Cui, M., Fincham, F. D., & Ddurtschi, J. A. (2011). The effect of parental divorce on young adults'    
     romantic relationship dissolution: What makes a difference?. Personal Relationships, 18(3),  

     410-426. 

 
4) Next, in your own words, briefly summarize the topic of the scholarly article you identified.

In this article found on Ebsco Academic Search Premier, "The effect of parental divorce on young adults’ romantic relationship dissolution: What makes a difference?", there was a statement made that said parental divorce does not have an effect on young adults' romantic relationships and that differential outcomes depend on how young the teens were while the divorce was taking place. After their findings these researcher's have found that the young adult's romantic relationship dissolution was linked with their parents divorce.

 

5) What method of research did the scholars use to study their topic (all of this should be in the introduction section).

To find information on this topic the researcher's conducted a survey on 571 young adults and with their collected data then used structural equation modelling to form graphs, tables and charts.

 

6) Did they report the findings in a graph or table form? Were the graphics clear, and/or helpful?

Yes in this article the reported findings were in table form, and in diagram form. The graphs were clear and helpful because it layed out their findings and there were little note descriptions under each table/diagram which explained each table and diagram.
