Journal of Marriage and the Family, v57 n3 p800-12 Aug 1995

Prospective study examines consequences of marital disruption for children's behavior problems and academic achievement. Results show no statistically significant effects of marital disruption on girls' behavior problems or reading achievement. Negative effects of family disruption on boys' behavior problems are not reduced when prior family characteristics are controlled. (JBJ)
