TITLE

” An Assessment of the Influence of Parents Separation on Grade 11 and 12

Students of Immaculate Conception Academy in Terms of Psychological Impact.”

II. AIM/OBJECTIVITY

The objective of this study is to assess the influence of parents’ separation on

Grade 11 and 12 students of Immaculate Conception Academy in terms of

psychological impact. The goal of this project is to ascertain what will be the effect

of separated parents on children, since this is a serious issue that affects children’s

mental health, it may also have an impact on the child’s behavior and academic

performance.

III. BACKGROUND

Each year, millions of children around the globe face family disruption, and

in many countries, number of broken family and separated parents are rising. Many

studies show that family conflict plays a central role in child maladjustment.

Parental separation is a major adverse childhood experience. Parental separation is

generally preceded by conflict, which is itself a risk factor for child problem behavior.

Separation often produces a substantial decline in the children’s standard of

living, increasing economic instability and stress in the custodial home. These

changes intensify the stress of separation’s disruptiveness for children and affect

their long-term adjustment (Kelly 1993; Amato 1994).

guilt, misconceptions, anger, loyalty conflicts, worry and grief. Many children

experience feelings of loss when one parent moves out of the family residence, or

even when they are with one parent and miss the other. In situation of intense

conflict and domestic violence, children may have a sense of relief. Their actions may

vary depending on their ages, but nearly all children share a universal worry: “What’s

going to happen to me?”

A separation is a highly stressful and emotional experience for everyone

involved, but children often feel that their whole world has turned upside down. At

any age, it can be traumatic to witness the dissolution of your parents’ marriage and

the breakup of the family. Some may even feel guilty, blaming themselves for the

problems at home. Children consistently say that loss of regular contact with their

non-residential parent is the worst thing about their parents’ divorce (Kelly 1993).

Most children say they want contact (or more contact) with their non-residential

parent (Lamb et al. 1997).

There are many factors that can reduce risks and promote children’s resilience.

The three biggest factors that impact children’s well-being during and after their

parents’ separation are partially within parents’ control: the degree and duration of

hostile conflict, the quality of parenting provided over time, and the quality of the

parent-child relationship. Underlying these, of course, are parents’ own well-being

and ability to function effectively. By learning on how to manage their conflict, parent

effectively, and nurture warm and loving relationships with their children, parents

can have a powerful, positive effects on their children, even as they undergo multiple

difficult changes on their own lives.

This research is limited to the students of Immaculate Conception Academy

from Grade 11 and 12. To initiate the survey for students in grades 11 and 12, a

written request will be made to the director or administrator of the school. As soon

the school principal gave his approval, we will launch the poll to determine whether

or not the student’s lives are stressful. Furthermore, this study narrowed down its

scope and focused on the assessment of students who have been experience broken

family or parental separation.

V. APPROACH/METHODOLOGY

This study utilizes a descriptive- survey design. Surveys are frequently used in

research designs (usually in the form of a questionnaire), and in this study, a survey

is used to assess the knowledge of Immaculate Conception Academy Senior High

School students about the impact of broken families on their mental development

and academic success. The respondents of the main target of this study are children

from a parental separation in Immaculate Conception Academy. Among the number

of students from Immaculate Conception Academy, 20 students will randomly

sample from among the impossible respondents, and they were selected as the

survey interviewees. This study perceived that the selected respondents represent

the general psychological impact and the effect of parental separation on children's

resilience in a sample of children who had experienced significant and potentially

severe trauma.
VI. PROJECT TEAM

Before the research begins, we discuss the data expectations and clearly divide

and establish who is responsible for each task. Our role is to gain access to the study

participants' thoughts and feelings. We will test participants by our proposed

methods. We have decided that Krizzia will conduct a survey for the selected Senior

High School students at Immaculate Conception Academy on topics that are very

personal to them. Fhrancess’ primary responsibility is to protect the selected

students and their data.

VII. OUTCOME

The study highlighted the benefits of being a student from a broken family and

examined a student's coping mechanisms and strategies. There should be an action

plan implemented in our school to assist Senior High School students from broken

families in achieving academic success; a peer facilitating group, team building,

training, and symposia should be included in the school guidance program to cater

to these students' behavioral and academic needs; and Immaculate Conception

Academy should create a peer facilitating group spearheaded by a guidance

counselor/ adviser to have a regular monitoring.
