The article presents an overview of measures developed in quantitative studies on divorce. The overview is based mostly on articles published in 1980-2000 in American sociological journals. The measures proposed can be divided into two main groups: measures directly related to divorce and measures indirectly related to the phenomenon under study. The first group includes the measures which identify causes of marriage dissolution by divorce, risk of marriage dissolution, and evaluate the post-divorce adjustment process. Measures of the second group refer to physical and psychological health, marriage satisfaction, marriage adjustment process, interpersonal relationships after divorce, level of conflict after divorce, alternative relationships to the current marriage. In general, the remarkable development of measures used in quantitative studies on divorce, its causes and multidimensional effects is accompanied by the standardization of measures. However, due to many different measures applied in research on divorce it is sometimes difficult to compare their results directly. That difficulty might be reinforced by a lack of a precise description of measures used in the study which still is a case in some relevant publications on the subject.

The paper offers the overview of sampling procedures used in studies on divorce, limited to people who get divorced with extension to pre- and post divorce periods. It presents various types of random and non-random sampling, their advantages and drawbacks in studies on divorce. In a relatively broad overview of non-random procedures an attention is drawn to the fact that non-random sampling, often used in the case of no other alternative, usually does not allow for an statistical inference and has only a limited value for generalization of conclusions. In the final part sources of data used for the secondary analyses are discussed at length. Numerous examples of surveys are presented, which have been designed for different purposes, and are used for studies on divorce in various countries, like for instance the General Social Survey and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics in USA, the General Social Survey in Poland. That type of data source is becoming more and more important.
