Abstract

This study examined the salutary effects of marital conflict resolution on children's behavior problems. The subjects were 487 4th and 6th grade students and their parents. Data were analyzed by multiple regression analyses of the SAS program. Children's problem behaviors were positively correlated with their perception of marital conflict. After intervention, children's perception of the resolution of marital conflict moderated their aggressive or immature behavior. Sex and age differences showed salutary effects of marital conflict resolution on boys' but not girls' behavior problems and on 6th grade students but not 4th grade students.
