; Jourilles et al., 1991).”
Communication Processes that Predict Young Adults’ Feelings of Being Caught and their Associations with Mental Health and Family Satisfaction (2007, background): “However, as these authors and others (e.g., Cummings & Davies, 2002; Stocker et al., 2003) contend, most researchers simply examine the overall amount of interparental conflict, rather than specific types of conflict, and its impact on children’s well-being.”
Trait emotional intelligence, conflict communication patterns, and relationship satisfaction (2008, background): “Children’s behaviour too, is known to be affected by conflict, and has been associated with increases in internalizing (e.g. depression and anxiety) and externalizing (aggression and delinquency) behaviours (Cummings & Davies, 2002).”
Marital conflict, child emotional security about family relationships and child adjustment (2004, background): “For example, highlighting the usefulness of experiments in family research (see Cummings, 1995; Cummings & Davies, 2002), the impact of children’s history of exposure to interparental conflict on their symptoms of psychological distress (e.g., J. S. Cummings, Pelligrini, Notarious & Cummings, 1989;…”
Avoidance among adolescents in conversations about their parents’ relationship: Applying the Theory of Motivated Information Management (2009, background): “Since the relationship between exspouses is often strained (Amato, 2000; Cummings & Davies, 2002) and adolescents in these situations are more likely than those from intact families to feel caught between their parents (T. Afifi & Schrodt, 2003a; Schrodt & Afifi, 2007), these concerns seem well…”
Marital Conflict and Children's Adjustment: Evaluation of the Parenting Process Model. (2007, background): “In addition, results from model tests including autoregressive controls for adjustment suggest the importance of further investigations of direct effects and child effects (Cummings & Davies, 2002).”
The Role of the Family Context in the Development of Emotion Regulation. (2007, background): “These adult relationships contribute significantly to the emotional climate of the family, and many studies have linked martial conflict to adjustment difficulties in both children and adolescents (Cummings & Davies, 2002).”
Differences in Perceived Parenting Style Between Mothers and Fathers: Implications for Child Outcomes and Marital Conflict (2016, background): “The Emotional Security theory proposed by Cummings and Davies (2002) suggests that when a child is exposed to destructive parental conflict, this leads to feelings of emotional insecurity, which threatens the child’s confidence and increases the risk for child psychological problems.”
Family processes in the midst of urban poverty: What does the trauma literature tell us? (2005, background): “These studies show that disturbances between intimate partners spill over and impact parenting, parent–child, and sibling relationships (Cummings & Davies, 2002).”
