Abstract

ABSTRACT Despite the potential importance of kin to divorced parents in particular, prior research rarely studied how kinship patterns vary between married and divorced parents, nor within-group variations depending upon postdivorce residence arrangements and repartnering. We estimated mixed-effects logistic regression models using data from samples of Dutch married (N = 1,336) and divorced parents (N = 3,464) to predict the extent to which parents considered various blood relatives and (former) in-laws kin (i.e. parents, siblings, aunts/uncles, nieces/nephews, and cousins) and investigated differences within the divorced group per residence arrangements and repartnering. We found that married and divorced parents barely differed in the extent to which they considered blood relatives kin, but differences were large for (former) in-laws, and particularly great when parents did not reside with their biological child. Repartnered divorced parents were less likely to consider their former in-laws kin than single divorced parents but considered their new in-laws kin to high extents. For both blood relatives and (former) in-laws, parents were most often, and cousins least often considered kin. These results indicate that kinship patterns only differ for in-laws between married and divorced parents. Resident children may lead parents to consider former in-laws kin, whereas repartnering leads to exclusion of former in-laws.

已婚和离异的父母认为谁是亲属?

尽管亲属关系对离婚父母的潜在重要性尤其重要，但之前的研究很少研究已婚和离婚父母之间的亲属关系模式如何变化，也很少研究群体内的差异，这取决于离婚后的居住安排和再婚。我们使用来自荷兰已婚(N = 1336)和离婚父母(N = 3464)样本的数据估计混合效应逻辑回归模型，以预测父母考虑各种血亲和(前)姻亲(即父母，兄弟姐妹，阿姨/叔叔，侄女/侄子和堂兄弟姐妹)的程度，并调查离婚组内居住安排和重新合作的差异。我们发现，已婚和离婚的父母在血缘关系上几乎没有差别，但对于(前)姻亲来说，差异很大，当父母没有和他们的亲生孩子住在一起时，差异尤其大。与单身离婚父母相比，再婚的离婚父母不太可能考虑他们的前公婆亲戚，但他们会高度考虑他们的新公婆亲戚。对于血亲和(前)姻亲来说，父母是最常见的，堂兄弟姐妹是最不常见的。这些结果表明，亲属关系模式仅在已婚和离婚的父母之间存在差异。常驻子女可能会导致父母考虑前公婆的亲属，而重新合作则会导致将前公婆排除在外。

期刊介绍： European Societies, the flagship journal of the European Sociological Association, aims to promote and share sociological research related to Europe. As a generalist sociology journal, we welcome research from all areas of sociology. However, we have a specific focus on addressing the socio-economic and socio-political challenges faced by European societies, as well as exploring all aspects of European social life and socioculture. Our journal is committed to upholding ethical standards and academic independence. We conduct a rigorous and anonymous review process for all submitted manuscripts. This ensures the quality and integrity of the research we publish. European Societies encourages a plurality of perspectives within the sociology discipline. We embrace a wide range of sociological methods and theoretical approaches. Furthermore, we are open to articles that adopt a historical perspective and engage in comparative research involving Europe as a whole or specific European countries. We also appreciate comparative studies that include societies beyond Europe. In summary, European Societies is dedicated to promoting sociological research with a focus on European societies. We welcome diverse methodological and theoretical approaches, historical perspectives, and comparative studies involving Europe and other societies.
