Differences between high school students from intact and divorced families
Article Abstract:
High school students from divorced families differ very little from students from intact families, indicating that children of divorce are as well-adjusted as those whose parents are still together. Some 110 high school students from divorced and intact families were asked to respond to questionnaires to find out if there are differences between them. Among the areas that the questionnaires explored were beliefs about divorce, family environment, interparental conflict and self-depiction. Some of the significant correlations indicate that family environment is the factor behind children's adjustment, not the process of divorce.
