Abstract: This study examines the effects of marital disruption on children's behavior, accounting for variations in postdisruption living arrangements and the effects of parent-child relationships and marital conflict. The study is based on a 1981 national sample of 1,400 children aged 12-16. Disruption was associated with a higher incidence of several behavior problems, negative effects being greatest with multiple marital transitions. The negative effects are lower if the child lives with the same-sex parent following divorce or maintains a good relationship with one or both parents. High, persistent conflict in intact families is also related to behavior problems.

TL;DR: Structural equation modeling demonstrated a good fit of the coercion model as a theoretically based and simplified representation of the relationships, supporting the hypotheses that the parent's acceptance helps prevent the child's behavioral problems and anxiety.

Confirmatory factor structure of anxiety and depression: evidence of item variance across childhood.
TL;DR: Examination of the measurement stability of anxiety and depressive symptoms across time and sex using a large epidemiologic sample of children provides support that covariation between anxiety and depression is not likely the result of measurement overlap.
