Assessments of marital interaction during conflict resolution obtained when children were five-years-old predicted teachers' ratings of children's internalizing and externalizing behaviors when the children were eight-years-old. In particular, the "Mutually Hostile" marital interaction pattern correlated with later marital dissolution and predicted externalizing behavior patterns in children, whereas the "Husband Angry and Withdrawn" pattern predicted child internalizing behaviors.
