有两个概念反映了当代家庭结构的动态和复杂性：家庭不稳定和多配偶生育。虽然这些情况可能同时发生，但它们各自的文献在很大程度上是独立进行的。作者使用了来自脆弱家庭和儿童福利研究（N= 3062）的数据，将动态家庭结构的这些维度一起考虑，并询问它们是否能独立预测儿童9岁时的行为问题。频繁的家庭不稳定一直预示着未婚母亲所生的孩子有更高的行为问题，这种联系在很大程度上被家庭压力相关因素削弱了。在已婚母亲所生的孩子中，多配偶生育与自我报告的犯罪和教师报告的行为问题密切相关。
Two concepts capture the dynamic and complex nature of contemporary family structure: family instability and multipartner fertility. Although these circumstances are likely to co-occur, their respective literatures have proceeded largely independently. The authors used data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (N= 3,062) to consider these dimensions of dynamic family structure together, asking whether they independently predict children's behavior problems at age 9. Frequent family instability was consistently predictive of higher predicted levels of behavior problems for children born to mothers who were unmarried, an association largely attenuated by factors related to family stress. Multipartner fertility was robustly related to self-reported delinquency and teacher-reported behavior problems among children born to mothers who were married.
