Note. Two-Biological = Two-Biological-Parent. Within household structure and gender columns, proportions in the same row with different superscripts differ at p < .05. Moderate = 1–6 conflicts with mothers, 1–3 conflicts with fathers, and 1–7 conflicts with parents. High = 7 or more conflicts with mothers, 4 or more conflicts with fathers, and 8 or more conflicts with parents.
