Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

The researcher argues that the psychological problems of children of divorced parents may not be caused by the children’s difficulty adjusting to their parents’ divorce. Instead, the researcher proposes an alternative explanation: the children learn divorce-related bad behavior from their parents. This bad behavior could then be the cause of the children’s problems. By offering an alternative explanation, the researcher supports the conclusion that children’s psychological problems may not be caused by difficulty adjusting.

Identify Argument Part

The assertion that children of divorced parents have a higher rate of psychological problems is given as a known phenomenon that the researcher explains through learned behavior rather than through difficulty adjusting to divorce.
