Abstract

In this study, the relationship between perceived fear of abandonment and loss due to parental divorce stress and divorced adolescents' anxiety and depression was investigated. Data of 170 divorced adolescents (84 males and 86 females) were statistically analyzed. The results of multi-variate analysis revealed that the group of adolescents with single father showed higher perceived fear of abandonment than other groups. In addition, gender differences were found in the level of anxiety and depression. The hierarchical regression analysis showed that the fear of abandonment significantly predicted anxiety symptoms and the perception of loss predicted depressive symptoms. The relationship between the perception of divorce stress and psychological symptoms was discussed.
