Parental Reports of Adolescent Well-Being

Abstract We analyze data from the 1999 wave of the National Survey of America's Families (NSAF) to compare parental reports of the psychological well-being and attitudes toward school of 12- to 17-year-old adolescents residing with a cohabiting versus a remarried mother (maternal stepfamilies), and those residing with a cohabiting versus a remarried father (paternal stepfamilies). In maternal stepfamilies, cohabiting stepfathers report more positive adolescent attitudes toward school than do remarried mothers, cohabiting mothers, and remarried stepfathers. No differences in parental reports of adolescent psychological well-being or attitudes toward school are found in paternal cohabiting and married stepfamilies. Instead, in both cohabiting and married stepfamilies, the well-being of the parent is important in predicting his/her report of the psychological well-being of adolescents, and parental reports of problems with the adolescent and the adolescent's participation in extracurricular activities predict both adolescent psychological well-being and attitudes toward school. Adolescents in cohabiting and married stepfamilies are not affected differentially by the Most Knowledgeable Adult's (MKA) well-being, problems with the adolescent, and participation in extracurricular activities.
