Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context: The question relates to developmental psychology and the typical behavioral responses of children following a divorce.
Recall common psychological effects of divorce on children, such as emotional distress, anxiety, changes in behavior, and social adjustment challenges.
Evaluate each option by comparing it to established research findings: children often experience increased anxiety or emotional distress rather than indifference or sudden improvements.
Recognize that complete indifference or enhanced academic performance without emotional impact are less common and not supported by typical developmental psychology evidence.
Conclude that increased anxiety or emotional distress is the most consistent and supported behavioral response in children after a divorce.
