Initiator Status and the Divorce Transition.
Buehler, Cheryl
Family Relations, v36 n1 p82-86 Jan 1987
Examined effect of initiator status on well-being and stress in 80 divorced parents at 6 to 12 (T1) and 18 to 24 (T2) months after the divorce. Found that initiators and noninitiators shared similar emotional responses to divorce but that initiators reported more change, stress, and personal growth at (T1), while noninitiators reported higher levels at T2.
