Specifically, marital status (married, divorced) was compared against degree of trust in government, technology, romantic relationships, family, and school. The study showed statistical significance (p \u003C .05) in terms of the relationship between marital status and romantic relationships. However, no other outcomes were significant (all p > .05) . These findings support the conclusion that children’s trust issues may be important considerations when dealing with the erosion of parental relationships. The findings also suggest that trust issues that may develop from parental divorce do not appear to generalize to other non-romantic-relationship domains.  \nIntroduction  \nTrust is a feeling that could be defined as a belief, faith or hope in a person, place or thing. Parents who are attentive learn to establish a form of trust with their children. It seems, however, that such trust can become jaded by events or circumstances. One such circumstance is parental divorce; in today's society divorce is becoming more accepted and the effects in has on families involved may be more important than parents have yet considered (Ross, 2009) . While parents may feel that the divorce will alleviate issues in the marriage, it might provide an unstable support system for the children involved. This lack of support can cause the children to develop trust issues (Coontz, 2007) . Having trust issues can be frustrating and pervasive; therefore, the degree to which parental divorce affects trust among young adults is an important relationship to be studied (Coontz, 2007) . It is especially important given the range of things that often require trust such as our government system, trust within current romantic relationships, trust within relationships with strangers, trust in technology, and even trust in motor vehicles. All these areas of underdeveloped trust play important roles in our lives. Lack of trust affects how we act and react in situations based off of positive or negative outcomes in our day-to-day lives.  \nParental Divorce could play a role in a child's future; however, there is a question if the timing and age of the children during the divorce play a role in how much trust is affected in the future of  \nthe children involved. Gender of the child might also be an important variable to consider because females and males may process information differently. Males and females view much of the world through different eyes and when it comes to trust levels it is also unmistakably true. When it comes to issues of the child involved in parent divorce studies show that children tend to be overly needy and sensitive yet lack full trust across the board due to the fear of loss that exists (Schaick, 2001) .  \nTrust issues expand beyond relations in one's personal life. It makes sense that people would have doubts in our government systems and politics in general due to all the controversies and conspiracies that exist today. Schiffman, Thelen, and Sherman(2010) concluded from their studies on cynical and non-cynical people that individuals who are politically cynical have a harder time trusting our politicians and government more than those who are less skeptical. Schiffman et. Al. did not include parental divorce, however, that does not disprove the ideology that those individuals, who are more politically cynical, are also children of divorced parents. Cynical people tend to be very skeptical people, this doubt could be stemming from deep rooted trust issues.  \nMuch research has been done concerning trust issues among intimate partners and parental interaction. It has been found that parental involvement within a child's upbringing is an important factor in the overall quality of that child's adult intimate relationships.
