Child and Adolescent Psychosocial and Emotional Development Family Dynamics and Relationships Child Abuse and Trauma

Abstract

SUMMARY The case for sex differences in children's responses to family stress is considered and findings are reported from a study of 2775 first‐born children aged seven. Information regarding the children's adjustment was obtained from parents, teachers and school physicians. The marital status of parents was assessed by health visitors. The report concludes that marital disharmony may be associated with antisocial and emotional disorders in children of both sexes. Divorce may be more strongly associated with disturbance in boys, but this could be due to social factors rather than to their greater psychological vulnerability.
