Answer to Question 1
Divorce may influence children's misbehavior through its effect on parental misbehavior.
Developmental/life-course theorists, such as Sampson and Laub believe that a good marriage helps men knife off from misbehavior. If marriage helps subdue antisocial behavior, then it stands to reason that divorce may encourage parental deviance.
Anger and rage that may have precipitated the dissolution of marriage may not be alleviated by separation. Research shows that domestic violence that may have been present in stress-filled marriages does not abate after separation but merely shifts to ex-partners who are targeted in the aftermath of divorce.
Parents who are in post-divorce turmoil may influence their children to misbehave.
Jaffee and her associates studied the quality of marriage and found that the less time fathers lived with their children, the more conduct problems their children had.
However, when fathers engaged in high levels of antisocial behavior themselves, the more time they spent with their children, the more conduct problems their children had.
Jaffee concluded that staying married may not be the answer to the problems faced by children living in single-parent families unless parents can refrain from deviant behaviors and become reliable sources of emotional and economic support.
