The conclusion is probably based on a correlational study, as it involves comparing two groups (children of divorced parents and children of parents who remain together) and looking for a potential relationship between their experiences and emotional distress. It is not a double-blind or single-blind experiment, as there is no manipulation of an independent variable and no control group. It is not a phrenological study, as that is a discredited and outdated method of examining the shape and size of the skull to determine personality traits.
