The present study examined the association between a hostile family environment and children's perceptions of social support from family and nonfamily members. Although there is research to document the buffering effects of social support, little is known about the direct influence of a hostile family on children's perceptions of social support or factors that may moderate this relationship. Thus, children's coping skills and cognitive ability were also investigated as potential moderators. The sample consisted of 118 two-parent families with a child aged 9--10 (n = 51 girls; n = 67 boys). Parents and children each reported on levels of marital conflict/violence and harsh parenting. Children's coping skills were measured using both situational and dispositional coping questionnaires. Correlation analyses partially supported the predicted negative relationship between perceptions of social support and a hostile family environment, but only for support from fathers and friends. Regression analyses found that for girls in highly hostile families, higher cognitive ability, greater use of situational active and dispositional avoidant skills were buffers for perceived support from fathers and friends. For boys from highly hostile families, greater use of situational active coping skills was a vulnerability factor for perceived support from teachers. The findings of the present study suggest that children's own characteristics, specifically their cognitive ability and coping strategies, are important protective factors that can ultimately lessen the impact of a hostile family environment.
