Abstract
This study explored the role of parental and environmental factors in the relationship between parental separation and child vulnerabilities. Participants were from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development, including 358 children from separated families and 1,065 children from non-separated families. Results demonstrated that parental separation was associated with higher levels of hyperactivity/impulsivity in children over and beyond what was accounted for by child gender, maternal symptoms of depression and anxiety, parenting quality, and household income. However, parental separation no longer predicted child anxiety and physical aggression once these parental and environmental variables were controlled. Results highlight the importance of considering the quality of the family environment as more predictive of child outcomes than parental separation per se.
