7. Project Summary/Abstract Children's functioning in the context of stressors is a matter of considerable public health significance. This project will improve identification of children at risk for poor outcomes when exposed to the stressor of interparental conflict. It will examine interrelations between the stressor of interparental conflict and children's temperament traits as predictors of children's emotional, behavioral, and physical health outcomes. The project will also examine mechanisms underlying associations between interparental conflict and outcomes-namely, children's neuropsychological processing, adrenocortical, emotional, and cognitive reactions to interparental conflict, and sleep problems. The project will also examine transactional processes involving the influence of children's behavior during parental conflict on parents' later conflict and on child outcomes. Methods include the use of electroencephalography (EEG) and Event-Related Potentials (ERP) techniques to examine neural processing of conflict stimuli, assaying of saliva samples for cortisol levels, observation of an interparental Problem Discussion in the child's presence, and questionnaires. Participants in the main study will be 100 nine- to eleven-year-old children and their parents. Data will also be collected from two smaller scale projects to facilitate the development of the main study. The proposal also includes secondary data analysis of data from a sample of 585 children and their parents. This data will facilitate addressing questions about interrelations between temperament, change in parental conflict, and change in child outcomes, including examination over an extended period of development. The career development plan includes intensive training in several areas, including children's temperament with Dr. John E. Bates (Indiana University). In addition, Dr. Douglas Granger (Pennsylvania State University) will provide training in adrenocortical functioning. Dr. Dennis Molfese (University of Louisville) will provide technical training in EEG and ERPs techniques in children, and Dr. Seth Pollak (University of Wisconsin- Madison) will provide training in research design and in the content area of brain activation and child functioning in the context of stressors. Dr. William Hetrick (Indiana University) will provide additional EEG/ERPs consultation, and Dr. Amy Holtzworth-Munroe (Indiana University) will provide training regarding marital relationship functioning.

7。项目摘要/摘要 在压力源的背景下，儿童的功能是具有相当大的公共卫生意义的问题。这 在暴露于压力源的压力源时 父母冲突。它将检查互段冲突和儿童的压力之间的相互关系 气质特征是儿童情绪，行为和身体健康结果的预测因素。项目 还将研究互互相冲突与结果之间的联系的机制 - 儿童神经心理学处理，肾上腺皮质，情感和认知反应 冲突和睡眠问题。该项目还将检查涉及影响的交易过程 父母对父母后来的冲突和儿童结果的行为。方法包括 脑电图（EEG）和事件相关电位（ERP）技术的使用来检查神经 冲突刺激的处理，唾液样品的皮质醇水平，观察父母 问题讨论在孩子的面前和问卷中。主要研究的参与者将为100 九至11岁的孩子及其父母。数据也将从两个较小的规模项目中收集 促进主要研究的发展。该提案还包括数据的辅助数据分析 来自585名儿童及其父母的样本。这些数据将有助于解决有关的问题 气质，父母冲突变化和儿童结局变化之间的相互关系，包括 在长时间的发展中检查。 职业发展计划包括在包括儿童气质在内的多个领域进行深入培训 与约翰·贝茨（John E. Bates）博士（印第安纳大学）。此外，道格拉斯·格兰杰（Douglas Granger）博士（宾夕法尼亚州立大学） 将提供肾上腺功能的培训。 Dennis Molfese博士（路易斯维尔大学）将提供 脑电图和儿童ERP技术的技术培训，以及威斯康星大学的Seth Pollak博士 - 麦迪逊）将提供研究设计和大脑激活和儿童内容领域的培训 在压力源的背景下发挥作用。威廉·霍特里克（William Hetrick）（印第安纳大学）将提供其他 EEG/ERPS咨询和Amy Holtzworth-Munroe博士（印第安纳大学）将提供有关有关的培训 婚姻关系功能。
