Özet
The main purpose of the present study was to investigate whether perceived power/control over child-related concerns was a predictor of post-divorce adjustment above and beyond perceived social support and some relevant demographic characteristics. As indicators of divorced parents' adjustment level, emotional/social adjustment, and general psychological distress measurements were utilized. Perceived power/control over child-related concerns was conceptualized and measured in terms of satisfaction with custody, visitation, alimony, and parenting and the degree of financial strain. According to the results, higher levels of perceived power/control over parenting and financial matters and higher levels of perceived social support predicted better adjustment to divorce. In addition, demographic characteristics of older age, higher education, being the person who raised the idea of divorce first, not taking professional help at the time of measurement, and presence of a romantic relationship after divorce were proved as the predictors of parents' higher levels of post-divorce adjustment. On the other hand, gender, length of marriage, number of children, initiator status, and duration of divorce were not associated with emotional/social divorce adjustment and psychological distress in a Turkish sample. © 2005 by The Haworlh Press, Inc.
