本文使用的数据从全国青年纵向调查研究的问题:孩子们更好的时候,他们留在双亲家庭的特点是婚姻冲突,还是他们更好的时候,他们的父母解除他们的婚姻关系我发现,父母的婚姻冲突和婚姻破裂增加6-14岁的儿童(n = 1,640)的后期焦虑和抑郁/退缩。我还发现了显著的相互作用:留在高冲突环境中的儿童通常表现出较低的幸福感水平比经历过高水平的父母冲突,但父母离婚或分居的儿童。这些结果支持的可能性,婚姻破裂后,高冲突,实际上可能会改善情绪幸福的儿童相对于一个高冲突的家庭地位。
This article uses data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of youth to examine the question: Are children better off when they remain in two-parent families characterized by marital conflict, or are they better off when their parents dissolve their marital relationship I find that both parental marital conflict and marital disruption increase the later anxiety and depression/withdrawal of children aged 6-14 (n = 1,640). I also find significant interactions: Children remaining in high conflict environments generally exhibit lower levels of well-being than children who have experienced high levels of parental conflict but whose parents divorce or separate. These results support the possibility that marital disruption following high conflict, may actually improve the emotional well-being of children relative to a high conflict family status.
