The present investigation examined the concurrent and longitudinal relations between attributions and negative behavioral interactions in the context of the father‐child dyad. Participants were 177 fathers and their young adolescents recruited from non‐metropolitan counties in the southeast. Results indicated that for children, attributions about their father play a significant role in their negative behavioral interactions with their father both within and across time. Interestingly, father's earlier negative behavioral interactions with their children predicted children's subsequent attributions about their father in the longitudinal analyses. In addition, both attributions and behavioral interactions were highly stable across time for both fathers and children.
