Abstract Children's appraisals and strategies for coping with interparental conflict were assessed in a community sample of 154 families with school-aged children, 72 of whom reported some physical aggression between parents in the past year. Children from violent homes perceived interparental quarrels as more frequent and threatening, and were rated higher by their parents in internalizing, externalizing, and total problems than children from nonviolent homes. Boys from violent homes were rated higher in internalizing and total problems than all other children. Associations among appraisals of interparental conflict, coping strategies, and measures of adjustment revealed different patterns for boys and girls from violent homes. These data contribute to the development of process models of the mechanisms by which interparental violence affects children's adjustment.
