The study compares the likelihood of getting married and of getting divorced among the adult offspring of divorced parents versus the adult offspring of parents who remain married (total N = 37,230). It also compares levels of psychological distress in the two groups (total N= 22,898). Data derive from The Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) and population registries from Norway. Individuals with divorced parents tended to delay marriage or not marry at all. However, among those who married, there were more divorces among the offspring of divorced parents than among offspring of parents who were still married. Offspring of divorce tended to marry other offspring of divorce. These marriages were at especially high risk of dissolution. Parental divorce was particularly influential as a risk factor during the first years of marriage. Both parental divorce and the individuals' own divorce were risk factors for psychological distress.
该研究比较了父母离异的成年子女与父母婚姻存续的成年子女结婚和离婚的可能性（总样本量N = 37,230）。它还比较了两组人群的心理困扰程度（总样本量N = 22,898）。数据来源于挪威的北特伦德拉格健康研究（HUNT）和人口登记处。父母离异的个体往往会推迟结婚或根本不结婚。然而，在那些结婚的人中，父母离异的子女的离婚率高于父母仍处于婚姻关系的子女。离异父母的子女倾向于与其他离异父母的子女结婚。这些婚姻的解体风险尤其高。在婚姻的头几年，父母离异作为一个风险因素特别有影响力。父母离异和个人自身离婚都是心理困扰的风险因素。
