Marital conflict is common in many families. The effects of marital conflict may often spill over to parent-child dyads and affect children's development via their parenting practices. However, couples handle their marital conflict in different ways, and conflict resolution strategies may play a role in children's outcomes. Although mother-reported marital conflict has been a primary focus in most prior studies, little is known about fathers' perspectives. To that end, we examined the mediating effect of fathers' parenting in the association between the frequency of marital conflict and mother-reported children's socioemotional skills in preschool, as well as the moderating role of father constructive conflict resolution frequency in the association between father reports of the frequency of the marital conflict and parenting. Results indicate that father parenting warmth and parenting stress mediated the association between the frequency of marital conflict and children's socioemotional skills. We also found that father reports of the frequency of the marital conflict was positively associated with involvement and negatively associated with warmth at higher levels of constructive conflict resolution frequency. Fathers who reported higher constructive conflict resolution frequency showed higher father involvement and warmth. Finally, the moderated-mediation analysis revealed that, after accounting for mothers' parenting variables, father warmth was the moderated mediator, such that there was a negative indirect effect between the frequency of marital conflict and children's socioemotional skills through father warmth at average and higher levels of constructive conflict resolution frequency.

父亲的婚姻冲突和儿童的社会情感技能：冲突解决和养育的调节调解模型。

婚姻冲突在许多家庭中都很常见。婚姻冲突的影响往往会波及亲子关系，并通过养育方式影响儿童的发展。然而，夫妻处理婚姻冲突的方式不同，解决冲突的策略可能会对孩子的结果产生影响。尽管母亲报告的婚姻冲突一直是大多数先前研究的主要焦点，但人们对父亲的观点知之甚少。为此，我们研究了父亲养育方式在婚姻冲突频率与母亲报告的学前儿童社会情感技能之间关系中的中介作用，以及父亲建设性冲突解决频率在父亲报告之间关系中的调节作用。婚姻冲突和养育子女的频率。结果表明，父亲养育温暖和养育压力介导了婚姻冲突频率与儿童社会情感技能之间的关联。我们还发现，父亲对婚姻冲突频率的报告与参与度呈正相关，与建设性冲突解决频率较高水平的温暖度呈负相关。建设性冲突解决频率较高的父亲表现出较高的父亲参与度和温暖度。最后，有调节的中介分析表明，在考虑了母亲的养育变量后，父亲的温暖是有调节的中介变量，因此，平均和较高水平的父亲温暖对婚姻冲突的频率和孩子的社会情感技能之间存在负向的间接影响。建设性冲突解决频率的水平。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
