“…A number of studies using data from diverse samples have demonstrated that it is actually the quality of the predivorce (e.g., Booth & Amato, 2001 ; Radetzki et al, 2021 ; Videon, 2002 ) or postdivorce family environment (e.g., Avci et al, 2021 ; Harper & Fine, 2006 ; Lamela et al, 2016 ; Weaver & Schofield, 2015 ; Whiteside & Becker, 2000 ) that primarily accounts for the great variability in children’s adjustment rather than the parental legal divorce per se (Emery, 1982 , 2011 ; Kelly & Emery, 2003 ; Kristjansson et al, 2009 ). Moreover, studies also have made significant progress in examining the association between family environment and child adjustment trajectories across the entire parental divorce process (i.e., before, during, and after the legal marital dissolution) by employing more advanced statistical methods such as growth mixture modeling, growth-curve models, and pooled-time series models and identifying the implicated moderating and mediating mechanisms (Kim, 2011 ; O’Hara et al, 2021 ; O'Hara et al, 2019a , 2019b ; Sorek, 2020 ; Strohschein, 2005 ; Sun, 2001 ; Sun & Li, 2002 , 2011 ; Xerxa et al, 2020 ).…”
