title: Parent Problem Checklist: measure of parent conflict.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of the present study was to validate the psychometric properties of the Parent Problem Checklist (PPC), and to examine the contribution of conflict specific to child-rearing to the prediction of child problems.
  
  
  METHODS
  The study examined the relationship between marital conflict, parenting conflict and emotional and behavioural problems in children aged 2-16 years, in evaluating the psychometric properties of the PPC in a sample of 200 parents.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Analysis of the PPC indicated good reliability and validity. Findings support the hypothesis that parenting conflict influences children's outcomes more than either general marital conflict or marital satisfaction.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There are a number of implications for clinical practice and understanding the role of parenting conflict in the development of child difficulty.
