Publication Type: Poster Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Little systematic study has examined the intergenerational consequences of growing up in a community that has experienced protracted sectarian conflict. The current study addresses this gap by examining the relationship between mother’s childhood exposure to political violence and her current mental health. We also explore the transgenerational nature of this relationship by investigating the impact of mother’s childhood exposure to political violence on the current mental status of her child. This is all accomplished within the context of the social identity model of stress which uses social identity as a framework for understanding the basis of different coping responses to stress within societies such as Northern Ireland that have experienced intergroup conflict. Interviews were conducted with 700 mother-child dyads in Belfast. Structural equation modelling was used to examine the relations between the impact of the troubles on mothers’ current mental health and her child’s mental health. Mothers’ social identity is also examined as moderating variable in the link between the impact of the troubles and mothers’ mental health as measured by the GHQ. Results confirm the impact of the troubles continues to affect mothers’ mental health and it is associated with her child’s mental health suggesting transgenerational effects of sectarian conflict. Mothers’ social identity moderated the links between the impact of the troubles and her mental health with differences between Catholics and Protestants providing support for the social identity model of stress.
