Abstract

Parental divorce represents a significant life transition for children, with potential implications for their emotional well-being and development. This mixed-methods study aimed to investigate the impact of parental divorce on emotional development in early adolescents, exploring both quantitative associations and qualitative insights. A diverse sample of early adolescents (N = 300) from various socio-demographic backgrounds participated in the study. Quantitative analyses revealed significant relationships between parental divorce and heightened levels of anxiety, depression, and decreased self-esteem among children. Longitudinal analysis further identified duration and acrimony of the divorce process as significant predictors of emotional outcomes. Qualitative findings provided depth and context to children's experiences, highlighting themes of loss, confusion, and resilience in response to parental divorce. The integration of quantitative and qualitative data illuminated the complex interplay between divorce and emotional development, underscoring the importance of supportive relationships and adaptive coping strategies in fostering resilience. Implications for practice and future research directions are discussed, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions and collaborative efforts to support children navigating the challenges of parental divorce.
