Notes: The table presents ORs, OLS coefficients, and predicted time for family structure hypotheses (shown in Table 2) based on the full models in Table A2 (online appendix). The data include diary days from married and cohabiting parents in which at least one partner is aged 60 or older. Standard errors are shown in parentheses.

aa

p < .01 for H1b: difference from stepfamily, no joint children, biological children from each partner (F1 > F3).

b

p < .05 for H2a: difference from stepfamily, no joint children, biological children from each partner (F2 > F3).

bb

p < .01 for H2a: difference from stepfamily, no joint children, biological children from each partner (F2 > F3).

cc

p < .01 for H1c: difference from stepfamily, no joint children, biological children from one partner (F1 > F4).

dd

p < .01 for H2b: difference from stepfamily, no joint children, biological children from one partner (F2 > F4).

*

p < .05; **p < .01 for odds relative to the omitted category (i.e., biological family)
