Greater Sophistication in Designing Stepfamily Research
Over the past 50 years, stepfamily researchers have gradually become more sophisticated in their approaches to the study of stepfamilies and more refined in how they conceptualized stepfamily relationships. This increased sophistication is not simply an artifact of new and improved software that aids...

Research Design and Research Model
This research follows a quantitative design. Whereas the number of laboratory experiments is rising (e.g., Hoyt & Blascovich, 2003; Kahai et al., 2004), longitudinal studies are also present (e.g., Carte et al., 2006; Howell & Hall-Merenda, 1999; Howell et al., 2005). Although the need for longitudinal...

This approach does not take into account community priorities, which may not align with...

The Arts in Health Psychology
