The role of marital discord and parenting in relations between parental problem drinking and child adjustment
Article Abstract:
The role of marital conflict, in addition to parenting, in relations between parental problem drinking and child internalizing and externalizing problems are examined. Models tests reveal that problem drinking is associated with greater marital conflict, and that marital conflict is related to ineffective parenting which is in turn related to poorer child adjustment.
