Conceptual model depicting cross-lagged and autoregressive paths between family conflict and child internalizing problems across ages 6 and 8 (Hypothesis #1) and a transactional process indicated by paths from age 6 child internalizing problems to age 8 family conflict, and from age 8 family conflict to age 10 child externalizing problems (Hypothesis #2). Bolded arrows represent primary paths of interest. For simplicity, bivariate correlations between variables at same time points and sociodemographic covariates are not shown
