Previous research has shown that interparental and parent-child interactions are key predictors of child adjustment, but little is known about the joint predictive power of these family factors with regard to the development of children’s internalizing and externalizing problems. The aims of the present study are (1) to examine the codevelopment of interparental conflict and emotional warmth in the parent-child relationship in families, and (2) to investigate whether these codevelopmental trajectories of interparental conflict and emotional warmth in the parent-child relationship jointly contribute to the longitudinal development of children’s internalizing and externalizing problems. We will use longitudinal survey data gathered annually for eight years (Waves 2 to 10) from over 860 families in the German Family Panel (pairfam) study (Brüderl et al., 2019; Huinink et al., 2011). In the first analytic step, data will be analyzed using growth-mixture modeling (GMM) to identify distinct patterns of trajectories of interparental conflict and emotional warmth in the parent-child relationship, reported by one parent. In the next step, we will examine parents’ latent trajectory classes as a predictor of the longitudinal development of children’s self-reported internalizing and externalizing problems across eight years with latent growth curve models (LGCM). |
