TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - The Role of Family Support in Interparental Conflict and Adolescent Academic Achievement JO - Journal of child and family studies A1 - Unger, Donald G. A1 - McLeod, Laurie Ellis A1 - Brown, Margaret B. A1 - Tressell, Patricia A. SP - 191 EP - 202 VL - 9 IS - 2 N2 - Family support was examined as a mediator of the relation between interparental conflict and adolescent academic achievement. Results indicated that two dimensions of family support, family cohesion and parent-school involvement, mediated the relation between interparental conflict and academic achievement. The results further suggested that family support was more likely to function as a mediator for girls than for boys. Lastly, in the presence of a mediating effect, a direct path remained between interparental conflict and grade point average.
