The Relentless Search for Effects of Divorce: Forging New Trails or Tumbling Down the Beaten Path?
Year: 1993
Type: article
Abstract: In his integrative review in this issue of JMF, Amato accomplishes an important task by providing sorely needed theoretical focus for research on children of divorce. He develops numerous linkages between theoretical frameworks, explicit hypotheses, and empirical generalizations. The deliberate emphasis on identifying specific mechanisms through which parental divorce enters into and influences children's everyday lives is a rare quality in this research area and provides very useful guidance for future investigation. In these ways Amato forges potentially promising paths.
