Children from high-risk environments (e.g., adolescent motherhood, homelessness) are more likely to have social-emotional dysfunction than children from low-risk environments; however, positive parenting may serve as a protective factor.
Purpose: To examine associations between family meal frequency and developmental assets and high-risk behaviors among a national sample of adolescents.
There is some evidence that family routines may influence adolescents' health. Associations between family meal frequency, developmental assets and high-risk behaviors among adolescents across the United States were measured.
Couples experiencing clinical levels of distress likely experience marital arguments. Exercise may attenuate such conflict. The current study examined daily links between exercise and the number and intensity of marital arguments, relationship satisfaction, stress levels, and argument topics.
Physical exercise has the potential to alleviate marital tension; however, less is know about the relationship between exercise and marital tension in couples who are receiving relationship therapy.
Marriages are often characterized by their positive and negative features in terms of whether they elicit feelings of satisfaction and happiness or conflict and negativity.
Married couples may experience tension over the course of marriage. By assessing 355 newlywed couples over 16 years, the study examined the change of marital tension over time and the relationship between marital tension and divorce.
