Family Diversity and Well-BeingSAGE Publications, 1994 M07 15 - 299 páginas How important is family structure to family well-being and the success of family relationships? In an arena in which political rhetoric often substitutes for credible information, leading family researchers Alan Acock and David Demo separate fact from fiction regarding this crucial policy concern. Using data from the authoritative National Survey of Families and Households, the authors' work examines the four most common family types: two-parent families, divorced mothers with children, remarried families, and unwed mothers. Their meticulous analysis reveals the complexity of the questions at issue - family structure matters a great deal in some areas of family relations, and not at all in others. Leavening their sophisticated explications with ample graphics and practical examples, the authors of Family Diversity and Well-Being provide a clear, informative overview of the issues surrounding alternative family types for advanced students, professional, researchers, and policy analysts in family studies, sociology, psychology, interpersonal relationships, social policy, and gender studies. |
