2 studies were conducted to illustrate how measuring a specific aspect of marriage, namely, child-rearing disagreements, provides a better understanding of the link between marriage and boys' behavior. In Study 1, 200 mothers of 3-year-old boys completed unstandardized measures of marital functioning and child behavior. An index of child-rearing disagreements: (1) correlated with a greater variety of behavior problems than nonchild disagreements, and (2) improved upon the prediction of behavior problems after accounting for nonchild disagreements as well as after accounting for boys' exposure to marital conflict. In Study 2, 87 mothers with 4-6-year-old sons completed the index of child-rearing disagreements used in Study 1 as well as standard measures of marital functioning and child behavior. Child-rearing disagreements: (1) predicted a greater variety of behavior problems than global marital adjustment, and (2) improved upon the prediction of internalizing problems after controlling for global marital adjustment as well as after controlling for boys' exposure to marital conflict.
开展了两项研究，以说明测量婚姻的一个特定方面，即育儿分歧，如何能更好地理解婚姻与男孩行为之间的联系。在研究1中，200名3岁男孩的母亲完成了婚姻功能和儿童行为的非标准化测量。育儿分歧指数：（1）与比非育儿分歧更多样化的行为问题相关，（2）在考虑了非育儿分歧以及男孩暴露于婚姻冲突之后，对行为问题的预测有所改善。在研究2中，87名有4至6岁儿子的母亲完成了研究1中使用的育儿分歧指数以及婚姻功能和儿童行为的标准化测量。育儿分歧：（1）比整体婚姻调适预测出更多样化的行为问题，（2）在控制了整体婚姻调适以及男孩暴露于婚姻冲突之后，对内化问题的预测有所改善。
