This study compared family relationships across three groups of adolescents: a) those with unipolar depressive disorders (n = 82); b) those with subdiagnostic depressive symptoms (n = 78); and c) those without emotional or behavioral difficulties (n = 83). Results based on multi-source, multimethod constructs indicated that depressed adolescents, as well as those with subdiagnostic symptomatology, experience less supportive and more conflictual relationships with each of their parents than do healthy adolescents. These findings are notable in demonstrating that adverse fatheradolescent relationships are associated with depressive symptomatology in much the same way as mother-adolescent relationships. As well, they add to the emerging evidence that adolescents with subdiagnostic symptoms experience difficulties in social relationships similar to those experienced by adolescents with depressive disorder.The role of family relationships and interactional processes as factors relevant to child and adolescent depression has received increasing attention over the last decade (Sheeber, Hops, & Davis, 2001). The research to date suggests that adverse family environments characterized by the absence of warm and supportive interactions and, conversely, by elevated levels of conflictual and critical interactions are associated with depressive symptomatology and disorder (Sheeber et al., 2001). These findings are consistent with evidence that chronic interpersonal stress is negatively associated with children's emotional well-being (Compas, Grant, & Ey, 1994;Rudolph, Hammen, Burge, Lindberg, Herzberg, & Daley, 2000). It is important to note in this regard, that although adolescents spend increasing amounts of time with peers outside of the home, available evidence suggests that the family environment retains its salience and in fact, family relations appear to be more reliably associated with adolescent depressive symptomatology than are peer relations (Barrera & Garrison-Jones, 1992;McFarlane, Bellissimo, Norman, & Lange, 1994;Stice, Ragan, & Randall, 2004).The primary objective of this study, therefore, was to extend our understanding of family processes associated with adolescent depression by conducting a rigorous examination comparing the nature of mother-adolescent and father-adolescent relationships and interactional processes across three groups of adolescents: (a) those who met diagnostic criteria for unipolar depressive disorder (Depressed); (b) those with subdiagnostic levels of Correspondence concerning this article, including reprints, should be addressed to Lisa Sheeber, Ph.D., Oregon Research Institute, 1715 Franklin Blvd, Eugene, Oregon 97403.

“…Cronbach's coefficient alphas for the three scales in this sample of children were .89, .77, and .77, respectively. The 56-item CRPBI (which was adopted from the original questionnaire of 260 questions) has been found highly reliable and has a factor structure similar to the original measure (Margolies & Weintraub, 1977).…”

Parenting interventions for substance-abusing adults have been broadly based on two approaches, one emphasizing parental control as a means to managing children's behavior and the second emphasizing parental warmth and sensitivity as means to fostering children's psychological development. In this investigation, we examined associations of parental control and parental warmth, respectively, with children's behavioral and psychological adjustment in a sample of 98 women enrolled in methadone maintenance and their school-aged and adolescent children. Using collateral data collected during the baseline phase of a randomized clinical trial (Luthar, S. S., Suchman, N. E., & Altomare, M. [in press]. Relational Psychotherapy Mothers Group: A randomized clinical trial for substance abusing mothers [in preparation]), we tested predictions that (a) parental control would be more strongly associated with children's behavioral adjustment and (b) parental warmth would be more strongly associated with children's psychological adjustment. Both predictions were generally confirmed, although some crossover among parenting and child dimensions was also evident. Results support the theoretical stance that parental limit setting and autonomy support, as well as nurturance and involvement, are important factors, respectively, in children's behavioral and psychological adjustment.

“…Obtaining Indices of Children's Appraisals of the Marriage Although numerous measures have been developed to assess children's perceptions of family relationships (e.g., parent-child relationship, Margolies & Weintraub, 1977;sibling relationship, Fuhrman & Buhrmester, 1985) and family climate (Moos & Moos, 1981), attempts to assess the child's perspective on their parents' marriage have been rare and have focused on perceptions of interparental conflict. Different approaches to assessing such perceptions are briefly described.…”

This article examines aspects of the marital relationship and its assessment relevant to scholars of child development. The case for attending to marriage in child research is outlined before reviewing what is known about the construct of marital quality, behavior, emotional responding, and cognition in marriage. Practical recommendations are made for assessing each of these areas before arguing that the child's perspective of the marriage is critical for understanding children's behavior. Several limitations and promises of marital research for understanding children are also discussed. INTRODUCTIONSince its inception in the 1920s, empirical research on marriage has yielded a great deal of information. However, this information is scattered across a variety of disparate sources, making it difficult for researchers outside of the marital field to access the picture of marriage painted by scientific research. In this article I highlight some aspects of the marital relationship and its assessment that may be useful to scholars of child development. Notwithstanding the importance of disrupted marital relationships for children, the focus is on intact marriages and on the contribution of psychological research to a scientific understanding of marriage.The article is divided into five sections. In the first section I address briefly why child researchers should pay attention to marriage. The second section provides a quick tour of the marital literature that includes discussion of the most frequently studied construct in the marital literature, marital quality, and practical recommendations for selecting a measure of this construct; reviews of what is known about behavior (including affective behavior) and about cognition in marriage; and guidance on how to obtain indices of behavior and cognition in marriage. A critical question for researchers concerns the perspective from which to study marriage, an issue discussed in the third section. The fourth section highlights some further promises and problems of marital research relevant to child research before the main points and limitations of the article are summarized in the concluding section. WHY CONSIDER THE MARITAL RELATIONSHIP WHEN STUDYING CHILDREN?In this section I examine briefly why the marital relationship is important for understanding child development, considering first conceptual and then empirical reasons for its importance. The section concludes by offering a perspective on research relating marital and child functioning that further supports examination of what the marital literature might have to offer child research. Conceptual PerspectivesSeveral theoretical frameworks that have influenced the study of child development recognize the importance of the marital relationship. For example, psychoanalytic theory has viewed marital disruption as affecting the child's sense of security and the development of delinquency. In a similar vein, social learning theory suggests that children learn how to behave in relationships through observing parental interac...
