reports of child behavior problems and personal distress.
When the analysis was conducted on the entire sample, results indicated that global and to a lesser extent proximal
measures of child behavior problems and personal distress made modest contributions to dysfunctional parenting, with neither child behavior problems or personal distress playing a more important role than the other.
Cummings and Davies cite numerous studies showing how prolonged marital conflict, as opposed to short - term conflict in times of short - term stress, is a very good

of child behavior problems and we observed child prosocial behavior in the home, future studies should include observations of child externalizing problems and interviews of child internalizing problems (e.g., the Berkeley Puppet Interview; Ringoot et al. 2013) to avoid potential response biases based on parents» own psychological difficulties.
