家庭内部资源转移尚未得到广泛研究，作为一个可能有助于减少父母再婚中继子女相对于父母初婚中亲生子女的福祉劣势的过程。这里通过分析父母直接汇款与学业成绩（以入学率衡量）之间的联系来检验这一过程。我提出并测试了与此联系的一部分相关的两个替代假设，这明显适用于再婚继家庭的孩子——完整家庭中的孩子不具备该成分。适应性策略假说假设了一个促进福祉的独特组成部分，可操作为父母再婚中父母转移×继子女措施之间的积极互动效应。妥协使用假说假定了一种福祉受损的假说，意味着负面的互动效应。对 1997 年全国青年纵向调查前五波 18 至 21 岁青少年多年来的数据进行分析（Nyouth-age = 5,736，Nperson = 3,615）的两组结果支持适应性策略假说：(1) 交互效应（从父母获得的收入 × 父母再婚中的继子女）具有正向信号，并且 (2) 这种交互效应始终如一。积极的，无论年轻人是否有进入高中或大学的风险，即使链接的共享部分的方向（以父母收入的主效应来衡量）因学校教育水平而异。结果表明，在一些再婚继父母家庭中，存在着强有力的促进福祉的汇款机制，为儿童提供支持。
Intrafamily resource transfers have not been studied extensively as a process that may help reduce the well-being disadvantage of stepchildren in parental remarriages relative to biological children in parental first marriages. The process is examined here by analyzing the link betweendirectparental money transfers and academic outcomes, as measured by enrollment. I develop and test two alternative hypotheses pertaining to a part of this link, which distinctly applies to children of remarried stepfamilies—the component not shared with children in intact families. An adaptive strategy hypothesis posits a well-being enhancing distinct component, operationalized as a positive interaction effect between measures of parental transfers × stepchildren in parental remarriages. A compromised use hypothesis posits a well-being compromising one, implying anegativeinteraction effect. Two sets of results from analyzing data on 18- to 21-year-olds over multiple years (Nyouth-age = 5,736, Nperson = 3,615) in the first five waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 support the adaptive strategy hypothesis: (1) the interaction effect (income received from parents × being a stepchild in a parental remarriage) has a positive sign, and (2) this interaction effect is consistently positive, whether the youth is at risk of attending high school or college, even when the direction of the shared component of the link, as measured by the main effect of income from parents, varies by the level of schooling. The results suggest the presence of a robust well-being enhancing money transfer mechanism supporting children in some remarried stepparent families.
