Abstract
The study examined multiple factors related to satisfactory post-divorce adjustment of 204 single custodial parents. One hundred eighty-seven women and seventeen men were administered four instruments: Fisher Divorce Adjustment Scale; General Well Being Schedule; Single Parent Questionnaire; and a Single Parent Interview developed for the study. A survey format with delivery and pick up of test packets at participants' homes was used. Multiple regression statistical analysis was conducted. Findings indicate the strongest single predictor of divorce adjustment was the custodial parent's own subjective sense of well-being. Other significant factors included sense of social status and economic position, initiating the divorce, quantity and quality of friends, and employment satisfaction. Two other factors significant in a general equation were single parenting skills and overall relationship with the noncustodial parent.
