“…The Bulgarian students in the study reported somatic symptoms, headaches, hot and cold flashes, depression, and suicidal ideation. The differences were significant, and the interpretation of the results was that the effects of divorce should not be generalized across all cultures (Christopoulos, 2001). This information underscores the incomplete nature of research findings, particularly from various cultures, and highlights the need for additional research.…”

“…Cultural. Cultural differences also have an influence on the impact of divorce on children (Bojuwoye, & Akpan, 2009;Cartwright, 2006;Christopoulos, 2001;Kim, & Tasker, 2013). For example, Lau (2007) found that most kids in China did not take parental divorce as personal as children from western countries.…”

“…Research has emphasized that the effects of divorce may not be able to be generalized across cultures (Bojuwoye, & Akpan, 2009;Cartwright, 2006;Christopoulos, 2001;Kim, & Tasker, 2013). When Bulgarian students were compared with students from the United States, researchers found that there were more harmful effects from divorce in Bulgaria than the United States (Christopoulos, 2001). One reason for this could be that Bulgarians have a more conservative view of marriage.…”

Due to the current high rates of divorce, many young adults have experienced the effects of parental divorce. Although a variety of research has investigated both the positive and negative implications of divorce for individuals, relatively little research has looked at the relationship effects of parental divorce. Yet divorce likely influences both parent-child relationships (especially with a non-custodial parent) and young adult romantic relationships. The purpose of this study was to explore more fully how parental divorce affects young adult relationships by investigating the relationship between divorce and parent-child relationship quality, perceived comfort within close relationships (i.e., attachment), romantic relationship satisfaction, and individual distress (depression, anxiety, and stress). Data analysis revealed that those who experience parental divorce are more likely to have lower parental regard, lower relationship satisfaction and they are 2.5 times more likely to experience relationship distress. It is hoped that the results of this study can help identify specific intervention points for clinicians who work with individuals, couples, and families where divorce has occurred.

Parental divorce, as one of the adverse childhood experiences, will have a negative influence on the mental health of adolescents. This study conducted a meta-analysis of depressive symptoms in children from parental divorce and adolescence and early adulthood. Through a series of meta-analysis to find the correlation between parental divorce and adolescent depression and tested the risk of publication bias. Two subgroup analyses are further studied and evaluated. A total of 9 studies in this trial were included in the meta-analysis (N=2089), and there was a significant correlation between parental divorce and children's depression (SMD=0.26, 95% CI=0.12, 0.40). Adolescent women report more depressive symptoms than men. Based on the experimental results, this study speculates the factors that cause depression in adolescents and early adults due to parental divorce. Depression reports that rely on self-reports is restrictive. This finding supports the theory that parental divorce will produce negative depression for their children. Therefore, children with divorced parents should pay more attention to improving their mental health.
