- Abstract
The number of divorces in China steadily increases, along with upheaval that brings children traumatic grief and hardship. The purpose of this study is to explore how parental divorce affects children’s interpersonal development. 194 participants from China responded to the questionnaires. The findings revealed that, when their parents divorce, children will experience fluctuation on personalities that incline to be introverted, withdrawn, and inferior. These psychological changes could render youngsters refused to communicate or irritable and rude to the opposite extreme. Second, teenagers may be led astray and acquire undesirable habits due to the missing role of parental supervision that plays the role model through imitation and interaction. Children have gender disturbance due to a misplaced gender role identification and a lack of social adaptation.
