For This Assignment, I Chose To Read And Reviewed Four

For this assignment, I chose to read and reviewed four research articles that talk about the effects of divorce on children. Each of them discussed about whether the differences in the level of parental marital conflict could leave any impacts on the well-being of the children. Besides, all of these papers compare between the high-conflict and low-conflict families. They compare and contrast the well being of the children of divorce when they reach young adults and adulthood stage. All of these articles are the combination of both qualitative and quantitative types of researches. Some theoretical perspectives that were used are economic deprivation, family structure and psychological stress. Plus, these papers were already being reviewed†¦show more content†¦The author tried to support his hypothesis by doing 1-hour interview by interviewing children that being randomly selected from three different schools. Then, he measured and computed any conflicts that provided by the c hildren’s parents, peers and external raters. He provided sources from past studies that show negative effects of divorce on children and use examples to further support his arguments. However, his findings did not support his hypothesis. He found out that parental conflicts do not mean that it can leave negative relationship to the children’s self-esteem. Thus, he clarifies by saying that this difference in findings happens because past researchers rely on clinical samples, while his samples were from randomly selected children. In my opinion, presenting past studies that lead us to make our hypothesis are really effective as it provides the base and evidence of our arguments. However, this article is not persuasive because the author stated in his study that the measurements that he used to study and address some problems in this study have unknown validity and reliability—this can be one of the weaknesses of this study. By saying that, it makes me feel that t he finding of this study will not be as accurate and promising. The finding of this paper is also contradicted with my belief. I thought it would be the way around. It is because, according to Prof. Hansen’s lecture on, â€Å"Chosen Relationships and Roots of Mature Love†, it is said thatShow MoreRelatedPersonal Review And Reflection Paper1262 Words   |  6 Pagesobjectives that were completed.

Water and dams provided the backdrop for most of those thoughts and not without a bit of hypocrisy since a lot of them came while floating down a beautiful trout river in Tennessee created by a hydroelectric dam. I tried to be explicit in my paper that not all dams are bad (again, see the image of that pretty river), but that the overzealousRead MoreInformative Speech : Psychoactive Drugs Essay1603 Words   |  7 PagesThe second article that I felt needed revision to solidify the success of the piece was the brochure that discusses my topic of psychoactive drugs. While creating this topic in brochure form, I enjoyed the task at hand, felt at ease when creating it, so revising it would not necessarily be a burden on my part. The first major revision worth noting is the coherency. Throughout there were some word phrases that either did not flow well, were out of place, or felt too extra to the discussion at handRead MoreEnglish Exit Exam1078 Words   |  5 PagesDear Reader, My writing journey this semester has been a roller coaster. Since the beginning of this course I have improved in so many different areas. When I first began in this class, I didn’t have a clue how to start my essays. I wasn’t very good with being descriptive either. On top of that, revising was something I hated to do. My writing process was very messy and organization was never something I considered when writing a paper. Since taking this class my skills in organization, revisionRead MoreLanguage And Literature Courses And Ap U.s.
