Intrapsychic and interpersonal factors related to adolescent psychological well-being in stepmother and stepfather families

Article Abstract:

Interpersonal factor of communication with the stepparent and the intrapsychic factor of self esteem are the best predictors of adolescent well being in stepmother families. However, the only interpersonal factor predictive of their well-being in stepfather families is communication with stepparent. Adolescent age at divorce acts as a predictor of positive affect in their subjective well-being. An analysis of adolescents from stepparents' families regarding the interpersonal and intrapsychic predictors of their well-being using transition theory is given.
