The article titled An Analysis of Schema Theory and Learning Theory as Explanations for Variance in Adolescent Adjustment to Divorce is research conducted with adolescents to see how well a child and his parents adjust to divorce. Researchers are trying to find a way to help children deal with divorce. Researchers are looking to see if there is a connection between a child's age and their gender that influences how they adjust to divorce. After looking to see if these two factors are linked, researchers also study to see if a child's relationships with his or her parents also play a role in the child's adjustment. This research was conducted to help understand whether schema theory had anything to do with children's adjustment to divorce. Considering all the possibilities, the researchers wanted to narrow the field using schema theory. It is said that schema theory is a way of thinking and does not want to change what you know. Another article titled Trust Ratings in Intimate Relationships and the Self-Perception Process is about trust and how any healthy human relationship should have it. This article explains how trust is what drives two people to work together, side by side, and helps strengthen their bond. Holmes and Rempel looked at different problems people had in trusting their partners. The participants had to take a couple of different tests to see how trust issues interfered with the relationships they shared. This research examines how an individual acquires trust and how certain factors can influence it. An individual's personal experiences might even influence a relationship they share. They may have been traumatized before. This also shows how one person in one relationship trusts their partner, and then how another group of participants in another relationship has problems.

Different types of questionnaires were administered to the children by students at Stellenbosch University. Adolescents who participated in the study took the Antonovsky Life Orientation Questionnaire, Hudson's CAM and CAF questionnaires, a series of questions measuring how adolescents felt about divorce, and questions about the adolescent's life. Schema theory was not found as a primary reason, the results provided very little evidence of how an adolescent behaved, how the adolescent approached his or her relationship with parents, or how the child behaved. adapted to divorce..
