Mediational analysis of the relation between war, parental mental health indices and parenting satisfaction (procedure:Baron & Kenny, 1986) War Parental Mental Health Problems Parenting Satisfaction + - War Mother’s Depression Parenting Satisfaction .27*** -.12*** (.00) -.44*** (-.45***) Father’s Depression .39*** -.46*** (-.42***) -.28*** (-.12***) War Mother’s Aggressiveness Parenting Satisfaction .28*** -.12*** (.02) -.43*** (-.42***) Father’s Aggressiveness .36*** -.39*** (-.31***) -.28*** (-.16***) 16/09/2018 8th Alps-Adria Psychology Conference, October 2-4, 2008, Ljubljana, Slovenia

18 Conclusions Parents reported mild negative influence of the war mostly on their living standards and future plans, less on life satisfaction, values and attitudes and the least on personal well being and relationships with others Parental mental health is the strongest predictor of parenting behavior and satisfaction After controlling for child’s demographics war explains 2-8% of the variance of parenting behavior and satisfaction War has both direct and indirect effect on parenting via parental mental health Social support is related to positive parenting and parenting satisfaction, but not to negative parenting 16/09/2018 8th Alps-Adria Psychology Conference, October 2-4, 2008, Ljubljana, Slovenia
