THE INFLUENCE OF PARENTS' MARITAL EMOTIONAL HARMONY ON SCHOOL SUCCESS AND THE BEHAVIOUR OF CHILDREN

Summary/Abstract: ln order to determine the influence of marital harmony on school success and the behavior of children in school, a research has been conducted on 106 married couples in different stages of marital intactness/disturbance. Defined were 16 dimensions of marital harmony according to the presumption that marital relatlonshlps are more harmonious if the partners feel mutual love and respect, if they deem family duties as communal goals and if no forms of abuse exist in the marriage. By means of logistic regression the probability of influence of each of the defined variables of marital harmony on the increase of school success in general and of the grade reflecting behavior in children ofthe examined married couples has been determined. Most predictive were the father's involvement, the understanding of the need to solve all problems together and the tather's love for the mother. The findings are interpreted in accordance with the model - quality parenthood as a "direct environmental influence", and with the model of social support.
