RESUMO

The aim of this study is to investigate how adolescents comprehend and cope with marital conflicts in marriage and separation. Fourty five students of a middle class population of São Paulo, 13-16 years old, have participated of a qualitative research through four Thematic Sociodramas about marital conflicts. The results demonstrate that interparental conflicts are identified as a phenomenon caused by intrinsic and personnel characteristics of the genitors. The adolescents do not identify the inter-relational and dynamic aspects of constructing and maintaining the discords not even the demands of the couples relationship. The first marriage sons and daughters can not identify the dynamics of the marital relationship and conflicts while those from separate/divorce/second marriages discriminate these factors according to the high level of the emotional confrontation observed by them. Among the themes initiated by conflicts, the economic features and educational practices are the usual ones in which the financial aspects permeate all levels of escalation. The parenting, as a mediator of interparental conflicts, and the interference of others (grandmothers, maids, relatives and friends) also increase disagreements. Concerning how they are coping with conflicts, the answers of the participants agree with the adolescents reactions according to the review presented by Cummings and Davies (2002) in which the adjustment of children and adolescent can be observed through their cognitive and emotional processes when they try to alter the stress factor caused by conflicts through problem solution
