Parental Divorce and Child Well-Being: Are There Lasting Effects? Presented: San Francisco, CA, Population Association of America Meetings, 1995 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Children, Well-Being; Divorce; Family Circumstances, Changes in; Family Studies; Marital Dissolution Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The aim of the paper is to examine whether deleterious effects of parental divorce on child well-being abate after an initial period of adjustment. Critical transitions that occur in adolescence may trigger conflicts among older children of divorce. The study examines the trajectories of children in disrupted families over time using longitudinal data from the 1986, 1988, 1990, and 1992 child interviews of the NLSY-CS. The multivariate findings suggest that the effects of divorce on measures of child well-being no longer reach statistical significance 4- and 6-years post-disruption. |
