A Qualitative Analysis of Difficulties on Transition Days in Blended Families
Advances in Applied Sociology, 2017Co-Authors: Charity Perry-fraser, Rick FraserAbstract:The current qualitative research study focused on the difficulties experienced by individuals in stepfamilies or Blended families on transition days. A transition day is the day a child prepares to leave one custodial home and go to another, or vice-versa. Parents in various stages of stepFamily development and varying demographics were interviewed regarding transition day. The theme “difficulties” emerged throughout the coding process. Difficulties were further broken down into subthemes: difficulty and disconnect, difficulty and age of children, and difficulty and different households. Through a more in-depth understanding of transition days in stepfamilies, immediate assistance may be provided to families who are in various stages of stepFamily/Blended Family formation. Lastly, advice for current stepfamilies and future stepfamilies is discussed.

Transition Daze: A Qualitative Analysis of Transition Days in Blended Families
Psychology, 2016Co-Authors: Charity Perry-fraser, Rick FraserAbstract:The current research enhances the understanding of transition day for researchers and clinicians who focus on marriage and Family issues. A qualitative study involving 13 members (parents) of various stages of stepFamily development and demographics, is assessed. Interviews included questions for parents in a Blended Family and focused transitional day specific questions. By gaining a more in-depth understanding of transitional days in stepfamilies, immediate assistance may be provided to families who encounter difficulties during various stages of stepFamily/Blended Family formation. Useful approaches for current stepfamilies and future stepfamilies are discussed. Lastly, a new term is coined by the authors: “Transition Daze”.

associations between Family structure changes and children s behavior problems the moderating effects of timing and marital birth
Developmental Psychology, 2013Co-Authors: Rebecca M Ryan, Amy ClaessensAbstract:: Most children in the U.S. today will experience one or more changes in Family structure. The present study explores the implications of this trend for child development by investigating the conditions under which Family structure changes matter most to child well-being. Using data from the Maternal and Child Supplement of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (N = 3,492), it estimates how changes in Family structure experienced during 4 different developmental periods relate to concurrent and subsequent changes in children's behavioral trajectories. We estimate associations separately for children born to married and unwed parents to determine whether Family instability has different associations with children's behavior across policy-relevant Family types. Results indicate that changes in Family structure during the first 3 years of life predict children's behavioral development more consistently than later changes, changes into a single-parent Family have different implications for children's development than changes into a Blended Family, and changes in Family structure matter more for children born to married parents than children born to unwed parents.

One or two parents? Half or step siblings? The effect of Family structure on young children's achievement
Journal of Population Economics, 2005Co-Authors: Lisa A. GennetianAbstract:Do children who live with both biological parents fare better than children in other types of Family structures? Does the presence of step or half-siblings affect child well-being? This study examines the effect of Family structure on young children's achievement addressing two sources of potential bias: (1) misclassification of Blended families and (2) the omission of within-Family and individual time-invariant unobserved characteristics. The results show that Family structure, when defined using traditional classifications, has little effect on young children's achievement test scores. When the definition of Family type is expanded, living in a Blended Family and living in some types of single mother families, appears to have a small, unfavorable relationship with children's achievement.
