Smith, Ken R. | Double impact: what sibling data can tell us about the long-term negative effects of parental divorce | Most prior research on the adverse consequences of parental divorce has analyzed only one child per family. As a result, it is not known whether the same divorce affects siblings differently. We address this issue by analyzing paired sibling data from the 1994 General Social Survey (GSS) and 1994 Su... | Divorce; Siblings; Educational attainment; Marital stability | 2003 |
