Background of the Study: Parental conflict in the presence of children is widely recognized as a critical factor influencing disruptive behavior in children. This study aimed to explore the broader effects of parental conflict witnessed by children, specifically focusing on its impact on children's perceptions of social support, parental support, and experiences of psychological control.

Method: A total of 105 children (mean age = 11.17 years, SD = 1.24) participated in the research, providing self-reported data through structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed using AMOS software from IBM SPSS to ensure robust statistical analysis.

Results: As hypothesized, the findings revealed that parental conflict, when observed by children, significantly affects their social relationships and perceptions of parenting, particularly in terms of parental support and control. Notably, the conflict altered the children's social network dynamics, potentially disrupting their sense of security and stability. However, the study found no significant gender differences in how boys and girls are affected by parental conflict, suggesting that its impact may be universally experienced across genders.

Conclusion: These results highlight the importance of addressing family conflict to mitigate its potential negative effects on child development.
