Requirements: Project 3 (Research Paper)- Instructional Guide & Rubric
Project 3: Research Paper. Your final paper should be 5-7 pages long and include at least 6 scholarly sources. Remember that no websites can count toward this total of 6 sources. If you did a good job on your synthesis paper, you already have 3 pages and 3 sources done. Use the feedback you received to improve your synthesis paper, and then use this as the beginning of your final paper. This paper must use APA style to cite sources both in your text and in your References at the end.
A title that describes the topic of your study as well as a research question that is viable for a research paper
6+ properly formatted APA citations (including in-text and reference page citations)
5-7 pages of text (double spaced, 12 point fonts, Times New Roman)
1 reference page (NOT included in the 5-7 pages of text)
Should synthesize the articles. Do not list an article, explain it, and move on to the next. They should be integrated. This means that they should be used to support the topic and research question you are trying to answer. What did this article say in relation to your article and how did this other article support/refute it?
DO NOT quote the articles. In a paper this short, you may paraphrase what they have said, but again, you are intertwining it with your own research topics- so there isnt a need to quote.

The Impacts of Divorce on the Psychological Development of Children in Varying Countries
Children react differently in many given situations based upon their environment, specifically in situations related to parental divorce. This reaction is important because it can shape the development of children for the rest of their lives. This consideration leaves the question, what are the different effects of divorce on the psychological development of children around the world? This could potentially be explained by examining laws regarding divorce, investigating the perspective of bystanders, and comparing developmental aspects of children with married parents to those with divorced parents.
Laws regarding custody during divorce are put in place to protect children from the negative aspects included in the process. Looking at laws allows one to compare the impact of divorce globally. In Catalonia, Spain they recognize the shift towards a higher divorce rate, and put laws in place to protect the best interest of the minors in the case. Article 211-6 CCCat of Catalan law specifically states that the best interest for the child should be the determining factor in choices made affecting him or her (Lauroba, 2014). In the United States, the decisions made for children are starting to be made by more qualified professionals, such as judges, lawyers, and experts of mental health, because the adversary system previously used puts the wants of parents first (Oppawsky, 2014). The decisions made for children should always promote their well-being, and if these decisions are not for the best interest of the child, then they will be negatively impacted in their psychological development. Having a mediator in court cases often allows for an outside party to help solve the issue at hand.
The parties involved in divorce have a bias when it comes to their actions impacts on children, so having an opinion from a bystander reveals what is actually occurring. Nurses are primary third-party members that can unbiasedly analyze the tole the divorce is taking on children. When nurses identify symptomology, they have the ability to prevent further delay in psychological development, as well as to provide parents with resources for their children (Oppawsky, 2014). Nurses can recognize symptoms that parents may normally brush off, and acknowledge that their cause is primarily from the parental divorce. Another mediator in law situations is the family therapist. Therapists have revealed that there are ways to make divorce easier on children in the terminology used to describe the experience. This terminology change involves using words like parental custody, time, and decision making, rather than custody, physical custody, and legal custody, respectively (Emery, Rowen, & Dinescu, 2014). Another perspective to consider is what the normal, non-divorced childs development actually looks like in comparison to the divorced child.
Comparing the development of children from parents that are married to those that are divorced allows observers to have a standard to refer to when looking at the impacts of divorce on children. Children with divorced parents tend to have more issues when dealing with self-esteem, acting-out, and depression. (Rappaport, 2013). This makes sense, because children going through tough times often seek out in ways to attempt to get help and attention. Nurses see the ways children from divorced families act out in school, throw temper tantrums, and also develop night terrors (Oppawsky, 2014). Children from households that contain married parents are much less likely to develop these things, and knowing this sets a standard to which child development can be held. Nurses also know the specific stages of development and how regression can occur based off of drastic events resulting in a setback in development (Oppawsky, 2014).
Divorce quite often negatively impacts children, and this was seen through analyzing the behaviors of children from divorced homes in comparison to those in married households, bringing in a mediator that is a third party to the divorce, as well as looking at the legal systems used to protect children going through parental divorce. There are detrimental effects on the psychological physiological, and emotional development of children stemmed from parental divorce. Nurses and family therapists are some of the best mediators to identify symptoms from divorce and the proper ways to treat them. Laws protecting the needs and best interests of children have been established to decrease these negative effects.
