This article describes stress and coping by decider status. Participants were 154 women aged 34 to 54 years who were recently divorced from their first marriage and were married 3 years prior to divorce. Participants self-selected into decider statuses as initiators, noninitiators, or mutual deciders. Noninitiators indicated not knowing the divorce experience was going to occur, not having enough time to get ready for it, saw it as something someone else did, and perceived it as a threat. Initiators and mutual deciders viewed the divorce as a challenge. Noninitiators were less positive about the divorce experience than were initiators and mutual deciders. Acceptance or resignation differed significantly for noninitiators and mutual deciders but not between noninitiators and initiators. Characterizing midlife divorce transition experiences provides a foundation for developing primary intervention to support personal growth, healing, and a healthy lifestyle.
本文按决策者身份描述了压力与应对方式。研究参与者为154名年龄在34至54岁之间的女性，她们刚结束第一段婚姻，离婚前已结婚3年。参与者自行选择成为发起者、非发起者或共同决策者等决策者身份。非发起者表示不知道离婚即将发生，没有足够时间为此做准备，认为这是别人的事，且将其视为一种威胁。发起者和共同决策者则将离婚视为一种挑战。非发起者对离婚经历的看法不如发起者和共同决策者积极。非发起者和共同决策者在接受或顺从方面存在显著差异，但非发起者与发起者之间不存在这种差异。描述中年离婚过渡经历为开展初级干预以支持个人成长、治愈和健康生活方式奠定了基础。
