Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Recent evidence has shown that intervention programs for remarried people are scarce.

Furthermore, from what is known, no specific intervention models (traditional or web-based) has yet been developed for remarried Portuguese population. This study evaluates the efficacy of a web-based Psychoeducational Simulation Game on marital adjustment on marital social skills, on remarriage beliefs, on parenting attitudes, and on the stepfamily functioning.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will compare the efficacy of a Simulation Game Intervention versus control (no game) in remarried people that have (step)children. The participants will be randomized to the two groups. The Simulation Game contains three different modules to play: Module 1 - Conjugality (emotional divorce, financial issues, positive communication skills, conflict and stress management strategies, social support); Module 2 - Step-parenting (positive stepparent-stepchild relationships, development of relationships within stepfamily, step-parenting roles negotiation, stepfamily' unrealistic beliefs and develop share meaning); Module 3 - Co-parenting (positive co-parenting strategies and loyalty binds).
