New Study - Married or Dating with Children

Posted in Research About Stepfamilies at 10:22 pm by Dawn Miller

This study is specifically examining how parent-child and parent-parent relationships in families are interrelated, and how factors like stress, optimism and support impact those relationships. While I will be recruiting people from a wide range of family structures for the study, I am hoping to specifically recruit a reasonable number of stepfamilies in the sample to help address the general lack of research on this growing type of family. I find the dynamics of a step-family to be extremely fascinating and I am hopeful that this project will help shed some light on the unique strengths and challenges of such families.The “Married (or Dating) with Children” Study

If you are currently: in a romantic relationship, a parent or step-parent with at least 1 child living in your house at least 3 days a week, and you are at least 18 years old.
