Abstract
This study investigated the connection between mother-reported family conflict at age 3 and children’s executive functioning at age 5 and whether it is moderated by observed mother-child dyadic cooperation at age 3. Dyadic cooperation attenuated the negative association between family conflict and children’s later shifting, emotion control, and planning/organizing abilities.
