Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Given that divorce is considered an adverse childhood experience (ACE), past research has found negative academic outcomes for children of divorced parents. However, divorce is so prevalent today that prevention efforts based on the resilience of those who experience it must be re-evaluated at the college level. Because life outcomes are so highly correlated with educational attainment, we present the stories of seven adult children of divorce (ACD) in college. By examining their stories, we explore ways to boost and sustain academic motivation through the lens of self-determination theory. Strategies and programs to help ACD meet their basic psychological needs through psychotherapy and campus resources are discussed.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
