Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cherlin's summary of research on children's experience of divorce suggests that a small group of children will experience long-term problems that persist into adulthood. While some children may have few or no emotional reactions, and the majority will resume normal development within five years, there is evidence that a subset of children will continue to experience negative effects from their parents' divorce for a significant period of time. Therefore, option B is the most accurate description of what the research shows according to Cherlin's summary. Option A is too sweeping and does not account for individual differences in children's responses, and option D is unsupported by the research summary provided. Option C is somewhat accurate but does not acknowledge that a significant minority of children may not experience a full return to normal functioning after their parents' divorce.
