Article Abstract:
Studies done on intergenerational transmission of marital functioning in a sample of 60 newlywed couples by collecting a) retrospective reports of conflict and divorce in spouses' family of origin, b) data on demographic variables and interactional processes likely to increase risk for adverse marital outcomes, and c) the success or failure of the marriage 4 years later is reported. Results reveal the significance of negative interpersonal processes as mediators in the intergenerational transmission of relationship functioning.
