Correlation analysis could be interesting with regard to the passing down of historical trauma from parents to children. Are you doing qualitative or quantitative research? If qualitative, I might consider doing exploratory research and maybe using grounded theory with interviews to collect information. I like qualitative research because it allows one to generate ideas and form hypotheses based on data. However, if you already have an idea in mind and want to test a correlation between variables, then you could perhaps conduct some kind of quantitative research, maybe using the survey method (Newman, 2016). I would try to build on what Gittleman (2006) has examined and see if there is some gap in the research that needs to be addressed and then decide which approach is best for addressing that gap. Overall, I think your idea is a good one and could work, but I want to know more about what your correlation analysis is going to look like. You will want to define your variables. You will also want to consider your sample and how you will collect a sample of participants.

As there are some assumptions about how divorce impacts children, these could be the focus of your exploration (Lee, Burkam, Zimiles & Ladewski, 1994). The qualitative design fits because you are not going to be testing any variables for correlation or testing a hypothesis. I would consider a case study approach or perhaps a phenomenological approach. Either will require a great deal of attention and direct observation could be very helpful in the latter. With the case study, the drawbacks are that it is not going to be highly generalizeable, although it could be if you arrange the study appropriately.

If the divorce occurs at an early age, the adverse effects academically are greater. Some researchers have also suggested that teachers may expect less of children who come from one-parent homes. They may have negative attitudes towards these children and expect less of them. It is dangerous for teachers to stereotype children from one-family homes as poor students. Children from divorce need the same kind of education as other children
Child Abuse What is child abuse Every explanation of child abuse and abandonment takes for granted a description of the child. The Convention on the Rights of the Child stipulates that a child is "any human who has not attained the age of 18 years except if the law pertaining to child majority is reached at an earlier age."
