Perceptions of deception, divorce disclosures, and communication satisfaction with parents

Abstract

This study examined the impact of perceived parental deception regarding impending divorce on subsequent communication satisfaction with parents and self esteem. Responses from 131 students from divorced and 200 from intact families were compared. Respondents who reported feeling deceived reported lower levels of communication satisfaction with their mothers than those who had not felt deceived. Self‐esteem was negatively related to perceptions of parental deception at the time of divorce. Communication satisfaction with mothers vs. fathers differed for intact versus divorced families.
