본 연구는 부모의 갈등해결행동이 아동의 심리적 적응에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 초등학교 6학년 466명을 연구대상으로 하였다. 연구 결과에 의하면 부모의 갈등해결정도와 갈등해결행동은 아동의 우울, 불안, 공격성과 밀접한 관계가 있었다. 특히, 부부문제를 해결하기 위해 자녀를 끌어들이는 자녀개입과 부부간의 비협력적 태도는 아동의 우울 및 불안을 유발시키고 있었으며, 부모의 갈등이 해결될 기미를 보이지 않는 교착행동이나 부모의 신체적 공격행동은 아동의 공격성에 영향을 주고 있었다. 부모의 갈등해결행동 중 자녀개입은 아동의 심리적 적응에 부정적 영향을 미치는 가장 강력한 변인으로 나타났다. 반면, 부모가 갈등이 있더라도 갈등을 자녀 앞에서 외현적으로 드러내지 않는 회피 행동은 아동의 우울, 불안 같은 내면화 문제를 증가시키지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
