Trajectories of internalizing, externalizing, and grades for children who have and have not experienced their parents' divorce or separation

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to examine whether the occurrence and timing of parental separation or divorce was related to trajectories of academic grades and mother- and teacher-reported internalizing and externalizing problems. Results suggest that early parental divorce/separation is more negatively related to trajectories of internalizing and externalizing problems than is later divorce/separation, whereas later divorce/separation is more negatively related to grades.

The development of attitudes about physical punishment: an 8-year longitudinal study

Article Abstract:

Results of a study on attitudes regarding corporal punishment are presented, comparing answers provided by kindergarten-age children to answers supplied by those same children now entering 6th and 8th grades. Findings showed that adolescents who had been spanked as children viewed corporal punishment more favorably as a method of discipline, but no correlation was found for those suspected of being abused as children.
