THE CONSEQUENCES OF DIVORCE FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN: AN UPDATE (2014, background): “Several scholars, including Amato (2000, 2001), Hetherington and Kelly (2002), and Kelly and Emery (2003), have reviewed this (primarily) American research literature.”
Communication Processes that Predict Young Adults’ Feelings of Being Caught and their Associations with Mental Health and Family Satisfaction (2007, background): “…further confirm a growing consensus among researchers that conflict and other communication processes between parents, rather than divorce itself, may be the primary detrimental influences on children’s adjustment and well-being (e.g., Amato & Afifi, 2006; Booth & Amato, 2001; Hetherington, 1999).”
Toward a comprehensive model of antisocial development: a dynamic systems approach. (2006, background): “Children from crowded inner city neighborhoods with high crime rates (Offord, Boyle, & Racine, 1991) and children of divorced parents (Amato, 2001; Furstenberg, 1988) are also at increased risk for developing behavioral problems.”
Contextual Influences on Marriage (2005, background): “…fulfilling marriages are associated with improved physical and mental health and higher educational and economic achievement for parents and children and that the absence of such relationships is associated with poorer health and economic outcomes (e.g., Amato, 2001; KiecoltGlaser&Newton, 2001).”
Parental marital conflict and divorce, parent‐child relationships, social support, and relationship anxiety in young adulthood (2004, background): “…effects of parental divorce and conflict on outcomes for offspring in young adulthood is important, both because developmental consequences for offspring are not clearly understood and because outcomes for offspring may change as social acceptance of divorce increases (Amato, 2001; Cherlin, 1992).”
Family Policies and Children's School Achievement in Single‐ Versus Two‐Parent Families (2003, background): “One explanation stresses the interparental conflict that is too often generated as marriage dissolves, and that inflicts psychological stress on children (Amato, 2001; Amato & Keith, 1991; Dronkers, 1999).”
Same‐Sex Parent Families and Children's Academic Achievement (2012, background): “In general, previous research has found that children in nontraditional families do worse than their peers from married, two-biological parent families on several developmental outcomes, although, of particular interest for this study, are differences in academic achievement (Amato, 2001; Manning & ”
Life satisfaction among European American, African American, Chinese American, Mexican American, and Dominican American adolescents (2004, background): “Relatedly, research shows that divorce generally has a negative impact on goal-striving in particular and child well-being more generally (Amato, 2001; Hetherington, Bridges, & Isabella, 1998; Sun, 2001).”
Effects of Inequality, Family and School on Mathematics Achievement: Country and Student Differences (2010, background): “Although families of one parent and one step-parent (blended families) need not differ financially from two-parent families, blended families might have more challenging interactions (Amato 2001).”
Effects of parental imprisonment on child antisocial behaviour and mental health: a systematic review (2009, background): “Given that both parental criminality (Farrington, Coid, & Murray, 2009; Farrington, Jolliffe, Loeber, Stouthamer-Loeber, & Kalb, 2001; Rakt, Nieuwbeerta, & Graaf, 2008) and "broken homes" (Amato, 2001; Amato & Keith, 1991; Bowlby, 1946; Juby & Farrington, 2001) are established risk factors for child”
Divorce in Europe and the United States: Commonalities and differences across nations (2010, background): “Amato's ( 2001 ) meta-analysis of studies conducted in the 1990s found that effect sizes for externalizing problems were significantly higher for sons than daughters.”
