Abstract
A review of recent literature on the effects of parental remarriage on the development of young children reveals that the data on the outcomes of divorce are profuse, but data on the effects of remarriage are sparse. The studies which do exist suggest that children of remarriage may experience a considerable adjustment challenge, but that the long‐range developmental effects are insignificant. The quality of family life appears to be more relevant to child development than family structure. Also, adjustment to remarriage seems to be easier for boys than for girls, and easier for young children than for adolescents.
