Note. Numbers before the slash are within-person correlations, which are correlation coefficients among fathers’ (above diagonal) and mothers’ (below diagonal) scores. Numbers after the slash are cross-person correlations: correlation coefficients for fathers’ marital conflict behaviors and mothers’ parenting practices are presented below the diagonal, and coefficients for mothers’ marital conflict behaviors and fathers’ parenting practices are presented above the diagonal. MC = marital conflict; PP = parenting practice at Time 1 (PP1) or Time 2 (PP2).
