Effects of Residential Instability on Head Start Children and Their Relationships with Older Siblings: Influences of Child Emotionality and Conflict between Family Members.

Stoneman, Zolinda; Brody, Gene H.; Churchill, Susan L.; Winn, Laura L.

Child Development, v70 n5 p1246-62 Sep-Oct 1999

Examined influence of residential dislocations on child behavior problems, depression, peer competence, cognitive competence, and quality of sibling relationships among Head Start children and their older siblings. Found that child emotionality moderated the effects of residential mobility. Caregiver conflict was a less powerful moderator. Residential instability compromised the warmth/harmony of the sibling relationship. (Author/KB)
