“…Although some researchers equate the event of divorce with high degrees of marital conflict (e.g., Tallman, Gray, Kullberg, & Henderson, 1999), a second limitation of the current study is the assessment of parental divorce rather than parental marital conflict. Further research may focus on the extent to which the degree of conflict between parents is related to attitudes toward the adult sibling relationship, regardless of the occurrence of parental divorce.…”

Two theoretical approaches make opposite predictions concerning the effects of parental divorce on sibling relationship quality. From a social learning perspective, via modeling the individual learns negative patterns of interpersonal relations through the experience of parental conflict and divorce, which negatively affects relationship quality throughout the life span. A social support approach argues that sibling relationships may serve as a buffer to shield the individual from negative interactions between parents, perhaps resulting in closer, more intimate sibling relationships. Two hundred sixty-four college students described one of their sibling relationships using the Lifespan Sibling Relationship Scale (LSRS; Riggio, 2000), a standardized measure of attitudes toward the sibling in childhood and adulthood. Results indicated that young adults who experienced parental divorce during later childhood or adolescence experienced significantly fewer positive feelings toward the sibling in adulthood, and recalled fewer positive feelings, beliefs, and behaviors toward the sibling in childhood compared to those who experienced parental divorce earlier in childhood and young adults from married families.

“…II est possible que le fait de vivre quotidiennement ensemble favorise le developpement plus rapide des probl&mes de communication et d'insatisfaction conjugale. Par ailleurs, certaines Etudes sugg^rent que les partenaires amoureux pourraient, tres tot dans la relation, s'influencer mutuellement (Tallman & al., 1999). Ainsi, la continuite de la qualite de la relation conjugale des parents demanderait un examen attentif des vecus familiaux des deux conjoints.…”

“…Une premiere serie de recherches retrospectives sur le lien entre la qualite des relations a I'adolescence et a I'age adulte examine l'influence de la quality des relations conjugales des parents a I'adolescence sur la qualite des relations interpersonnelles a I'age adulte. Ces Etudes, portant sur plus de 300 jeunes adultes, montrent que plus il y a de conflits conjugaux et moins les parents sont satisfaits de leur relation de couple a I'adolescence, moins les enfants devenus adultes sont satisfaits de leurs propres relations conjugales (Halford, Sanders & Behrens, 2000;Tallman, Gray, Kullberg & Henderson, 1999). Ces Etudes retrospectives vont dans le sens de la th^orie de l'apprentissage social qui suggere que les enfants devenus adultes ont tendance a reproduire dans leurs propres relations intimes ce qu'ils ont observe au sein de leur famille d'origine.…”

ResumeGinquante sept families avec adolescentes participent a une ^tude portant sur le lien entre, d'une part, la qualite des relations familiales et amicales a l'adolescence et, d'autre part, la quality des relations familiales, amicales et amoureuses des adolescentes 6valu6es 7 ans plus tard. Des mesures observationnelles et des questionnaires sont utilises pour examiner les liens entre ces variables. Des analyses de regression indiquent que la satisfaction conjugale de la m&re, ses conflits conjugaux et la qualite de la relation que la mfere entretient avec sa fille a l'adolescence sont relics a la satisfaction amoureuse de la fille k l'age adulte. Par ailleurs, seules les variables parentales sont reli&s a la quality des relations amicales k l'age adulte. Gette ^tude met en lumifere l'importance de la quality des relations familiales a l'adolescence dans la prediction de la quality des relations interpersonnelles a l'age adulte. AbstractFifty-seven families with adolescent children participated in a study of a) the quality of family and friendship relationships in adolescence, and b) the quality of family, friendship, and romantic relationships of adolescents 7 years later. Observation measures and self-report questionnaires were used to examine the variables. Regression analyses showed that mothers' marital satisfaction, conjugal conflict, and quality of mother-daughter relationship in adolescence predicted daughters' satisfaction with romantic relationships in adulthood. However, only the parental variables during adolescence predicted the quality of friendship relationships in adulthood. This study highlighted the contribution that quality of family relationships in adolescence makes to the quality of interpersonal relationships in adulthood.

“…Plenty of research has documented differences in relationship quality, whether it is with family members (Zill et al, 1993) or with romantic partners (Tallman, Gray, Kullberg, & Henderson, 1999), among children who have experienced parental divorce, regardless of at what age they experienced parental divorce. Thus, for children of divorce, marital status during adulthood might be an important proxy to capture the long-term consequences associated with parental divorce.…”
