Read below forum and write a reply: For my research topic, I want to focus on divorce and specifically how it effects the children. In order for this investigation to be successful, I want to inquire and compare different types of family dynamics. The main research question will be: Does divorce negatively or positively impact children or is there no major change in the child’s well-being? There are many variables that will be in play during this investigation including the age of parents at the time of divorce, the age of the children at the time of the divorce, the amount of children in the household, the custody arrangements after the divorce, the family dynamic or family mood before the divorce (high stress or low stress), the social and economic status of the family, the ethnicity/race/culture of the family, the appearance of mental health issues or addiction before or after the divorce, etc. There are many elements to the family dynamic that have to be taken into consideration. However, my goal is to broadly gain a better understanding of whether the action of divorce has an impact and what that impact is on the children involved in the divorce. The independent variable will be the divorce itself. The dependent variables will include the child’s performance in school (before and after divorce), age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status/income group, pre-divorce family mood, mental health issues (before and after divorce), presence of addiction (before and after divorce). It is important to understand the status of the family prior to the divorce in order to understand how the actual divorce affected the child separately from potential causes of divorce. I look forward to the professor’s and my classmates thoughts on this topic! It is very complex, therefore, I’m not sure that it is suitable for this assignment but it is a subject that interests me. I also don’t know if the information provided by the GSS is broad enough to provide enough insight to this topic but I’m optimistic that my main focus will be somewhere within this general realm of subject matter.
