Family Dynamics and Relationships Child and Adolescent Psychosocial and Emotional Development Attachment and Relationship Dynamics

Abstract

Experiencing a parental divorce in childhood can have a significant impact on depression in adulthood. Investigating this relationship among 4,727 men and women of the Panel Study of Belgian households, we found not only a direct influence of parental divorce on depression, but also an indirect effect through specific relationship characteristics in adulthood. Separate analyses of respondents involved in a partner relationship yielded similar results: Parental divorce has a large impact on depression through relationship commitment and financial measures in adulthood. These Belgian results support international studies.
