Dissolution, Conflict and Children’s Developmental Outcomes - Dave Ribar, Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research
David Ribar discusses how children’s intellectual and behavioural outcomes differ conditional on whether their biological parents dissolved their relationships in high- and low-conflict circumstances. He explores how he utilized data from the 1st through 5th waves of the birth and kindergarten cohorts of the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) to study parental dissolution and conflict are associated with worse outcomes for Australian children, especially among the younger children in the LSAC birth cohort.
