Coping, Stress, and the Psychological Symptoms of Children of Divorce: A Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Study.
Sandler, Irwin N.; And Others
Child Development, v65 n6 p1744-63 Dec 1994
Examined stress and coping symptoms of 258 children whose parents were divorced. Found that, in the cross-sectional model, avoidance coping partially mediated the relations between negative events and symptoms; while active coping moderated between negative events and conduct problems. In the longitudinal model, significant negative paths were found from active coping and distraction to internalizing symptoms. (AA)
