1b. The EBSCOhost database is a database that I have used before. It is easy to use and navigate.
I was able to find a good article to use after about 3 different searches. The most relevant
articles came up first and it was easy to find.
1c. In this study, the researchers wanted to find a connection between growing up in a family that
managed conflict well vs one that didn’t manage conflict well and how it effects adult children’s
relationships. There are several factors being considered in this study which are, if the adult child
comes from a home with high conflict levels vs low conflict levels, parental marital status, the
age of the adult child at the time of their first marriage/cohabitation, and if their first relationship
is a cohabitation. According to this study, the adult child’s age plays into marriage dissolution.
1d. The results of this study are very useful in answering my question. The results found that
growing up in a home with marital conflict does have long lasting effects on the children into
adulthood. It also found that the effects of conflict are lessened if the parents ended their
relationship.
