Which ways of handling adult disagreements do children get to see?
The focus here is couple relationship quality and adolescent prosocial behavior.
Who was studied?
480 students in China, mean age about 13, and one parent per student
Age / stage: Early adolescence
Read with three questions
- How did the authors investigate couple relationship quality and adolescent prosocial behavior?
- Whose report describes the parent, the child and the outcome, and where might those reports differ?
- Which measures came from students and which came from the participating parent?
Keep the limits in view
A model linking couple satisfaction and students’ prosocial reports cannot establish a causal sequence between them.
