EXCERPT: In investigating the effects of divorce/separation and childhood/aggression, we will look to see whether the quality of the mother-child relationship alters the effects. Although there is some evidence for the relevance of parent-child relations for medically attended accidents/injuries in childhood (Rivara 1995; Matheny 1988), the mediating role that it plays in the relationship between divorce/separation and childhood aggression and between divorce/separation and accident/injuries has not been examined. Thus, a final objective of this work is to shed light on the dynamic among parental divorce/separation, quality of the mother-child relationship, childhood aggression, and the occurrence of medically attended accident/injuries among children by considering the role of possible mediating factors.
