Howes, Paul; Markman, Howard J.
Child Development, v60 n5 p1044-51 Oct 1989
Premarital and postbirth indices of parent's marital relationship were related to child functioning. For mothers, high satisfaction, low conflict, and high communication quality were related to child security of attachment and dependency. For fathers, higher levels of premarital conflict and lower levels of communication quality were positively related to dependency. (RH)
