Abstract	The study examined the moderating role of children's affect-biased attention to angry, fearful, and sad adult faces in the link between interparental conflict and children's distinct forms of involvement. Participants included 243 preschool children (M[subscript age] = 4.60 years, 56% female) and their parents from racially (48% African American, 43% White) and socioeconomically (median annual household income = $36,000) diverse backgrounds. Data collection took place in the Northeastern United States (2010-2014). Utilizing a multi-method, multi-informant, longitudinal design, attention away from anger selectively amplified the link between interparental conflict and children's subsequent coercive involvement ([beta] = -0.15). Greater attention to fear potentiated the pathway between interparental conflict and children's later cautious ([beta] = 0.14) and caregiving involvement ([beta] = 0.15). Findings are interpreted in the context of environmental sensitivity models. (As Provided).
