Emotional well-being of separated and married women: long-term follow-up study.
Separated and married women were studied longitudinally. Recently separated women reported more growth-oriented coping and positive life changes than did married women, but no significant differences were evident six years later. Life strains at early time intervals predicted emotional well-being at the last time interval, and coping served a stress-buffering function over time.
