Trust Issues Among Children of Divorce 1

چکیده
In this study relationships between divorce and trust variables were examined. Specifically, marital status (married, divorced) was compared against degree of trust in government, technology, romantic relationships, family, and school. The study showed statistical significance (p < .05) in terms of the relationship between marital status and romantic relationships. However, no other outcomes were significant (all p > .05). These findings support the conclusion that children’s trust issues may be important considerations when dealing with the erosion of parental relationships. The findings also suggest that trust issues that may develop from parental divorce do not appear to generalize to other non-romantic-relationship domains.
