Child Emotional Security and Interparental Conflict tests a theory proposing that high levels of conflict between parents leads to an increased child risk for mental health difficulties by shaking the child's sense of security in the family. This insecurity was associated with greater mental health difficulties, even when considering the role of prior mental health, child perceptions of parental conflict, and parent-child relations.

Los Angeles) is professor of psychology and the Notre Dame Chair in
Psychology at the University of Notre Dame. His research interests
are broadly concerned with relations between adaptive and
