Scientists discovered the highest divorce and farewell rate in two months

After 15 years of research, American scientists discovered that March and August are "peak" periods when couples often break up or divorce. The team claims it is the first time that farewell is modeled quantitatively on a large scale and through that, they suggest that if they intend to break up with their lovers, they should stay together through the summer and Christmas holidays. Born and then made the final decision.

The study was conducted by scientists in Washington and since 2001, they have begun to track divorce rates in Ohio, Minnesota, Florida and Arizona to form a large enough database. long years. On the other hand, the team also sought more social data in Washington to better understand the impact of the financial crisis on human life. As a result, the group found that every March and August every year, the divorce application rate increased suddenly and reached the highest level in the year. This model is still true over the years regardless of factors such as unemployment, housing market volatility, . allows the group to predict that it is the rounds of this 2-month holiday that have affected the decision. divorce.

Every March and August every year, the divorce application rate increases suddenly and reaches the highest level in the year.

Julie Brines, a member of the research team, said: "People tend to increase expectations for holidays, despite all the unhappy things they've been through throughout the year. Before each holiday, people often expect new things or new opportunities, such as a new beginning, change something or move to a new stage of life. optimistic cycle of feeling ".

But at the same time, vacations are filled with stress and frustration, causing many to make a divorce decision once they have had time to refine their financial resources and find a legal representative. after the holidays. The research has just been reported at the annual meeting of the American Scientific Association which took place at the end of the week, but the research has not yet been reviewed because the experts need time to independently verify the research method. .

However, this is not the first time and divorce has been explored by scientists. In 2014, a study showed that the month with the highest number of divorce applicants was in January, after the December holiday in the US rather than March as in this study. Although more research is needed to determine the problem, Brines believes that the period between January and March during the process of divorce, people still have to wait for children to go back or fall. at the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere countries. At the same time, the group acknowledged the limitation of the research, which was only conducted in the US, the sample size was not high and hopefully in the future there will be more diverse samples to produce the most universal results.
