TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - Conflict in the home environment of adolescents from divorced families: A longitudinal analysis JO - Journal of family violence A1 - Forehand, Rex A1 - Thomas, Amanda McCombs SP - 73 EP - 84 VL - 7 IS - 2 N2 - The purpose of this study was to examine conflict in the home environment of adolescents from divorced families across a 3-year period. Adolescents from intact (106) and mother-custody divorced (60) families participated. Interparental conflict and parent-adolescent relations were assessed. Results indicated that adolescents from divorced families did not experience more conflictual home environments than those from intact families. In fact, interparental relations after the first year and parent-adolescent relations in general appeared to be less conflictual in divorced families. Limitations and implications of the findings are discussed.
