Coping With Divorce, Single Parenting, and Remarriage
In this volume leading researchers offer an interesting and accessible overview of what we now know about risk and protective factors for family functioning and child adjustment in different kinds of families. They explore interactions among individual, familial, and extrafamilial risk and protective factors in an attempt to explain the great diversity in parents' and children's responses to different kinds of experiences associated with marriage…

The Longitudinal Influence of Coparenting Conflict on Parental Negativity and Adolescent Maladjustment
This study addresses two limitations of coparenting research: first, little research on coparenting has been conducted with families of adolescents, and second, there is little understanding regarding the child and family contexts in which coparenting is most salient. The longitudinal relation of coparenting conflict to parenting and adolescent maladjustment across 3 years was investigated among 516 2-parent, 2-adolescent families. Coparenting co…
Social Support and the Adjustment of Children in Divorced and Remarried Families
This article draws together some of the key findings to emerge from research - in particular, from three longitudinal studies that the author was involved in - on children's and adult's adjustment to divorce, the risks children encounter after divorce, and the social factors that protect them or make them more vulnerable to adversity. Through collating this evidence, the article suggests that it is the diversity, not the inevitability of any one …

The Relation between Observational Measures of Social Problem Solving and Familial Antisocial Behavior
Deficits in social problem‐solving skills are often associated with antisocial behavior, particularly in children’s extrafamilial relationships. The current study was designed to examine this association in several new ways: the association was examined at two times in an adolescent sample within the context of the family; genetic models were used to estimate genetic and environmental effects on observational measures of problem solving and antis…

Contemporary research on parenting
Current findings on parental influences provide more sophisticated and less deterministic explanations than did earlier theory and research on parenting. Contemporary research approaches include (a) behavior-genetic designs, augmented with direct measures of potential environmental influences; (b) studies distinguishing among children with different genetically influenced predispositions in terms of their responses to different environmental cond…
The Adjustment of Children with Divorced Parents
This review addresses major questions about divorce, around which much contemporary research is oriented. These involve questions of the consequences of divorce for the adjustment of children and the vulnerability and resiliency of children in coping with divorce, whether children are better off in a conflictual intact family situation or a divorced family, and how mothers, fathers, and clinical or educational interventions can moderate the effec…
Parental Religiosity, Parenting Style, and Adolescent Social Responsibility
The hypotheses that parental religiosity would predict authoritative parenting and adolescent social responsibility were tested using data from fathers, mothers, and adolescents 10 through 18 years of age from 486 mostly Caucasian middle-class families participating in the Nonshared Environment (NSE) Study. Ratings of authoritative and authoritarian parenting were provided by trained observers using the Family Interaction Global Coding System. Su…
Adolescents' relationships to siblings and mothers
Research has consistently demonstrated that children's behavior toward their siblings tends to resemble interactions occurring in the parent-child relationship. This study examined the relative contributions of genetic and environmental influences to the covariation between sibling relationships and mother-adolescent relationships. Reported and observed family interactions were assessed for 719 same-sex sibling pairs of varying degrees of genetic…
Relationships between parenting and adolescent adjustment over time
The predictive association between parenting and adolescent adjustment has been assumed to be environmental; however, genetic and environmental contributions have not been examined. This article represents one effort to examine these associations in which a genetically informative design was used. Participants were 395 families with adolescent siblings who participated in the Nonshared Environment in Adolescent Development (D. Reiss et al., 1994)…
The importance of shared environmental influences in explaining the overlap between mother's parenting and sibling relationships
This article addresses concerns raised by M. C. Neale (1999) in his commentary on the D. A. Bussell et al. (1999) Nonshared Environment in Adolescent Development (NEAD) study. These concerns fall into two categories: (a) model assumptions and sample design and (b) testing of alternative models. The validity of the assumptions of quantitative genetic models is a concern for all researchers in this area. Discussion of those assumptions in this repl…

Adolescent perceptions as mediators of parenting
Explaining how genetic factors contribute to associations between parenting and adolescent adjustment is an important next step in developmental research. This study examined the mediating effect of adolescent perceptions on these associations and the genetic and environmental influences underpinning the mediated relationship. Parent, adolescent, and observer ratings of parenting and adolescent adjustment were used in a genetically informative sa…

Systems and Bidirectional Influences in Families
Family systems theory and bidirectionality are two models that seek to explain the nature of relationship influences on children's and adults' development. Points of convergence and divergence between the models are discussed and empirically examined in a sample of 72 nondivorced and 56 stepfather families. A multirater, multimethod design was used to model effects of family relationships on adolescent social competence, cognitive agency, and ext…
Family environment and adolescent depressive symptoms and antisocial behavior
Measures of family environment often show substantial differences between children in the same family and are thus nonshared environment candidates. A key question is whether differential environments are related to differential outcomes when genetic differences between children in the same family are controlled. Parent and child reports and observations of family interactions were used to assess familial negativity and adolescents' depressive sy…
Genetic Contributions to Adolescents' Extrafamilial Social Interactions
The purpose of the present study was to investigate genetic and environmental contributions to individual differences in adolescents' social interactions outside the family. We investigated sibling resemblance for adolescents' reports of interactions with best friends and teachers, and parents' perceptions of adolescents' peer groups in 701 same‐sex adolescent sibling pairs aged 10‐18, using a twin, full sibling, and step sibling design. Our goal…
Parent ratings of EAS temperaments in twins, full siblings, half siblings, and step siblings
A twin/family design was used to explore genetic contributions to personality; to evaluate whether twins and nontwins yield different genetic results; and to test for the presence of contrast effects, the tendency of a rater to contrast one sibling with the other, thereby magnifying existing behavioral differences. The sample consisted of 708 adolescent same-sex sibling pairs from 10 to 18 years of age. Pairs included identical (monozygotic; MZ) …
Nature and nurture
Research suggests that measures of the family environment show genetic effects when treated as phenotypes in behavioral genetic analyses. We explored this issue as part of the Nonshared Environment in Adolescent Development project using diverse questionnaire measures of parent-child and sibling interactions. The sample consisted of 707 pairs of siblings from 10 to 18 years of age in a novel design (identical and fraternal twins and full siblings…

Effects of father absence on personality development in adolescent daughters
The effects of father absence due to divorce or death on adolescent girls were investigated. Few deviations in traditional measures of sex-role typing were obtained; however, disruptions in interactions with males occurred. In the daughters of divorcees this took the form of proximity seeking and attention seeking from males, early heterosexual behavior, and various forms of nonverbal communication associated with openness and responsiveness. In …

Play and Social Interaction in Children Following Divorce
This paper presents the results of a longitudinal study of the effects of divorce on play and social interaction in children. Forty‐eight middle class white preschool children from divorced families and a matched group of forty‐eight non divorced families were studied at 2 months, 1 year and 2 years after divorce. In the first year following divorce disruptions were found in both play and social relations for boys and girls from divorced families…

Parent-child interaction and gender differences in early adolescents' adaptation to stepfamilies
This study examined gender differences in early adolescents' adaptation to mother-custody stepfamilies and extended previous work that found that girls have more difficulties adjusting to these stepfamilies than do boys. Parent-child interaction was compared in mother-custody stepfamilies and intact families, with a focus on gender-of-child effects on parent-stepparent behavior toward child and child behavior toward parent-stepparent

This article compares the results of two longitudinal studies on the effects of divorce and remarriage on children's adjustment, one involving preadolescent children and one involving early adolescent children. With younger children the adverse effects of divorce and life in a single parent household headed by a divorced custodial mother are more marked and enduring for sons than for daughters. In contrast, although both male and female preadoles…
Transformations in Family Relations at Puberty
Previous research has identified transformations in family relationships that occur during early adolescence in part as a function of the child's pubertal development. A longitudinal, multimethod, multimeasure study of family adjustment to remarriage was conducted to examine how these transformations might be altered as a function of concomitant adjustment to family reorganization in single-mother and stepfamily homes. It was found that transform…
