ABSTRACT
The “incomplete institutionalization” hypothesis is that stepchildren situated in a parental remarriage (or a “blended family”) benefit less from parental resource transfers than do biological children situated in a parental first marriage; a remarriage has fewer rules and regulations over children’s use of these resources. In contrast, an extension of the incomplete institutionalization hypothesis, namely the “adaptive strategy” hypothesis, posits that stepchildren in a parental remarriage benefit more from money transfers from parents; parents in blended families are able to support and structure children’s activities even more with the transfers. I test these hypotheses with data collected from youths in the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY97). Results support the two predictions derived from the adaptive strategy hypothesis: a) income from parents has a larger positive (+) association with the likelihood of school enrollment among stepchildren situated in a parental remarriage than among biological children situated in a parental first marriage; and b) maternal parenting style, a measure of her supportiveness and demandingness, explains away this larger positive association. The results imply that remarriages today contain compensatory financial processes that can eliminate the relative schooling disadvantages of children in blended families. |
