Article Abstract:

Dual-income parents with an oldest child 18-60 months of age were tested on the Child-Rearing Disagreements Scale, the Child Behavior Checklist and the Verbal Aggression subscale of the conflicts and Problem-Solving Scale. Verbal aggression did not moderate the link between child-related disagreements and child-behavior problems for either mothers or for fathers.
