Abstract
This study examined the individual, relative, and interactive influenc es of parental divorce and interparental conflict on adolescent functi oning across 4 years. Participants were 227 young adolescents, their m others, and their social studies teachers. Parental divorce, current i nterparental conflict, and the interaction of the two variables predic ted multiple areas of functioning in multiple years. Although divorce is associated with adolescent functioning, the current level of interp arental conflict cannot be ignored.
