Young Children’S Responses To Conflictual Adult Conversation, Jessica A. Cartozian
UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The current study evaluated relationships among children's cognitions following exposure to scripted conflictual interactions between adults.

Four hypotheses were investigated: Exposure to conflict would be related to greater distress following the conflictual script; attributional errors would be related to greater distress; child distress would be positively correlated with parental conflict at home; maternal psychopathology would be positively related with distress responses to the stimulus. All hypotheses were found to be non-significant. Explanations for non-significance include the normative sample, the …

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This study investigates the relationship between life events, self-monitoring, and aging.

The 120 volunteer participants ranged in age from 51 through …
