| dcterms.abstract | Young children's social competence has profound effects on developmental outcomes (Diener & Kim, 2004). It has been well-established that children's home environments (i.e., parenting, interparental conflict) are related to children's later social competence (O'Connor, Jenkins, Hewitt, DeFries, & Plomin, 2001; Parke et al., 2001). A structural model was proposed that posited children's social information processing as a mechanism through which interparental conflict and parenting predict children's social competence. To test the proposed model, 397 families with at least one child between the ages of four and eight participated in the present study. The proposed model was analyzed and modified in Amos 20.0. The final structural model outlines pathways whereby parenting significantly predicts children's social competence directly and indirectly, through children's social information processing. Further, interparental conflict significantly indirectly predicts children's social competence, through parenting and children's social information processing. These pathways highlight the possible utility of two types of interventions to improve children's social competence in high conflict homes: (a) parenting interventions aimed at increasing positive parenting behaviors (e.g., warmth, responsiveness) and (b) interventions with children designed to correct their hostile attribution biases (e.g., by training them to interpret their peers' intentions more accurately and choose more appropriate behavioral responses). | |
