This article uses data from the 1987-88 National Survey of Families and Households to examine whether conflict between parents can explain why children in stepfather households are doing worse than children in original, two-parent households and no better than children in single-mother households. Two types of conflict are examined: intrahousehold conflict (conflict between parents who reside in the same household) and interhousehold conflict (coI1J?ict be/ween biological parents who reside in separate households!. Children in stepfather households risk being exposed to both forms of conflict and, therefore, may be ex posed to higher overall levels of conflict than other children. Because of their post experiences, they also may be more sensitive to parental conflict than other children. Our results indicate that this is not the case. Regardless of the source of conflict and how it is measured, our results suggest that parental conflict does not account for the fewer levels of well-being among children in stepfather households relative to their children.
