Behavioural development in children of divorce and remarriage
Article Abstract:
Researchers studied data from the Quebec Longitudinal Study to examine the effects of divorce and remarriage on children's behavioural development. They concluded that children whose parents had divorced before the child was six years old displayed significantly more behavioural problems than those whose parents divorced when the children were older. Parental divorce in early childhood is associated with hyperactive, anxious or oppositional behaviour in later childhood. Children did not show behavioural problems during the period before parental divorce, and parental remarriage had minimal impact on behaviour.

Effects of poverty on academic failure and delinquency in boys: A change and process model approach
Article Abstract:
The Montreal Longitudinal-Experimental Study was started in spring 1984 with a total sample of 1161 children, which were assessed at age six, ten and sixteen. Data from the study has been used to assess the impact of poverty on adolescent boys and has revealed links between family poverty and academic failure at the age of sixteen. Links were also identified between continuous poverty between the ages of 10-15 and being in an incorrect grade for the child's age.
