Abstract

Social agents develop beliefs to generate expectations about the social reality in which they live, and to guide their own behavior. The aim of this study was to analyze the explicit belief held by a group of young people (from 19 to 26 years old) about the effects of divorce on the parents after the separation, and if this is influenced by the variables submitted to study. For this, an open interview was given to a sample of 160 subjects, distributed according to their personal experience of family breakdown (experienced vs. inexperienced) and their sex (male vs. female). In general, the results show a more negative than positive view of the effects of the family break in the non-custodial parent. On the contrary, a somewhat more positive than negative view of the effects on the custodial parent. In addition, the Personal Experience of family breakdown is the variable that show the greatest influence on the explicit belief about divorce and its effects.
