  • Stepping together

    Open AccessLawrence H Ganong, Marilyn ColemanARTICLEJournal of Family Theory & Review2025Referencias: 25

    We present our shared research journey. To place it in context, we briefly describe the history of stepfamily scholarship in four phases, highlighting our roles. We reflect on our mutual experiences as spouses who were research partners, and finish with thoughts about our contributions to the field. Although we occasionally examined sociocultural contexts within which stepfamilies lived, most of our attention focused on how stepfamily members dev…

  • Associations between dyadic relationship quality and stepfamily functioning

    Open AccessTodd M Jensen, Lawrence H GanongARTICLEFamily Process2023

    Clinical and empirical literatures have highlighted the value of attending to distinct dyads within stepfamilies to ensure the needs of various relationships are being met. From a family systems perspective, the growth and maintenance of positive dynamics within one dyadic relationship can yield gains in other relationships and shape the larger stepfamily environment. Research seeking to link information about dyads and larger stepfamily systems …

  • A Comparison of Attitudes About Paternal Child Support Payments in the United States and South Korea

    Kwangman Ko, Lawrence H Ganong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Divorce & Remarriage2023

    We compared attitudes about child support between the United States and South Korean respondents, using a multiple segment factorial vignette to gather quantitative and qualitative data from 132 Americans and 132 South Koreans. South Koreans were more likely than U.S. respondents to think child support should be paid. Respondents in both countries thought fathers should pay more child support when mothers had sole custody than when both parents s…

  • Patterns of Stepsibling Relationship Development

    Open AccessLawrence H Ganong, Caroline Sanner et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2022Citada por: 4Referencias: 21

    In this grounded theory study, we examined the processes through which 25 young adult stepchildren developed relationships with 71 stepsiblings. We also examined the interpersonal and familial contexts within which stepsibling relationships were formed. We identified six distinct types of stepsibling connections: (a) strangers, (b) distant acquaintances, (c) rivals, (d) ambivalent friends or frenemies, (e) friends, and (f) siblings. These relatio…

  • Marital Conflict and Health

    Nick Frye-Cox, Lawrence H Ganong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Divorce & Remarriage2021

    This study examined differences between first-married and remarried couples in marital conflict, physical and mental health, and the emotion regulation strategies of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. Marriage order and emotional regulation strategies were examined as potential moderators of the association between marital conflict and health. Remarried couples residing with a stepchild (n = 108) and first-married couples (n = 111)…

  • Families Are Socially Constructed

    Open AccessCaroline Sanner, Lawrence H Ganong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2021Citada por: 7Referencias: 30

    Scholars have long recognized that the boundaries of family membership and definitions of family relationships are socially constructed. The social construction of family membership, and the accompanying ambiguity surrounding family language and labels, particularly in complex families who have experienced divorce, remarriage, and other structural transitions, creates obstacles for recruiting study participants and for collecting, analyzing, and …

  • Perceived norms of child support payments

    Youngjin Kang, Kwangman Ko et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Studies2020Citada por: 2Referencias: 6

    The fulfilment of Child Support payments following divorce is important to ensure children’s wellbeing. Guided by a model of normative influences, we investigated how individuals perceived Child Support payments in South Korea and the United States and if they varied by child’s gender, custody arrangements, changes in the responsible father’s finances, and his financial obligations to an aging parent. Both quantitative and qualitative data were c…

  • A Dyadic Analysis of Emotion Regulation as a Moderator of Associations Between Marital Conflict and Marital Satisfaction Among First-married and Remarried Couples

    Open AccessNick Frye-Cox, Nick Frye et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2020Citada por: 4Referencias: 52

    We examined emotion regulation strategies as moderators of marital conflict and marital satisfaction between first-married and remarried couples. Remarried couples with a stepchild ( n = 108) and first marriage couples ( n = 111) with a child completed online surveys. Perceptions of both spouses were analyzed using actor-partner interdependence modeling. Although remarried spouses reported more marital conflict and lower marital satisfaction than…

  • Stepparent-Child Relationship Quality and Couple Relationship Quality

    Open AccessTodd M Jensen, Lawrence H GanongARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2020Citada por: 4Referencias: 39

    Stepparent-child relationships and new couple relationships are core pillars of stepfamily functioning and well-being. Although research generally indicates that stepparent-child relationship quality and couple relationship quality are positively associated, questions remain about in which contexts and from whose perspective this association holds. Using reports from parents and stepparents in a sample of 291 stepfamily heterosexual couples, we a…

  • Shared Children in Stepfamilies

    Open AccessCaroline Sanner, Lawrence H Ganong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2020Referencias: 35

    ObjectiveTo explore the lived experiences of shared children in stepfamilies (i.e., those born into a repartnered family who live with married parents and older half-siblings).BackgroundShared children have been found to fare worse than other sibling groups on a variety of outcomes (e.g., educational outcomes, antisocial behavior, depressive symptoms). Little is known, however, about the lived experiences of these individuals.MethodUsing descript…

  • Responsibility inferences and judgments about helping older parents and stepparents

    Open AccessLawrence H Ganong, Lawrence Ganong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2019Citada por: 3Referencias: 27

    The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of responsibility inferences on judgments about helping older parents and stepparents with activities of daily living, health management, and recovery in the aftermath of an illness or injury. Using Weiner's theory of responsibility inferences as a guiding framework, we evaluated (1) the amount of intergenerational aid adult (step)children should provide, (2) the extent to which adult (step)chi…

  • Studying Stepfamilies

    Open AccessLawrence H Ganong, Lawrence Ganong et al.ARTICLEFamily Process2018

    Historically, there have always been stepfamilies, but until the early 1970s, they remained largely unnoticed by social scientists. Research interest in stepfamilies followed shortly after divorce became the primary precursor to stepfamily formation. Because stepfamilies are structurally diverse and much more complex than nuclear families, they have created considerable challenges for both researchers and clinicians. This article examines four er…

  • Conceptualizing Family Structure in a Social Determinants of Health Framework

    Open AccessLuke T Russell, Marilyn Coleman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Theory & Review2018Citada por: 7Referencias: 16

    In this article, we propose the conceptualization of family structure as an important socially stratified grouping within a social determinants of health (SDOH) framework. We explore how family science literature supports this conceptualization of family structure through evidence of inequity in health outcomes across structurally diverse families that can and ought to be addressed; social stratification across family structures in which some fam…

  • Half‐Sibling and Stepsibling Relationships

    Open AccessCaroline Sanner, Luke T Russell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Theory & Review2018Citada por: 14Referencias: 13

    Increases in divorce, remarriage, and stepfamily formation have added complexity to sibling composition. Biological siblings have been found to be key players in children's lives, and relationships with half and stepsiblings also likely influence individual development and adjustment. In this systematic integrative review, we synthesize and critique 46 studies on half and stepsibling relationships, a literature that has seen marked growth in rece…
