Effects of parental separation and reentry into union on the emotional well-being of children
1988
Baydar, N.
Although researchers in family sociology and clinical psychology generally hold the view that family transitions are detrimental to children's well-being, many empirical sociological studies do not support this view. In the present study, data from the two waves of the National Survey of Children are used to investigate the impact of family transitions on changes in emotional and behavioral problems as reported by the mothers. The results show that there are sex-differentials in the changes in emotional well-being that can be attributed to family transitions. The results also indicate that an increase in emotional and behavioral problems can be attributed to remarriage but not divorce.
