Remarriage, stepchildren, and marital conflict: challenges to the incomplete institutionalization hypothesis

Article Abstract:

The hypothesis that marital conflict is more common in stepfamilies than biological families was analyzed. Findings revealed that remarriage and stepchildren do not necessarily bring about instability within the family. However, families with stepchildren experience more conflict than those with biological children when marriages are of longer duration. Marriages of shorter duration experience greater instability when offsprings are exclusively stepchildren.

A tutorial in logistic regression

Article Abstract:

Logistic regression is a useful technique in social data analysis. Personal happiness is used as a variable to illustrate the properties of the technique. Happiness is treated as dichotomous, distinguishing people who are not too happy from everyone else, to predict the odds of being less happy with life. The exercise affirmed the flexibility of logistic regression in handling ordinal and qualitative response variables.
