MAYORGA MUNOZ, CECILIA et al. Relationship between Teen Behavior Problems and Interparental Conflict in Intact and Single-Parent Families. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.1, pp.107-122. ISSN 0121-5469.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v25n1.48705.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the influence of interparental conflict in the emergence of behavior problems in teenagers of intact and single-parent families. An explicative design using mean difference test and MANOVA was used. The sample was comprised of 466 teens from 12 to 16 years old. The variables were measured using the Children's Perception of Interparental Conflict (CPIC) and Youth Self Report (YSR) scales. The results confirmed the association between interparental conflict and behavior problems in their children, and also reveal that, when there is conflict in intact families, a higher frequency of externalizing conduct is produced in these than in single-parent families.

Palavras-chave : behavior problems; teenagers; interparental conflict; intact families; single-parent families.
