  • Summary

    This chapter presents a new contextual coping model that integrates several major theoretical frameworks for studying children’s coping in the context of exposure to interparental conflict (IPC) after parental separation and divorce. We first provide a brief overview of the literature on postdivorce IPC and its risks to children’s development and well-being. We then consider how a new contextual coping model advances how we understand the complexity of children’s coping with IPC after parental separation/divorce. We discuss how this approach incorporates elements of other models that have been applied to children’s response to IPC more broadly. We review prior research and present new analyses that illustrate the utility of using a contextual coping model to understand children’s strategies for coping with post-separation/divorce IPC. We end the chapter with a discussion of implications of a contextual coping model for theory advancement and intervention strategies to promote children’s adaptive coping with post-separation/divorce IPC.
