Family Relationships and Children's Emotional Adjustment as Correlates of Maternal and Paternal Differential Treatment: A Replication with Toddler and Preschool Siblings.
Volling, Brenda L.; Elins, Julie L.
Child Development, v69 n6 p1640-56 Dec 1998
Examined patterns of differential parental treatment, child outcomes, and family functioning with 60 families with toddler and preschool siblings. Found that congruence in mothers' and fathers' reports of differential treatment was most frequent. Reports of differential enjoyment were related to differential favoritism, whereas reports of differential discipline were not. Incongruent patterns of differential favoritism were associated with marital distress. (KB/Author)
