Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study, based on a sample of 572 individuals, verified the impact of parental divorce on beliefs toward marriage and divorce, expectations of future relationship success, and marital intentions among single and romantically involved emerging adults. Findings revealed that, in comparison with singles from divorced families, singles from intact families were more likely to report positive views of marriage and to believe that divorce is avoidable. Conversely, beliefs toward marriage and divorce of romantically involved individuals were similar, whether these latter grew up in intact or nonintact families. Finally, for all emerging adults, relational beliefs were associated with relationship expectations and marital intentions.
