Boundary Ambiguity in Remarriage: Does Ambiguity Differentiate Degree of Marital Adjustment and Interaction?

Pasley, B. Kay; Ihinger-Tallman, Marilyn

Family Relations, v38 n1 p46-52 Jan 1989

Examined differences between 216 spouses in remarriages classified as having low or high boundary ambiguity. Found high boundary ambiguity to be more prevalent in certain types of remarriages (stepmother families with nonresidential children). Few significant differences were found when wives were compared with wives and husbands with husbands in remarriages characterized by low and high ambiguity. (Author/NB)
