Abstract
Based upon the ABC-X model and family systems theory, this study examined (1) problem-solving and behavioral strategies utilized by children in divorced families, and (2) factors related to children`s post-divorce adjustment. Date were collected from 158 elementary school aged children and adolescents of divorced families in an urban area (56 male and 102 female). Results of this study indicated that there were significant age differences in problem-solving and behavioral strategies utilized by difficult family situations. Factors that are useful in predicting adjustment of divorced children are the following variables: sex, visitation frequency of noncustodial parent, quality of custodial parent-child communication, and length of divorce. Implications for knowledge as well as recommendations for future research are discussed.
