Family Structure and Its Effect on Behavioral and Emotional Problems in Young Adolescents.
Lee, Valerie E.; And Others
Journal of Research on Adolescence, v4 n3 p405-37 1994
Investigated the relationship between school-related emotional and behavioral problems and variation in family structure in a sample of eighth graders. Found that among those who exhibited behavioral problems, such problems were two to four times as likely to occur in single-parent or step-families as in intact families and that gender was also a factor in increased problems.
