Family conflict and adolescent adjustment in intact, divorced, and blended families. Borrine, M. L., Handal, P. J., Brown, N. Y., & Searight, H. R. Journal of consulting and clinical psychology, 59(5):753–5, USA, 1991. abstract bibtex This study examined two contrasting views of how parental marital status relates to the long-term adjustment of children. The physical wholeness position views divorce and subsequent remarriage and the blending of families as salient explanatory variables that adversely affect children's later adjustment through the physical dissolution of the nuclear family; the psychological wholeness position views perceived current family conflict as the critical variable that influences adjustment, regardless of parental marital status. Results of analyses on White adolescents (N = 917) fail to support the physical wholeness position; rather, results support the psychological wholeness position. Adolescents' adjustment was related to level of perceived family conflict.
