Marital conflict causes stress in children, may affect cognitive development

Marital conflict causes stress in children, may affect cognitive development: Marital conflict is a significant source of environmental stress for children, and witnessing such conflict may harm children's stress response systems which, in turn, may affect their mental and intellectual development.






These conclusions come from a new study by researchers at Auburn University and the Catholic University of America. The study appears in the journal Child Development.
