Exposure to parental separation in childhood and later parenting quality as an adult: evidence from a 30-year longitudinal study / Myron D. FRIESEN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-1 (January 2017)

This study sought to extend this literature by examining associations between childhood exposure to parental separation/divorce and later parenting behavior as an adult in a New Zealand birth cohort. Methods Data were drawn from the Christchurch Health and Development Study (CHDS), a longitudinal study of a birth cohort of 1,265 children born in 1977 in Christchurch, New Zealand. Information about exposure to parental separation and divorce was gathered annually from birth to 15 years. At the 30-year follow-up, all cohort members who had become parents (biological or nonbiological) were assessed on several parenting dimensions (sensitivity, warmth, overreactivity, inconsistency, quality of child management, and physical punishment). Results The analyses showed that exposure to more frequent parental separation in childhood and adolescence was associated with lower levels of parental sensitivity and warmth, greater overreactivity, and an increased use of physical punishment as a parent, after controlling for a wide range of family socioeconomic and psychosocial factors, and individual child characteristics. Conclusions The findings suggest that as exposure to parental separation increases, so does the likelihood of experiencing multiple developmental challenges in childhood and adolescence. As an adult, these life-course experiences can have small but significant associations with the quality of parenting behavior.

Parental separation/divorce in childhood and partnership outcomes at age 30 / David M. FERGUSSON in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 55-4 (April 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 55-4 (April 2014) . - p.352-360 Titre : Parental separation/divorce in childhood and partnership outcomes at age 30 Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : David M. FERGUSSON, Auteur ; Geraldine F. H. MCLEOD, Auteur ; L. JOHN HORWOOD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.352-360 Mots-clés : Adulthood  child development  family factors  marital relationships  longitudinal studies Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Previous research has found that children exposed to separation/divorce may also experience relationship problems in adulthood. The aim of this investigation was to examine this issue in a birth cohort of over 900 New Zealand children studied to age 30. Methods Data were gathered over the course of the Christchurch Health and Development Study (CHDS). The CHDS is a 30 year longitudinal study of a birth cohort of 1265 children born in Christchurch (NZ) in 1977. The data collected included the following: (a) timing and number of parental separations and divorces from birth to 15 years; (b) partnership outcomes (16–30 years) of the number of cohabiting/marriage partnerships; positive partner relations; negative partner relations; partner adjustment/conduct problems; and interpartner violence victimization and perpetration; and (c) potential covariate factors. Results Study findings showed the presence of significant associations between childhood parental separations/divorces and number of cohabiting/marriage partnerships (16–30 years) (p .001), negative partner relations (p = .021), extent of partner adjustment/conduct problems (p .001), and perpetration of interpartner violence (p = .018). Childhood parental separation/divorce explained less than 2.5% of the variance in partnership outcomes. These associations were explained statistically by a series of covariate factors associated with childhood parental separation/divorce including parental history of illicit drug use, childhood sexual abuse, childhood conduct problems (7–9 years), interparental conflict and violence, childhood physical punishment/maltreatment, family socio-economic status at the child's birth, and parental history of criminality. Tests of gender interaction showed that the effect of childhood parental separations/divorces may be the same for males and females. Analysis of the number of childhood parental separations/divorces experienced into three age groups (birth to 5, 5–10 years and 10–15 years) yielded similar results. Conclusions These findings suggest that the general associations between childhood parental separation/divorce and partner relationships in adulthood reflect the consequences of various contextual factors that are associated with childhood parental separation.
