Psychological Bulletin, 110(1): 2-46.
The study shows how children of divorced parents demonstrate lower well-being when measured across various factors. The study is helpful because it provides more support for the thesis and gives an alternative explanation for why children fare poorly under divorced parents, including a discussion of other external variables, such as socio-economic, etc.

The study confirms that early experiences have lasting impacts on children. It is important to this project because it goes into detail about types of experiences and the various ways they can affect child development, which will help to guide the focus of this project. The study goes into significant detail with chapter headings for each area of focus, which is very helpful for locating specific types of experience.
Siegel, D., Bryson, T. (2012). The Whole-Brain Child. NY: Bantam.
This book explains how a child's brain develops and how it reacts to environment and experiences. It will be helpful to this project because it will provide illustrations for why children feel and grow they way they do.

Study shows that the effects of divorce on child can actually be seen "in advance of the actual event" -- which indicates that the stress that leads to divorce is already acting as a factor in the child's life.

Study shows that the effects of divorce on child can actually be seen "in advance of the actual event" -- which indicates that the stress that leads to divorce is already acting as a factor in the child's life. The study also shows, however, that uncertainty still exists about how a child's mental health is actually impacted by this stress. The study is helpful to this project because it gives evidence of how a child's mental health is much more negatively impacted by stressed parents who ultimately divorce than by parents who do not divorce.
Wallerstein, J. (1991). The long-term effects of divorce on children: A review. Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, 30(3): 349-360.

The review indicates that children experience psychological as well as social problems for a long period of time following divorce. The study is helpful to my project because it gives support to the thesis, which is that divorce is negatively impactful on children.

The author notes that little research is accorded to children's diminished psychosocial behavior following divorce. Using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten cohort (n=10,061), he examines the associations between divorce and children's outcome and suggests that divorce is associated with diminished psychosocial well-being in children thereby explaining the connection between divorce and lower academic achievement. The study is useful for my research since it mentions psychosocial factors. Nonetheless, I
This article is of extreme importance in this research study. It adds to the other articles mentioned by discussing the importance of protective factors in detail and urging caution when espousing a correlative relationship between cause and effect in divorce and the reaction of children.

childhood obesity and its correlation to social-economic background.

The no fault law should be revised, and ensured that the motives for the marriage were investigated at the time of the divorce.
