Parental marital conflict and marital change: effects on child, adolescent and young adult developmental outcomes

攻击性和/或犯罪行为、学业成绩和学习成绩差、无法发展社会关系或无法成功地加入劳动大军，都与家庭结构和家庭功能有关。不幸的是，目前的政策知之甚少，因为以前的研究主要涉及临床样本或小人口亚组。这项研究是澳大利亚21年来唯一一项关于婚姻变化对儿童和青少年的发展以及年轻人的长期结果产生影响的前瞻性评估。

Aggressive and/or delinquent behaviour, poor school performance and learning, an inability to develop social relationships or successfully join the workforce have all been related to family structure and family functioning. Unfortunately, current policy is poorly informed as previous studies largely involve clinical samples or small population sub-groups. This study is the only Australian 21 year prospective assessment of the way changes in marriage are impacting on the development of children and adolescents and on the longer term outcomes for young adults.
