Study Notes
Divorce Impact on Children
- One million children experience divorce annually.
- Divorce is linked to lower academic performance, increased behavioral problems, and heightened emotional distress in children.
- This is likely due to prolonged conflict and instability (e.g., moving, changing custody arrangements, school transitions).
- In high-conflict homes, divorce may be better for children.
- Children experiencing divorce may have a greater risk of substance abuse and mental health issues.
Death of a Parent vs. Divorce
- Children who lose a parent to death tend to adjust better than those experiencing divorce.
- This difference is attributed to: less exposure to conflict, and
- better mental health in the bereaved parent.
- Children experiencing the death of a parent may adjust better than those experiencing divorce.
- Significant findings support the effectiveness of internet-based programs for both populations.
