Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that children in elementary school (ages 6-10) may be at the highest risk for negative effects from their parents' divorce, as they are old enough to understand what is happening but may not have developed the coping skills and emotional resilience necessary to handle the disruption caused by the divorce. Infants (A) and preschoolers (B) may be less affected due to their limited cognitive abilities, while college students (D) may be more equipped to handle the divorce and have already established their own separate lives.
