What are the behavioral and psychological outcomes for children of divorced parents?
What will be an ideal response?
Compared to children of continuously married parents, children of divorced families show more externalizing problems, as adolescents are at higher risks for teen pregnancy, often feel pressure to grow up faster, and may take on adult responsibilities (parentification). As adults they may be less likely to marry and (when they do marry) may have higher rates of divorce. Some positive outcomes related to parental divorce are greater social responsibility, competence, and empathy during adulthood. Especially for daughters, the divorce may lead to a closer relationship with their mothers.
