Many research studies have shown that, on average, children of divorce have more behavior problems than children growing up in two-parent families. But the question for social scientists is whether the problems seen in the children of divorced parents were caused by the divorce, or whether something else caused BOTH the divorce and the children's problems. Researchers wonder, in particular, whether some couples have personal characteristics and/or parenting patterns that increase the chance that their children will have behavior problems AND ALSO increase the chance that the couple will be unable to resolve marital issues. If this "something else" causes both divorce and behavior problems, then it is likely that that children would still have had problems even if their parents had somehow managed to remain married. How do we look for that "something else"?
He did to me the same things he'd done to Carrie, but asked even more questions. Embarrassing questions. "You haven't menstruated in more than two months?" "I've never been regular, really! I started when I was twelve, and twice I skipped from three to six months.
In a way this makes sense, I mean we are already way behind on times moving to the new platform and why go through the trouble of switching platforms twice. Well, many things come into play when you’re talking about this and there are a couple of things that jump to my attention that would make that jump difficult. First off, talks of the ICD-11 implementation are still at least 10 years out under best circumstances in the US. This would mean that we’d be stuck with outdated systems for even longer and having us be on ICD-9 for 45 years. Unfortunately on top of that, ICD-11 doesn’t even include a procedure classification system, which means a procedure coding system for use in the US could need to be developed and it is estimated that this process of developing a US clinical modification would take close to a decade.
Lin Article Critique Part III Whitney Barber Liberty University December 9, 2012 EVALUATING ANALYSIS AND RESULTS When an author reports percentages, it is also important for the underlying number of cases fir each percentage to be reported as well (Pyrczak, 2008). It can be considered misleading if all numbers are not reported. In the beginning of this study, there were forty participants. At the end, there were only fourteen leaving seven in each group. The four-month follow up consisted of only six from the experimental group and four from the controlled group.
907-928. Topic This paper focuses on the aftermath of domestic and family violence and investigates the impact this violence has on children and their primary carers. In conjunction with this study, the author questions the 2006 reforms to the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) (‘FLA’). Alexander’s premise is that the reforms have done little to adequately resolve the issues for the victims and in some cases have made matters worse. Many victims continue to experience violence long after the court proceedings have finished.

Policy Issues Submitted By Jaclyn M. Peluso March 23, 2015 Submitted To Darrell Cook CJA/314 Faculty University of Phoenix Intimate partner violence (IPV), better known as domestic violence (DV), affects many children in the United States. The overall effects on children who are witnesses to physical, mental, and sexual abuse are damaging to their well-being. For example, exposure to domestic violence affects a child’s physical health, behaviors including social and emotional outbursts, brain function and, neurobiological and relational development. It is important to understand how domestic violence affects children residing in an unstable environment. This paper will discuss domestic violence and its effects on children
The topic of marriage and divorce has been discussed and researched for many years. Many reasons are given for why marriages end with divorce. This discussion will begin by looking at the definition of divorce. Webster defines divorce as “the action of legally dissolving a marriage” (Divorce). In order to understand divorce better, a definition of marriage must be discussed.
Parental separation has been reported in the literature as being associated with a wide range of adverse effects on children’s wellbeing, both as a short-term consequence of the transition and in the form of more enduring effects that persist into adulthood. Both parental marital status and the parent-adolescent relationship have been found to be related to adolescent well-being (Forehand, Middleton, & Long, 1987; Buchanan, Maccoby, & Dombusch 1991). There is a wide diversity of outcomes among both groups of children from divorced and intact families, and the adjustment of children following divorce depends on a wide range of other factors. Pryor and Rodgers (2001) show that the risk of poor social adjustment is twice as great for children whose parents are separated or divorced (Amato, 2000; Simons, Lin, Gordon, Conger, and Lorenz, 1999; Emery, 1999; Kelly, 2000; Hetherington and Kelly, 2002). Among other things, children from divorced families 2 PAGE UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS showed increased problems in social and close relationships (Hetherington 1997), were two to three times more likely to associate with antisocial peers (Amato and Keith, 1991), engaged in earlier commencement of sexual activity, including being twice as likely to encounter teenage pregnancy (McLanahan, 1999), and were at a greater risk of substance
Negative aspects and attributes of divorce, such as discussions on the parental control, cruel scenes between parents and negligent attitude towards the child, as proven by the empirical research data, influence future behavioral patterns of this child and create dysfunctional attitude and relationships in his or her own family. The statistics shows that twenty one percent of the respondents in one of the research on the functional differences in the families of individuals, brought up by one of the divorced parents,
