Coparenting and Triadic Interactions during Infancy: The Roles of Marital Distress and Child Gender.
McHale, James P.
Developmental Psychology, v31 n6 p985-96 Nov 1995
Investigated the interactions of married couples at play with infant sons and daughters. Found that maritally distressed parents of boys more commonly displayed hostile-competitive coparenting behavior, whereas distressed parents of girls were more likely to show discrepant levels of parenting involvement. Findings also indicate the importance of conceptualizing coparenting as a construct separable from marital distress. (HTH)
