      ab: This study explored the learning and effects of teens and parents participating together in an educational computer divorce adjustment program. Thirteen pairs consisting of a child (12-17) and a biological parent, who had not been divorced for more than 3 years, volunteer to participate in a computer intervention and follow-up study. Volunteers came to the computer lab, took a short pre-test and played the computer game. A week later a post-test was mailed. One week after the post-test had been mailed, a 10 minute telephone interview with both parent and teen was conducted. Utilizing the divorce computer program did not statistically improve knowledge needed for divorce adjustment, as this well-educated sample had considerable mastery of divorce information prior to the study. However, parents and teens reported an increase in understanding and communication and a decrease in conflicts related to the divorce adjustment process as a result of taking the computer intervention.
