Triggers and Fuses in Late Divorce
The narratives of six Israeli men and nine Israeli women who divorced at ages above 45 were analyzed by qualitative methods to explore the process of marital deterioration in this age group, in marriages of fifteen years and more. Narrators' ratings of their marriages ranged from “excellent” to “disastrous.” The major causes of marital failure described were lack of emotional mutuality and communication, physical and emotional abuse, and alternat…
Perception of Family Structure, State-Anger, and Parent-Child Communication and Adjustment of Children of Divorced Parents
The present research focused on the effects of parental perceptions of family structure on children's sense of self-worth. Perceived family structure was measured by the ‘ideal’ and ‘actual’ versions of FACES III (Olson, Portner, &Lavee, 1985). Participants consisted of 191 divorced custodial fathers and mothers and one of their children between the ages 6-18. It was hypothesized that the parental perceptions of family structure affect the child'…
Who Pulls the Trigger
The narratives of six Israeli men and nine Israeli women who divorced at ages above 45 were analyzed by qualitative methods to explore the process of divorce initiation in this age group, in first marriages of fifteen years and more. Ten factors associated with the status of “initiator” emerged: gender; the presence of an alternative relationship; pressing for change in the marriage; outside support; economic considerations; health; emotional or …
Family Cohesiveness, Flexibility and Maternal Anger
The present chapter examines the relationship between family structure, as expressed in cohesion and adaptability, as well as the emotional state-parental anger-with children's behavior problems. Specifically, divorced mothers and one of their adolescent children were tested in a multiple respondent design in which both mothers and children rated children's behavior problems. High levels of family cohesion and adaptability were predicted to be re…
The Relation Between State Anger in Divorced Mothers and Adjustment
The Influence of Divorce on Children
This paper is a review of children's postdivorce adjustment in relation to individual, familial, social and cultural contingencies. A systems perspective is adopted with children's adjustment being viewed as a dynamic ongoing process and causation perceived as circular. Research, interventive and treatment implications are discussed in this framework
The Experience and Expression of Anger in Divorced Mothers
Relations between divorced mothers' anger and children's behavior problems were examined. High state anger was associated with fewer problems in sons, but more problems in daughters. Factor analysis identified two state anger factors: action potential and feeling angry, with high action potential associated with fewer behavior problems in sons but more in daughters. It was hypothesized that high action potential is expressed in maternal assertive…
The Relation of State-Anger to Self-Esteem, Perceptions of Family Structure and Attributions of Responsibility for Divorce of Custodial Mothers in the Stabilization Phase of the Divorce Process
Research shows that divorced women usually experience high levels of anger even several years past the divorce event. The present research investigates the long-term influence of custodial mother's State-Anger (S-Anger, Spielberger, 1988) on divorced mothers' personal adjustment as measured in their ratings of self-esteem, perceptions of cohesion and adaptability, and their attributions of responsibility for the divorce. S-Anger was chosen as the…
The Relation of Divorced Mothers' Perceptions of Family Cohesion and Adaptability to Behavior Problems in Children
This study examined the relation between divorced mothers' perceptions of family cohesion and adaptability with children's behavior problems. Mothers, with few exceptions, reported that their children had the fewest behavior problems when they perceived family cohesion and adaptability as high and the most behavioral problems when they perceived these levels as low. These results were in accordance with D. H. Olson's model of coping with stress w…
The Big Brother in the Single Parent Family
This study examined perceptions of ideal and actual function in the "big brother" role amongst big.brothers, single-parent mothers, social workers and a control group. In the ideal perspective, sinele-went mothers and social workers valued the family substitute aspect bf the big brother role as sigruf~cantly more import& than did bie brothers. Perceotions of actual function wihin JTOUDS showed that big brothers perc&ved themselves as doing less c…
Work or Marriage
Sense of competence, time perspective, and state-anxiety of custodial mothers in the "stabilization phase" of the divorce process were examined. These mothers had a more integrative general and parental sense of competence as well as lower levels of state-anxiety as compared to mothers located in the earlier phases of divorce, as predicted by a developmental model of divorce. Mothers in this phase who denied and overrated parental competence, how…
A Comparitive Study of Custodial Mothers and Fathers in the Stabilization Phase of the Divorce Process
Sense of competence, time perspective, and state-anxiety of Israeli custodial mothers and fathers several years past divorce were compared. Both groups had an integrative general and parental sense of competence as well as normal state-anxiety levels in the "stabilization" phase of the divorce process. Mothers rated the past negatively and had higher anger levels than fathers. This was mainly atributed to their adverse postdivorce situation chara…
Children in transition and crisis
This article examines children's coping and adjustment in the face of transition or crisis from an interactional point of view. Neither individual characteristics or interpersonal/situational factors are sufficient to explain children's longterm adjustment. It is rather the interaction between individual characteristics together with changing interpersonal and other environmental influences which are necessary to understand coping and adjustment …
Sense of competence, time perspective, and state-anxiety of separated versus divorced mothers
Separated and divorced mothers, with median separation times of four and 22 months, respectively, were compared on sense of competence, time perspective, and state-anxiety. Divorced mothers showed less defensiveness, in that their self-esteem ratings were more congruent with their self-efficacy and anxiety ratings. They also showed more positive time perspective, indicating greater optimism and suggesting a process of positive emotional transitio…
Children of victims of terrorism revisited
Children and their guardians, seen in treatment following the death of the children's parents in terrorist activities, were interviewed again ten years later. The earlier therapy had concentrated on promoting interpersonal family strengths but, at follow-up, psychopathology indicative of unresolved trauma was reported. A process view of posttraumatic adjustment and treatment is presented, and more structured research designed to test these clinic…
Competence or Dissonance? Divorcing Mothers' Perceptions of Sense of Competence and Time Perspective

A Review of Directionality Trends in the Horizontal Dimension as a Function of Innate and Environmental Factors
This report reviews research on directionality trends in the horizontal dimension. The literature reviewed shows that such trends are predominantly a function of handedness and acquired reading-writing habits and that innate directional tendencies of left-handers are more influenced by acquired habits than those of right-handers. It is suggested that these trends may reflect some aspect of lateralization of cerebral function and that in mature ad…
