HTMLDisruption of parental relationships, current family circumstances and children's psychological adjustment

24 February 2005Using data from the Children and Family Life study, Sarah Wise and Ben Edwards compare 921 children aged 5-13 years living with either a separated parent in a single-parent family, a separated parent in a step/blended family, or both natural parents, on a measure of psychological adjustment. They also explore the extent to which economic, family-process, parental-distress and parental-absence theoretical frameworks explain any negative effects of separation.
