Abstract:
The impact on family dysfunction and child behavior problems of difficult affective temperament in fathers and sons was investigated. In preadolescent sons of both substance-abusing and non-substance-abusing fathers, temperament was found to mediate the relationship between family history of substance abuse and family dysfunction.
