Hi @Montunrayo-Bamgbose-Martins,

Happy to help!

The researcher tells us that children of divorced parents have a higher rate of psychological problems than other children.

The remainder of the passage is focused on explaining why this might be the case.

In this way, the phenomenon of children of divorce experiencing a higher rate of psychological problems (the "established finding" that the researcher outlines) is explained by the remainder of the passage (the "argument").

Hope this is helpful! Please let us know if you have any further questions.
