• Effects of early parental attitudes, divorce and separation on adult adaptation are reported in 132 young adults followed anterospectively and longitudinally from early infancy (the New York Longitudinal Study). Ratings of child adjustment at home at age 3 and 5 and at school at age 5 derived from repeated interviews. A separate parent interview at age 3 provided 8 clusters of parental attitudes and environmental features. Early adult adaptation ratings were derived from direct subject interviews. Parent conflict, especially regarding child management but including other issues, predicted poor adult adaptation, but separation-divorce without this conflict did not.
