“…Research shows that mothers are less likely to repartner than those who are not mothers, with varying effects according to the number and ages of children. Findings as regards men's likelihood of repartnering are more mixed (Coleman, Ganong, and Fine 2000;Poortman 2007;Wu and Schimmele 2005;de Graaf and Kalmijn 2003;Lampard and Peggs 1999;Sweeney 2002). Indicators about parenthood will be included in each model as control variables.…”

“…Divorced parents are less likely to form a (married or cohabiting) relationship than divorcees without children (Bumpass, Sweet, and Castro-Martin 1990;Chiswick and Lehrer 1990). However, children have been shown to affect women's and men's likelihood of repartnering somewhat differently (Coleman, Ganong, and Fine 2000;Poortman 2007;Wu and Schimmele 2005;de Graaf and Kalmijn 2003;Ivanova, Kalmijn, and Uunk 2013;Beaujouan 2012;.

“…Divorce is associated with a decline in family income (condition 1), and decades of social science research demonstrates that family economic resources play a significant role in children's education (condition 2) (Coleman, Ganong, and Fine 2000;Crosnoe and Cavanagh 2010;Duncan et al 1998;Lee and McLanahan 2015;McLanahan and Percheski 2008;McLanahan and Sandefur 1994). In addition to the strong impact on home, neighborhood, and school environment, health and emotional well-being, and procuring educational goods and resources, family income facilitates paying the increasingly high price of college (Goldrick-Rab 2016).…”

A substantial literature suggests that family disruption leads to lower educational attainment among children. We focus on how the effects of parental divorce on children's education differ across families with varying likelihoods of disruption. Using U.S. panel data, with careful attention to the assumptions and methods needed to estimate total and mediating causal effects, we find a significant effect of parental divorce on educational attainment among children whose parents were unlikely to divorce, for whom divorce was thus a relative shock. We find no effect among children whose parents were likely to divorce and for whom divorce was one of many disadvantages, and thus less economically and socially disruptive. We also find that the observed effect of divorce on children's education is strongly mediated by post-divorce family income. Children's psychosocial skills also explain a portion of the effect among children with a low propensity for parental divorce, while cognitive skills play no role in explaining the negative association between divorce and children's education. Our results suggest that family disruption does not uniformly disrupt children's attainment. UNEQUAL FAMILIES, UNEQUAL EFFECTS:HOW PARENTAL DIVORCE DIFFERENTIALLY IMPACTS CHILDREN'S EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT Family disruption has long been implicated as a critical event impacting the lives of children.Parental divorce negatively affects a variety of children's outcomes, including psychological wellbeing and academic achievement (see McLanahan, Tach, and Schneider [2013] for a review).Highly-cited research has shown that divorce is negative for children's educational attainment Prior research has also largely overlooked how the predisposition to experience parental divorce may condition the mechanisms by which parental divorce impacts children's education.We assess the degree to which decreased educational attainment among children in response to parental divorce is mediated by three factors: post-divorce family instability, family economic resources, and children's skills. Our study is thus motivated by two central aims. First, we assess how the effects of parental divorce vary across families with varying likelihoods, or propensities, of disruption. We hypothesize that family "disruption" is not uniformly disruptive. For some, such events require no more than a modicum of social-psychological and behavioral response. For others, such events are 3 unexpected shocks and necessitate considerable adjustment. The degree of disruption varies by the likelihood and corresponding expectation that such events will occur. Through examining heterogeneity in the effects of divorce by the observed likelihood that children experience a parental divorce, we shed new light on subpopulations for whom the causal effects of divorce may be considerable, modest, or even absent. Second, once we establish how total effects vary across families, we assess several key mediating effects, or mechanisms through which parental divorce affects children's educatio...

Assistant Professor : Kim, Yoojung Remarriage has been prevalent in Korea since the mid-1990s. Remarried families have reported that they face many challenges and difficulties. Life for those who remarry can worsen when the children from a previous marriage live together with new family members. It is interesting that some remarried families adjust well while others do not. This study focuses on developing a practice model for strengthening the resilience of remarried families with children based on a literature review. To understand and support remarried families, the resilience perspective was chosen, focusing on a strengths perspective with developmental, ecological, and preventative perspectives. In terms of resilience, the proposed practice model was developed on the basis of three concepts: belief systems, organizational patterns, and communication. The model can be used to help remarried families accomplish adequate integration by growing as a new family and can prevent another divorce. Moreover, it can assist practitioners and policy-makers develop programs and policies with a strengths perspective rather than a deficit or problem-oriented perspective. Based on the model, various programs need to be developed to strengthen the resilience of remarried families. The development of supportive programs is suggested. These can include remarriage preparation programs, remarriage life education programs, interactive web-based programs, and family camps. For a long time, remarried families have been labeled as abnormal and atypical owing to the normal family myth. This negative perception of remarried families must be altered so that they are accepted with a positive outlook in a society. For further studies, the development of diverse supportive adaptation programs for various types of remarried families and active research on them are recommended. The practice model can assist with the adaptation and growth of remarried families by strengthening their resilience. ▲주요어(Key
