“…This finding is consistent with previous research, which has generally indicated that stepfamily experiences can be gendered (Ganong & Coleman, 2017;Jensen & Howard, 2015). A number of studies have shown that female youth tend to struggle more than their male counterparts in the context of transitioning to stepfamily life, particularly when a stepfather is involved King, 2006). Although there appear to be some differences across profiles with respect to mother's education, a clear interpretation of these differences is elusive.…”

“…Also, nearly 80% of all stepfamily households in the United States are mother-stepfather stepfamilies. Moreover, previous research has supported a primacy-of-residence perspective, which highlights how residential relationships are especially influential in shaping outcomes in stepfamilies (King, 2006). Thus, we attended to the core dyadic relationships that comprise a residential stepfamily system; the final analytical sample was limited to include only adolescents with valid Wave I sampling weights who reported living with their biological mother and a stepfather (the use of sampling weights allows for the estimation of nationally representative model parameters).…”

“…We also recognize that the nonresident parent-child relationship is an important consideration in the context of stepfamily life and stepfamily resilience (King, 2006(King, , 2007; however, consistent with the primacy-of-residence perspective, we focused exclusively on residential stepfamily relationships in this study. The omission of nonresident father-child relationships also maximized our sample size, as some adolescents reported not having or not knowing their nonresident biological fathers.…”

Stepfamilies are an increasingly common context in which adults and children reside. Past research has examined family processes that promote family resilience, such as dyadic relationships marked by warmth, positive communication, satisfaction, and closeness. What remains less clear is whether various profiles of dyadic relationship quality within stepfamilies exist and operate to influence stepfamily stability. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, we conducted a latent profile analysis of mother-child, stepfather-child, and stepcouple relationship quality among a sample of 1,646 adolescents residing in married and cohabiting mother-stepfather families. Results favor a 4-profile solution, labeled high-quality, high-quality couple relationship, high-quality parent-child relationships, and low-quality. The identified latent profiles displayed differences with respect to family stability, or rates of remaining an intact family system 1 year later.

Consensual non-monogamy (CNM) is an overarching term for relationship orientations that differ based on the degree to which consensual sexual and emotional needs are fulfilled outside of a dyad. Despite the diversity of CNM relationship orientations and growing research examining CNM, it is unclear whether the sexual attitudes, inclination to approach/avoid sexual stimuli (i.e., erotophobia-erotophilia), and sociosexuality differ among individuals who identify with distinct CNM relationships. Further, as the agreements made in CNM relationships permit for extradyadic relationships, important differences might emerge for CNM and monogamous individuals. A convenience sample (N = 641) of individuals who self-identified as monogamous (n = 447), open (n = 80), polyamorous (n = 62), or swinger (n = 52) provided ratings of their sexual attitudes, erotophobia-erotophilia, and sociosexuality. Results indicated that swingers had the most permissive and instrumental attitudes, were the most erotophilic, and were the most unrestricted sexually. Conversely, monogamists scored the lowest on these traits. No differences emerged between relationship orientations for attitudes towards communion and birth control. These findings have important implications for sexuality research because they reinforce the view that some underlying differences and similarities exist between monogamous and CNM individuals.
