Children of divorce evaluate their quality of life: The moderating effect of psychological processes

Children and Youth Services Review, 2019, vol. 107, issue C

Abstract: In recent decades, considerable information has been gathered on the negative implications of divorce for children’s well-being. However, the implications of divorce on the children's quality of life – which is manifested mostly in positive life aspects – have been little studied. This article addresses this gap by examining risk and resilience factors related to self-reported quality of life of children of divorced parents, with particular emphasis on psychological processes: self-blame for the divorce and parental conflict and active coping with it.
