title: Marital quality, depression, and inconsistent parenting: relationship with observed mother-child conflict.
abstract: In a study of 47 intact families with two same-sex children, associations among parental depression, marital satisfaction, family conflict, and inconsistent child rearing practices were examined, both between parents and within individual parents. Results are discussed in terms of gender-related differences in family process. The need for further research on father-child interactions is highlighted.
