Abstract	Using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, the authors explore how aspects of stepfather involvement are related to adolescent well-being and whether these relationships depend on maternal involvement, non-residential father involvement, or amount of time in the household. Results indicate that a close, nonconflictual stepfather--stepchild relationship improves adolescent well-being, but it is most beneficial when the adolescent also has a close, nonconflictual mother--child relationship. Engaging in shared activities with the stepfather decreases depression when the stepfather has been in the household for a longer period of time. The relationships between stepfather involvement and adolescent well-being are separate from nonresidential father involvement. (Contains 3 tables and 4 figures.) (Author).
