What do longitudinal research studies suggest about the effects of divorce on boys versus girls? What about ethnicity and age?
What will be an ideal response?
Initially, the negative effects seem to impact boys to a greater degree, but over the long term, girls may be more severely affected. Age differences vary between different studies, so no conclusions can be drawn. It appears that ethnicity has very little effect on the negative consequences of divorce.
