PARENT-ADOLESCENT RELATIONSHIPS AFTER A DIVORCE
Postgraduate
Abstract
This study investigates if a divorce
affects the attitudes and trust between parents and adolescents. Participants
were 986 adolescents and their parents, taken from a Swedish longitudinal study,
the “10 to 18” study. This study used 28 measures of parent-adolescent
relationships, which created three areas: warmth, closeness and conflicts
between parents and adolescents. The adolescents were divided into three
groups, and one-way ANOVAs were made to test differences. The results showed
that a divorce affects the father adolescent relationship more than the
mother-adolescent relationship. They also showed that the attitudes and the
trust between parents and adolescents were affected by a divorce.
