Perceptions of Personal and Familial Adjustment by Children from Intact, Single-Parent, and Reconstituted Families.

Nunn, Gerald D.; And Others

Psychology in the Schools, v20 n2 p166-74 Apr 1983

Investigated children's (N=566) personal and familial adjustment as a function of familial configuration and gender. The results revealed less positive adjustment among children from divorced families. Males appeared to be favorably affected within the single-parent configuration, while females were more favorably adjusted within the reconstituted family. (Author/JAC)
