Marital Discord in Intact Families: Sex Differences in Child Adjustment.

Purcell, David W.; Kaslow, Nadine J.

American Journal of Family Therapy, v22 n4 p356-70 Win 1994

Reviews sex differences in child adjustment in intact families. Maladjustment in boys is not more related to marital discord than maladjustment in girls. However, the association between marital discord and adjustment difficulties is stronger in boys than in girls when clinical samples are used, when family members are the only informants, and when interparental aggression is a factor.
