Hostility, Hostile Detachment, and Conflict Engagement in Marriages: Effects on Child and Family Functioning.
Katz, Lynn Fainsilber; Woodin, Erica M.
Child Development, v73 n2 p636-51 Mar-Apr 2002
Examined relations between patterns of marital communication, child adjustment, and family functioning. Subjects were couples observed to be hostile, hostile- withdrawn, or engaged, and having a 4- or 5-year-old child. Found that families in which couples were hostile-detached showed the most negative outcomes. Marital typology accounted for significant variance in child outcome after controlling for marital violence and marital satisfaction. (Author/KB)
