چکیده

This study examines the literature on children's overall adjustment to divorce. The family's role in facilitating overall competence, the effect divorce can have on such development, and suggestions for mediating the negative impact of divorce on the child's adjustment level are explored. In order to determine which dimensions of family dynamics are most associated with child socio-emotional adjustment, data from the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), the McMaster Family Assessment Device (FAD), and the Divorce Adjustment Inventory (DAI) were collected and analyzed. Three family subscales of the FAD: Roles, Behavior Control, and Affective Involvement; and two risk factors from the DAI: Child's Reaction and Insight Into the Divorce and Conflict, were found to be significant. Implications are drawn for programs that address the needs of divorcing parents and help to mediate the effects of divorce on their children.
