“…The result is that attention is almost exclusively focussed on the negative consequences for children of growing up in family types other than the`standard' two-parent family. Glenn and Kramer [23] look in different directions to ®nd an explanation for the effects of marriage instability and thus for growing up in different family types: the absence or failure of the example of the husband role; the inadequate social control by family and neighbourhood; less resistance to a divorce; marriage at a younger age, and growing up under dif®cult economic circumstances. This was a ®rst attempt to systematise the effects, and Amato continues in this direction.…”

Families, or rather parents are in a state of¯ux: sometimes they row a lot, they divorce, they go and live together again and they die. This is why more and more children grow up in family forms other than the nuclear families with their biological fathers and mothers. What, in the long run, is the effect of this on the well-being of adolescents and young adults between 12±30? We have examined intact families that function well, mediocre or badly, one-parent families and stepfamilies after a divorce and one-parent families after being widowed. The data derive from the Dutch longitudinal panel study``Utrecht Study of Adolescent Development'' (USAD). The results of 1772 respondents between 12 and 30 years old are presented from the third wave by the end of 1997. Compared to youngsters of well functioning nuclear families, the youngsters of discordant nuclear families show a worse physical and mental health, their parental ®xation is not so strong, they tend to drink more alcohol, smoke more cigarettes and use more soft drugs. Children of divorced families are notable for their relational behaviour: they enter into relations at an early age, usually they are more sexually experienced and they report more relational problems. Children of widowed one-parent families do well. In other family types girls suffer a little more from the burden of life than boys. It appears that the effects are hardly different when the children leave home. #

“…These authors, indeed, also speak of a slumber effect: when they start entering their own relations and building their own families, the memories of their parents' divorce gain extra relief. There have been various reports on the intergenerational transfer of the chance of divorce [20,21,23,42].…”

“…I ascertain whether the following affect trends in the probability of divorce transmission: race (Bumpass, Martin, and Sweet 1991;Glenn and Kramer 1987;McLanahan and Bumpass 1988), presence of siblings (Mueller and Pope 1977), Catholicism (McLanahan and Bumpass 1988), rural origins (Pope and Mueller 1976), age at marriage (Wolfinger 2003a(Wolfinger , 2005, and gender (Amato 1996;Glenn and Kramer 1987;Kulka and Weingarten 1979). Controlling for gender is especially important because men often fail to report their own divorces (Bumpass, Martin, and Sweet 1991).…”

More Evidence for Trends in the Intergenerational Transmission of Divorce: A Completed Cohort Approach Using Data From the General Social Survey

Many studies have demonstrated that the children of divorce are disproportionately likely to end their own marriages. Wolfinger (1999) showed that the transmission of divorce between generations weakened substantially for General Social Survey (GSS) respondents interviewed between 1973 and1996; Li and Wu (2008) contend that Wolfinger's finding is a methodological artifact of the GSS's lack of marriage duration data. This article presents a completed-cohort approach to studying divorce using the GSS. The results confirm a decline in the probability of divorce transmission that cannot be explained by the right censoring bias alleged by Li and Wu.This finding contributes to an ongoing debate about trends in the negative consequences of parental divorce, as well as demonstrating a useful approach to right-censored phenomena when event history data are not available.
