Perceptions of Deception, Divorce Disclosures, and Communication Satisfaction with Parents.
Thomas, Candice E.; And Others
Western Journal of Communication, v59 n3 p228-45 Sum 1995
Examines the impact of perceived parental deception regarding impending divorce on subsequent communication satisfaction with parents and self-esteem. Finds that respondents (131 students from 200 intact families) who felt deceived reported lower levels of communication satisfaction than those who had not felt deceived, and that self-esteem was negatively related to perceptions of parental deception at the time of divorce.
