Coparenting, Family Interactions, and Competence among African American Youths.
Brody, Gene H.; Flor, Douglas L.
New Directions for Child Development, v74 p77-91 Win 1996
Traced pathways between perceived coparenting support and child-rearing conflict, family interaction quality, and child self-regulation, academic competence, and behavior problems in families of 9- to 12-year-old African-Americans. Found that husbands' perception of coparental support was linked to family interaction quality; wives' perception of coparental support was linked to youth self-regulation. Youth self-regulation mediated between family processes and youth competence. (Author)
