  • 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…

  • 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)…

  • Perceived norms of child support payments

    Youngjin Kang, Kwangman Ko et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Studies2020Citada por: 2Referências: 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…

  • Shared Children in Stepfamilies

    Open AccessCaroline Sanner, Lawrence H Ganong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2020Referências: 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: 3Referências: 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…

  • Do Changes to Family Structure Affect Child and Family Outcomes? A Systematic Review of the Instability Hypothesis

    Open AccessKristin Hadfield, Margaret Amos et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Theory & Review2018

    Many children experience multiple family transitions as their parents move into and out of romantic relationships. The instability hypothesis is a stress mediation model that suggests that family transitions cause stress and that this stress leads to worse developmental outcomes. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the evidence base for this hypothesis. Thirty‐nine articles met the inclusion criteria. Most reports were secondary analyses…

  • What's in a Word? Naming Obligations

    Open AccessAshton Chapman, Lawrence H Ganong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2018Citada por: 1Referências: 36

    Although obligation is believed to be a central component of family relationships, empirical investigation of if, how, and to what extent connotations associated with terms commonly used to denote 'family obligation' affect exchanges of family support remains limited. In this mixed-method study, we explored the effects of words commonly used to denote family obligations (i.e., obligation, responsibility, duty) on perceptions of parents' and stepp…

  • Stepchildren Claiming Stepparents

    Open AccessLawrence H Ganong, Lawrence Ganong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2018Citada por: 2Referências: 22

    The purpose of this study was to examine the concept of stepchild claiming stepparents as parental figures or as kin. By examining the process of stepchildren claiming stepparents' as kin, we sought to explore the properties of the concept of stepchild claiming. From in-depth interviews of 26 stepchildren, we proposed a conceptual analysis of stepchild claiming, identifying eight properties of stepchildren claiming stepparents as kin/parents: deg…

  • Stepfamily Relationships

    Open AccessLawrence H Ganong, Lawrence Ganong et al.BOOKStepfamily Relationships2017

    "This second edition synthesizes the emerging knowledge base on the diversity of stepfamilies, their inherent concerns, and why so relatively little is still known about them. Its extensive findings shed needed light on family arrangements relatively new to the literature (e.g., cohabitating stepparents), the effects of these relationships on different family members (e.g., stepsiblings, stepgrandparents), the experiences of gay and lesbian stepf…

  • Assessing differences in intimate partner obligations based on relationship status, gender, and parental status

    Open AccessLawrence H Ganong, Lawrence Ganong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2016Citada por: 3Referências: 30

    The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of relationship status (i.e., cohabiting or married), gender, and parental status on perceptions about intimate partner obligations. In vignettes depicting various aspects of couple relationships, we measured the effects of relationship status, gender, and parental status on partner obligations, obtaining quantitative and qualitative data. Married couples were perceived to have greater obligati…

  • Like My Grandparent, But Not

    Open AccessAshton Chapman, Marilyn Coleman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2016Citada por: 7Referências: 15

    Families have become increasingly diverse and complex, which has made defining family membership more ambiguous. Issues surrounding family identity, belonging, and shared kinship are relevant in many types of complex families, but they are critically important for stepfamilies. In this study the authors examined stepgrandchild-stepgrandparent relationships; specifically, they explored how 27 stepgrandchildren (M age = 20.8) thought and felt about…

  • Stepchildren's Views About Former Step-Relationships Following Stepfamily Dissolution

    Open AccessMarilyn Coleman, Lawrence H Ganong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2015Citada por: 8Referências: 44

    Remarriages end in divorce more often than first marriages, so many stepchildren experience multiple parental divorces and the potential loss of significant family ties. Although there is substantial research on parent-child relationships after divorce, little is known about stepparent-stepchild relationships after divorce. Therefore, the authors conducted a grounded theory study of 41 adults who had undergone a stepfamily dissolution to explore …

  • Responsibility Inferences and Intergenerational Obligations to Parents and Stepparents

    Lawrence H Ganong, Lawrence Ganong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Divorce & Remarriage2014

    Beliefs about intergenerational obligations to assist older adults are known to be influenced by contextual variables such as the type of kin relationship (i.e., stepparent, parent) between older and younger adults. One contextual variable that has not been studied is the degree to which older individuals are seen as culpable for their problems. If older kin are perceived to be at fault for their problems, are they seen as less deserving of help …

  • Qualitative research on family relationships

    Open AccessLawrence H Ganong, Lawrence Ganong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2014Citada por: 23Referências: 34

    Qualitative approaches are excellent ways to investigate family dynamics and family relationships. In the present study, we identify four goals in which qualitative methods benefit researchers: (1) obtaining family members' meanings about family interactions and relationships; (2) acquiring family insiders' views about relational processes and observing family interactions; (3) examining families within contexts; and (4) giving voice to marginali…

  • Moving to Place

    Open AccessKatherine Patterson Kelly, Lawrence H Ganong et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2011Citada por: 3Referências: 37

    Few researchers have studied how parents from diverse family structures cope with childhood chronic illness. We designed this study to discern the childhood cancer treatment decision-making (TDM) process in these families. Using grounded theory, we interviewed 15 custodial parents, nonresidential parents, and stepparents who had previously made a major treatment decision for their children with cancer. "Moving to place" was the central psychosoci…

  • We're not living together

    Open AccessTyler B Jamison, Lawrence H Ganong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2011Citada por: 14Referências: 16

    Rapid and widespread changes in relationship formation and dissolution over the past 50 years have revealed new patterns in romantic and sexual relationships, particularly among emerging adults. In this study, grounded theory methods were used to investigate the role of one such pattern, stayovers, in the development of romantic relationships among 22 college students and college graduates. The results indicated that some young couples stay overn…

  • I'm a Loser, I'm Not Married, Let's Just All Look at Me

    Open AccessElizabeth A Sharp, Lawrence H Ganong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2011Citada por: 32Referências: 32

    Despite growing numbers of singles, the idealization of marriage and child rearing remains strong, pervasive, and largely unquestioned. Guided by life course perspective, the purpose of this article was to examine familial and societal messages women receive when not married by their late 20s to mid-30s. Using descriptive phenomenological method, the authors conducted 32 interviews with 10 middle-class, ever-single women. Respondents' social envi…

  • Acculturation and Latinos' Beliefs About Intergenerational Obligations to Older Parents and Stepparents

    Marilyn Coleman, Lawrence H Ganong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Intergenerational…2007Citada por: 1Referências: 19

    The purpose of this study was to assess how acculturation may influence the beliefs that Latinos hold about adult children's obligations to assist older parents and stepparents. Beliefs about intergenerational assistance were obtained from 195 Latinas and 167 Latinos from a randomly selected national sample using six vignettes that described situations in which an older adult needed help. Findings suggest that Latinos are bicultural-they maintain…

  • Living in the Gray

    Open AccessElizabeth A Sharp, Lawrence H Ganong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2007Citada por: 17Referências: 33

    Given the increasing trend of women delaying (or forgoing) marriage and the minimal scholarship on women's reflections of their life course trajectories, the purpose of the study was to examine the lived experience of White, college-educated women aged 28 - 34 years who have not married. Using descriptive phenomenology methodology, 32 interviews were conducted with 10 never-married women. Results suggested that their experiences were marked by un…

  • Measuring Intergenerational Obligations

    Open AccessLawrence H Ganong, Lawrence Ganong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2005Citada por: 13Referências: 7

    Researchers have defined intergenerational obligations in diverse ways, and they have used many labels and ways of measuring intergenerational obligations. Using vignettes, we compared responses to questions about what family members should do when another family member needed assistance (normative obligations) with responses to questions about what respondents would do if they were in the situation in the vignette (felt responsibilities). Felt a…
