Dimensions of marital conflict and children's social problem-solving skills
Article Abstract:
Marital conflict is negatively linked with children's emotional and behavioral outcomes. In a study it was hypothesized that parents reporting frequent conflict and using aggressive tactics have children who are less effective at social problem solving, and parents reporting less conflict and using reasoning tactics, will have children who are more able to solve social problems. Children's perceptions of marital conflict were also examined. The study provides strong support for proposed underlying processes. Children's perceptions of marital conflict were not found to be linked with their skills in social problem solving.

Emotional expressiveness and neuroticism: Do they predict marital quality?
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to examine the way in which neuroticism and emotional expressiveness relate to perceptions of marital quality. It was found that neuroticism was a strong predictor of both spouses' perceived marital quality, and that the wives' perceived marital quality, unlike that of the husbands, was positively associated with both their own and their husbands' emotional expressiveness.
