Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

Mason, et.al. found that stepparents were quite effective in supporting stepchildren, and
there were few differences in the ways they performed their caregiving roles. Stepparents
reported strong affection for their stepchildren, often seeking to acquire custody of the
stepchild or adopted child in second divorces. Stepparents supervised behavior and
homework, spent quality time with their stepchildren, and developed lifetime commitments
to their adopted children. Stepchildren generally accepted the authority of the stepparent,
and bonded strongly with the stepparent. Stepparents performed all the economic and
social support roles that biological parents did, disciplined children, but had some concern
about their legal standing in regard to the stepchild.
