Individual and Contextual Correlates of Marital Change across the Transition to Parenthood.

Levy-Schiff, Rachel

Developmental Psychology, v30 n4 p591-601 Jul 1994

Examined multiple prenatal antecedents and postnatal correlates of change in marital adjustment and satisfaction in 102 couples from diverse sociocultural backgrounds. Fathers' caregiving, play, and affiliative behaviors were the most powerful, positive predictors for adjustment in both spouses. Additional positive predictors for women were personality traits of impulse control and non-Western ethnicity. (MDM)
