Looking for information on how children are effected by divorce

What ages are effected the most? Do children handle divorce differently based on race? Which gender take divorce the hardest? How can children be help before, during, and after the process of divorce?

Answer

Hello,

Thanks for contacting the Online Library.  For your research, i would recommend the following databases:

  • PsycARTICLES and PsycINFO
  • Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection

You can find both of these databaaes listed alphabetically under the Find Articles and More button in the Onine Library.  I would recommend using the advanced search in both of these databases.  For search terms, I would recommend:

  • child* AND divorce
  • child* age AND divorce
  • young child* AND divorce
  • adolescent AND divorce
  • child* effect AND divorce
  • child* race AND divorce
  • Child* gender  AND divorce
  • child* sex  AND divorce
  • child* help  AND divorce
  • Child* comfort AND divorce

I would recommend mixing and matching these search terms.  Be sure you enter your search terms as they are listed. The * will bring back the root word with various endings--for example, child, children, etc.  I would recommend checking the box for full text to only bring back the records with the full text articles attached.  If you need scholarly or peer-reviewed articles, be sure you check the box for peer-reviewed.

Please let us know if you have any other questions!
