Behavior in Public Places: Comparison of Couples Accompanied and Unaccompanied by Children

Rosenblatt, Paul C.

Journal of Marriage and the Family, 36, 4, 750-755, Nov 74

A total of 440 adult couples were observed in eight different kinds of public places. Couples with children were observed to touch, talk, and smile less at one another. But children are disruptive of adult touching and talking, which means that couples with children experience reduced reward levels and less adequate communication. (Author)
