1.	Marital Disruption and Accidents/Injuries among Children Working Paper, Department of Sociology, The Ohio State University, June 2000 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Accidents; Child Health; Divorce; Economic Changes/Recession; Fathers, Absence; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Household Composition; Injuries; Marital Disruption; Parenting Skills/Styles Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Also presented: Los Angeles, CA, Population Association of American Meetings, March 23-25, 2000. A vast literature has examined the effects of marital disruption on child well-being, but medically attended childhood accidents/injuries has not been considered an outcome. This paper investigates this association as well as possible intervening pathways using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). Findings reveal that marital disruption decreases girls' accidents/injuries. Boys are not directly affected. For boys, the positive relationship between marital disruption and accidents/injuries is mediated by maternal parenting practices, namely, use of discipline and display of approval.

A vast literature has examined the effects of marital disruption on child well-being, however medically attended childhood accidents/injuries have not been considered as an outcome. This article investigates this association as well as possible intervening pathways using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-linked mother-child file. Findings reveal that marital disruption decreases girls' accidents/injuries. Boys are not directly affected. Parenting practices, childhood aggression, and mprecipitous drops in household income appear to do little to the relationship between marital disruption and childhood accidents/injuries for boys. For girls, however, the potential benefits of a marital disruption are suppressed until considering mother's use of discipline and household income decline. Results are discussed in terms of stress theory and the effect of mother-daughter versus mother-son dynamics following marital disruption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

3.	Surprising Effects of Marital Conflict and Disruption on Children's Health Presented: Washington, DC, American Sociological Association Meetings, August 2000 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Child Health; Divorce; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Marital Conflict Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper investigates the effect of inconsistency between parental marital conflict and disruption on children's health using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). Two alternative hypotheses, the stress vulnerable hypothesis and the stress resistant hypothesis, provide the basis for the analysis. The results support the stress resistant hypothesis, and, therefore, challenge the widespread notion that marital conflict and disruption have only adverse effects for children. We find that children's health is enhanced when minimal marital conflict preceded disruption and when marital conflict is high but there is no disruption. The positive effects are for boys only. There are no significant effects for girls.

This article investigates the effect of inconsistency between parental marital conflict and disruption on children's health. Inconsistent situations arise when minimal marital conflict precedes disruption or when marital conflict is high but there is no disruption. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, two alternative hypotheses, the stress vulnerable hypothesis and the stress resistant hypothesis, are tested. The latter hypothesis is based on recent evidence in the medical field. The results support the stress resistant hypothesis in that boys' health is enhanced when there is inconsistency between marital conflict and disruption. There are no significant effects for girls. The widespread notion that marital conflict and disruption have only adverse effects for children is challenged by the findings in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
