Ties that bind: Triangulation, boundary dissolution, and the effects of interparental conflict on child development.

The extent to which the Minnesota Child Development Inventory (MCDI), could be used to estimate levels of language development in 2-year-old children was examined. Fifty-seven children between 23 and 28 months were given the Sequenced Inventory of Communication Development (SICD), and at the same time a parent completed the MCDI. In addition the mean length of utterance (MLU) was obtained for each child from a spontaneous speech sample. The MCDI Expressive Language scale was found to be a strong predictor of both the SICD Expressive scale and MLU. The MCDI Comprehension-Conceptual scale, presumably a receptive language measure, was moderately correlated with the SICD Receptive scale; however, it was also strongly correlated with the expressive measures. These results demonstrated that the Expressive Language scale of the MCDI was a valid predictor of expressive language for 2-year-old children. The MCDI Comprehension-Conceptual scale appeared to assess both receptive and expressive language, thus complicating its interpretation.

Abstract Complex trauma resulting from chronic maltreatment and prenatal alcohol exposure can significantly affect child development and academic outcomes. Children with histories of maltreatment and those with prenatal alcohol exposure exhibit remarkably similar central nervous system impairments. In this article, I will review the effects of each on the brain and discuss clinical implications for these populations of children.

Conflict Scale

Zusammenfassung.Die Children’s Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale (CPIC) von Grych, Seid und Fincham (1992) ist ein in der amerikanischen Forschung inzwischen gut etabliertes Fragebogenverfahren zur Erfassung elterlicher Konflikte aus der Sicht der betroffenen Kinder. Neben eher “objektiven“ äußeren Merkmalen des Konflikts wird auch die subjektive Bewertung der Kinder hinsichtlich der Ursachen und Bedeutsamkeit der elterlichen Auseinandersetzungen erfasst. Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit wird eine Kurzversion des CPIC vorgestellt, die an einer Stichprobe von 335 Kindern und Jugendlichen getestet wurde. Die Analysen hinsichtlich Dimensionalität, Reliabilität und Validität belegen die Güte der deutschen Fassung des CPIC. Der Fragebogen weist eine dreidimensionale Struktur auf mit den gegenüber dem amerikanischen Original inhaltlich etwas abweichend akzentuierten SkalenKonfliktpersistenz, Kind als Konfliktanlass und Kind als Vermittler.
