Abstract:

The study aimed to verify the relationships between the child gender and the custodian, the child age at divorce, and its relationship to the attitude towards parents among children with parental alienation syndrome at the end of the custody age. The study relied on the descriptive-analytical method. The sample consisted of 102 cases whose ages ranged from 16 to 21 years old. The sample was chosen intentionally. The study relied on the diagnostic list of symptoms of parental alienation to select the sample. The study prepared a measure of attitude towards parents. A chi-square test used for the independence of two variables to analyze the required relationships. The study concluded that there is a dependence of the custodian gender variables and the attitude towards the target parent levels. While the variables of the level of attitude towards the target parent and the child's gender were independent, the levels of attitude towards the target parent and the dominant parent were independent.
