Maternal Affective Attachment Bond Facilitators
The maternal perspective of the attachment relationship has been the focus of considerably less research in comparison to the volumes of studies conducted on infant attachment to mothers. A systematized review of the literature was conducted to gather and synthesize all the research published between 1990 and 2017 that has identified correlates and predictors of maternal affective attachment. The review found 37 articles relevant to the research …
A Literature Review of Cultural Stereotypes Associated with Motherhood and Fatherhood
In many societies, the iconic image of the family is that of a White, American middle-class, first-marriage nuclear family with two heterosexual parents and biological children. Research, however, has often neglected the complexity that exists within specific populations, particularly the impact of racial and ethnic diversity. The current review explores how motherhood and fatherhood, outside of the dominant North American cultural discourse, hav…
Raising Children in Heterosexual and Same-Sex Families
In recent years, there has been growing interest in studying coparenting across family structures. However, to date little is known about how women coparent with other women in stepfamilies. To better understand the lived experience of women who coparent with other women in either heterosexual or lesbian stepfamilies, this exploratory qualitative study interviewed 15 adult women individually. The data analysis helped us identify the main trends p…
Women’s Maternal Experiences in Canadian Stepfamilies
This study fills an important gap in the motherhood literature by exploring the experience of maternal attachment in women mothering in stepfamilies, and how it relates to their sense of competence as a (step-)parent. Forty-three Canadian women living in stepfamilies completed a series of self-reported measures on their (step)maternal experience. Results enabled us to create a portrait of the maternal experience of women mothering in stepfamilies…
Family Transitions and Children’s Well-Being During Adolescence
This study used longitudinal prospective data from a representative Canada-wide survey to assess the impact of childhood family experience on well-being during adolescence. First, we constructed family composition profiles to capture the number and type of changes in family structure that occurred in our sample over a 12-year period. Then, we examined links between initial family status, family composition profiles, timing of parental separation,…

La présente étude vise à témoigner de l'expérience de mères monoparentales québécoises vivant dans un contexte défavorisé en employant la méthode participative Photovoice. Six mères monoparentales ont participé à ce projet de recherche. L'approche phénoménologique sert de cadre théorique et oriente l'analyse des données, effectuée à l'aide de NVivo10. Les résultats permettent d'identifier trois thèmes principaux reflétant le vécu des participante…
Gender typing in stepmothers
Purpose Difficulties in defining stepfamily roles remain an important issue for its members. A potentially important factor in defining roles in the family is the identification with a particular gender type and how it relates to one's expectations about one's place in the family system. The purpose of this paper is to explore how gender typing processes inform our understanding of the stepmother role construction process, and its link with stepf…
Individual and Family Factors Related to Psychosocial Adjustment in Stepmother Families With Adolescents
This article presents additional data analyses from an earlier study on risk and resilience factors linked with adjustment in stepfamilies with adolescents. The primary objective addressed how individual and family-level factors impacted adjustment in a sample composed of 3 members (biological father, stepmother, and adolescent) from a subsample of 39 stepmother families. Multiple regression results showed that each stepmother family member's adj…
Risk and Resilience Factors Linked with the Psychosocial Adjustment of Adolescents, Stepparents and Biological Parents
Using data from three members (adolescent, stepparent and biological parent) of eighty (80) stepfamilies, the effects of individual, interpersonal and systemic factors in each member's psychosocial adjustment were examined. Using a risk and resilience framework, the primary objective addressed whether different factors would influence each type of stepfamily members' adjustment in similar or different ways. Multiple regression results showed that…
