Moats, Michelle Marie

Abstract Details

2004, Master of Science, Miami University, Family and Child Studies.
This study focuses on college students' attitudes and perceptions of marriage and divorce in today's society based on ther experience, or lack of experience, with parental divorce. This study also examines if differences exist among college students from divorced families and married-parent families and their perceptions of marriage and divorce. Additionally, this study looks at how parental conflict impacts the formation of college students' attitudes about marital relationships. A convenience sample strategy was used and surveys were handed out in undergraduate classes at Miami University. A total of 386 students participated in this study. The results of this study show that perceived parental conflict is a strong indicator of how college students form their attitudes of marriage and divorce.
