Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze relationships between interparental conflict and experienced fears in middle adolescents. A total of 534 fifteen-year-old adolescents from the European Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood (49% girls) completed measures of interparental conflict (Children's Perceptions of Interparental Conflict Scale) and their subjective experienced fears (free-response method Cake of Fear). Multiple linear regression analyses indicate that sex significantly predicted the number of reported fears as did feelings of own efficacy in coping with interparental conflict. Girls tend to report more fears and higher conflict frequency, intensity, and threat than boys; the growing feeling of coping efficacy with parental conflict decreases the amount of reported fears only in the group of boys.
