- W2332366115 abstract "riage is monogamous and permanent; but since the divorce rate appears to be rising at approximately eight per cent each year (Chen, 1968:252) and an estimated eight million children are living with a stepparent (Simon, 1965:69), sociologists are beginning to focus more attention on the relations among steprelatives. We have come to recognize that remarriage creates not only new affinal relationships, but also new parental and relations. This paper considers two dyads in a reconstituted family: that between stepparent and stepchild and that between stepsiblings. Research into these phenomena has been sparse, although more work has been done on the relationship between stepparent and stepchild than on stepsiblings. Most of the research in the former area tends to be pessimistic. Typically, Fast and Cain (1966) contend that regardless of the desire and skill of the stepparent, success is not likely because our social norms make it impossible for the stepparent to take on completely the parent role, especially when there has been a divorce. Several investigators have found that the stepfather is more likely to establish and maintain a good relationship with his stepchild than the stepmother. probable reason why a stepmother experiences more difficulty is that she normally spends more time with the children than the stepfather, incurring more opportunity for disharmony because of proximity and the nature of her role. Benson (1968) notes that this can be attributed to the type of role the father plays, inasmuch as his role is more passive than that of the mother because his major function is implied in the symbolism of his presence. Bowerman and Irish (1962) also found that the role of stepmother is more difficult than that of stepfather. These authors believe that society is more apt to give assistance to the male stepparent and that males are more likely to find social acceptance in the step-role. Another reason is the myth in our culture which denigrates the stepmother-the folklore of the cruel and heartless stepmother. second area of inquiry-the stepsibling relationship-has been more neglected. Often two sets of children, one from the man's former family and one from the woman's, are brought together into the same household. More frequently, however, the father's children are weekly visitors and the mother's children are permanent residents. In either event, these children are suddenly thrust into relationships with each other and are expected to get along together. Not only have stepsibling relations been neglected, but so have the relationships among natural siblings (Irish, 1964). There are, of course, some studies which concentrate on the sociological aspects of the relationship and these have found such relationships to be strong, second only to those between parent and child. It has been suggested that sibling solidarity may be the fundamental kinship bond within bilateral systems (Pherson, 1954:199). Cumming and Schneider (1961) found that during some phases of the life cycle, for certain individuals, the tie with siblings is stronger than the tie with spouses. Several authors have noted the important functions the relationship performs (Kirkpatrick, 1963:248-249). possession of a makes the early socialization process more complete because it provides peer role models and training in cooperation, accommodation, and conflict management. Furthermore, siblings offer each other companionship, emotional security, and love. Having a means that one learns early how to share privileges and obligations. Finally, the relationship evokes the idea of fair play and provides an early concept of social reality. probability is high that these positive aspects of intrasib interaction eventually enter the stepsibling relation, although the degree of intensity is probably lower. Some researchers have pointed out the negative aspects of having siblings (Kirkpatrick, 1963:248-249). Difference in age, sex, and personality structure can partially explain dis*This article is based in part on an unpublished Ph.
