“…Kalter and Rembar (1981) found that while the impact of divorce on boys and girls may differ qualitatively, it does not differ quantitatively, that is, boys and girls suffer a similar quantity of adverse effects on their adjustment. Allison and Furstenberg (1989), looking at the effects of divorce on various measures of well-being in children and young adolescents, found no differences according to gender in the extent of negative effects suffered because of parental divorce.…”

“…Much of the available literature on children of divorce looks at younger children of divorce, to the point of neglecting adolescents (Amato & Keith, 1991a;Kalter, 1990;Kalter & Rembar, 1981). This suggests that this younger age group is considered to be more seriously affected.…”

“…Adolescents were also found to be more consciously troubled by the divorce, perhaps because of their more advanced cognitive development. Kalter and Rembar (1981) studied problems and emotional disturbance in children of divorce. Their study encompassed children aged from 7 to 17.…”

STATEMENT I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis consists of my own original work, and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it at any university for a degree. Signature DateStellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za SUMMARYThe primary aim of this study was to identify factors contributing to the adjustment of adolescents whose parents are divorced. Learning theory and schema theory were evaluated as possible explanations for the variance found in the adjustment of these adolescents. The secondary aim of the study was to research the possibility of attitude to divorce acting as a mediator between the parent-adolescent relationship and adolescent adjustment (a possibility suggested by schema theory). Self-report questionnaires were completed by first year Psychology and Economics students at Stellenbosch University.293 students completed the questionnaires, but as only 39 of these students came from divorced families, 38 of the data sets from students with married parents were randomly Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za

“…Deux hypothèses se présentent: la première (Hetherington, 1966(Hetherington, , 1972Gardner, 1977) soutient que plus l'enfant est jeune, plus il souffrira à court et à long terme du divorce. D'autre part, la deuxième hypothèse (Kalter et Rembar, 1981 ;McDermott, 1970 ;Neubauer, 1960 ;Westman, 1972) fait état d'un stage critique du développement, le plus souvent la période oedipienne (3 à 6 ans), où l'enfant serait plus vulnérable psychologiquement.…”

Une enquête auprès d'un échantillon représentatif de 5539 adolescents francophones de l'Ile de Montréal (du Secondaire I au Collégial II) révèle la présence de 446 enfants de parents divorcés (9,82%) et de 330 orphelins (7,27%). Des comparaisons simples suivies d'une comparaison contrôlée de ces deux groupes avec les adolescents vivant avec leurs deux parents montrent un patron régulier où ce sont les enfants du divorce qui se perçoivent comme les plus désavantagés, suivis des orphelins qui occupent une position intermédiaire. Suit une analyse de l'effet de la durée du divorce, de l'âge au moment du divorce et du sexe du parent gardien. Enfin est discuté le fait d'un plus grand nombre de filles dans les familles divorcées.Research conducted on a sample of 5,539 francophone adolescents of the island of Montréal (from first year of High School to last year of Cégep) shows 446 children with divorced parents (9.82 %) and 330 orphans (7.27%). Simple and controlled comparisons of these two groups with adolescents living with both parents reveal a regular pattern where children of divorced families perceive themselves at a disadvantage, followed by orphans in the middle. The authors also analyse how the length of a divorce, the age at which parents divorced and the sex of the guardian parent influence the children. The authors then discuss the fact there are more girls born from divorced families

“…For example, Touliatos and Lindholm (1980) found that youngsters living with fathers only and with mothers and stepfathers exhibited more conduct problems and socialized delinquency than did their peers in intact families. Several researchers (Kalter & Rembar, 1981;Schoettle & Cantwell, 1980;Touliatos & Lindholm, 1980) have reported that children from "disrupted" homes manifest behavioral problems, such as conduct, bizarre behavior, and coopera tive stealing. Jenkins argues, however, that coping with singleparenthood and the inherent problems created are compounded by the shift in the family's economic status which may occur.…”

While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this manuscript, the qualiiy of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. For example:• Manuscript pages may have indistinct print. In such cases, the best available copy has been filmed.• Manuscripts may not always be complete. In such cases, a note will indicate that it is not possible to obtain missing pages.• Copyrighted material may have been removed from the manuscript. In such cases, a note will indicate the deletion.Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, and charts) are photographed by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each oversize page is also filmed as one exposure and is available, for an additional charge, as a standard 35mm slide or as a 17"x 23" black and white photographic print.Most photographs reproduce acceptably on positive microfilm or microfiche but lack the clarity on xerographic copies made from the microfilm. For an additional charge, 35mm slides of 6"x 9" black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography.
