Abstract

Current psychological research suggests divorce is transmitted from generation to generation, although causation of this transmission has yet to be proven. This paper applies existing research on the intergenerational transmission of divorce and its effect on adolescent and adult romantic relationships to three hypotheses attempting to explain why offspring of divorced couples have more dysfunctional romantic relationships and are more likely to divorce than children of intact families. Each hypothesis is based on one of three theories of learning: behaviorist, social learning, and psychosocial. With no single theory explaining all the facets of this multi-dimensional problem, the research suggests that it is likely a combination of factors relating to all three theories resulting in the transmission of divorce between generations
