SOC 0438 1st EditionExam # 2 Study GuideStudy Guide for Sociology of the Family Exam 2The second exam will take place on Monday 11/10.After speaking to the TA I was informed that It will be mainly focused on divorce (its effects on children, etc.) and on same sex marriages. The chapters that are mainly referenced are 17, 18, 20, 23, and 25. Unlike the first exam there will be direct references to the online lecture slides and the TA encourages the memorization of them.Chapter 17: The impact of divorce on children’s behavior.Summary: this article questions whether behavioral problems in children thathail from divorced families exist because of the divorce or if it is some other factor that causes both the divorce and the behavioral problems. Rather thancomparing the behavior of children with divorced parents to that of children whose parents have remained married this study compares the behavior of the same children before and after the divorce. The results off the study showed that divorce did not have any significant impact on children’s behavior (the parents rarely noticed much change in their child’s behavior). The author proposes that it was actually the qualities of a ”bad” marriage or “bad” parenting that led to behavioral problems and in most cases eventual divorce.Chapter 18: How do they do that; estimating the proportion of marriages thatend in divorce.This short article discusses the many different ways that are used to estimate the percentage of marriages that end in divorce and points out the many issues that can arise from them and cause the data to be inaccurate.
