  • The Pregnancy-Related Objectification Beliefs Scale (PROBS)

    Open AccessSarah J Gervai, Olivia R Checkalski et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Women Quarterly2026

    A better understanding of reproductive objectification—people reducing pregnant women to reproductive objects—could have both theoretical and societal import, but no validated measures exist to examine this construct. The purpose of the present work was to develop and validate the Pregnancy-Related Objectification Beliefs Scale (PROBS). In Study 1, we generated a pool of items and conducted exploratory factor analysis to provide preliminary evide…

  • Lifetime Sexual Victimization and Dissociation

    Open AccessHaley Church, Rebecca L Brock et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2026

    The current study examined temporal associations between emotion dysregulation and dissociation among sexual violence survivors in a sample of 490 women. Results revealed higher levels of emotion dysregulation and dissociation among women who experienced sexual victimization in both childhood and emerging adulthood (i.e., lifetime revictimization), compared to women with victimization in either childhood or emerging adulthood (i.e., single period…

  • Navigating the Emotional Challenges of Grade School

    Open AccessMarla Lopez, Rebecca L Brock et al.ARTICLEFamily Process2026

    Although parenting is critical to children's emotional development, broader family processes can also play an important role in the development of anxiety and depressive symptoms in children. The current study examined the influence of early family strains (i.e., chronic stressors and resource deficits) on children's trajectories of anxiety and depressive symptoms throughout grades 1–4 via (less) responsive parenting at preschool age. Further, we…

  • Does Coparenting Quality Mediate the Link Between Postpartum Parenting Stress and Perceptions of Emotion Regulation During Parenting

    Open AccessSeth Finkelstein, Rebecca L BrockARTICLEFamily Process2025

    There is substantial research linking parenting stress to reduced parental self‐efficacy; however, the mechanisms under which this process unfolds are less clear. In a longitudinal, dyadic study of 144 parents and their children spanning postpartum to preschool age, we investigated whether dyadic coparenting quality (i.e., how partners work as a team to parent their children) explains the link between parenting stress and a key domain of parental…

  • Love Me Inside Out

    Open AccessOlivia R Checkalski, Chiara Pecini et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Women Quarterly2025Referencias: 14

    The purpose of the present research was to investigate how objectification manifests in romantic relationships and its determining features. Despite abundant literature on sexual objectification, there are few studies about body and appearance valuation between romantic partners. Therefore, we aimed to identify concrete behavioral exemplars of how objectification manifests and is interpreted in the context of romantic relationships. Likewise, we …

  • The object of my intoxication

    Open AccessRebecca L Brock, Sarah J Gervai et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2025Referencias: 56

    This study investigated dehumanization of one’s intimate partner and alcohol consumption as predictors of intimate partner aggression (IPA). We integrated theories of dehumanization, alcohol, and intimate partner violence to examine relational-level influences on perpetration of IPA, and conducted an initial test of a novel framework explaining IPA risk in a large college sample of coupled individuals. We robustly assessed partner dehumanization …

  • Adolescent health behavior profiles and associations with mental health in a longitudinal study

    Open AccessKatherine M Kidwell, Rebecca L Brock et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2025Referencias: 67

    To characterize adolescent health behavior profiles and associations with mental health, mixture models using data from two assessment points ( N = 201; Female = 53.7%, Time 1 m -age = 15.4 years; Time 2 m -age = 16.3 years) identified three distinct health behavior patterns. Profile 1 (27.9% of sample) had overall healthy behaviors (e.g. diet, physical activity, sleep), except nearly half tried e-cigarettes. Profile 2 (51.9%) had above average p…

  • The indirect impact of infant negative emotionality on interparental conflict via perceptions of coparenting challenges

    Open AccessFrances C Calkins, Seth Finkelstein et al.ARTICLEFamily Process2024

    Research clearly demonstrates that conflictual interparental relationship dynamics can create a family context that contributes to child emotional insecurity and psychopathology. Significantly less research has examined familial factors that contribute to maladaptive conflict between parents. Scholars have alluded to the disruptive impacts of parenting a child with certain temperamental characteristics (e.g., negative emotionality). Yet, there is…

  • The role of mutually responsive orientation in promoting relationship satisfaction for first-time and experienced parents

    Open AccessErin L Ramsdell, Frances C Calkins et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2024Citada por: 1Referencias: 52

    The transition to parenthood creates a context for family reorganization that can place couples at risk for declining relationship satisfaction; however, few studies have examined the experiences of parents navigating this transition while parenting other children in the home. Further, there is a critical need to identify factors explaining unique trajectories of relationship satisfaction and determine whether these factors serve similar function…

  • Does preschool executive control mediate the impact of early environmental unpredictability and deprivation on the general factor of psychopathology a decade later

    Open AccessEric M Phillips, Rebecca L Brock et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023

    BACKGROUND: Although deprivation has been consistently shown to increase risk for psychopathology through impaired executive control, the unique effects of other dimensions of early adversity, such as unpredictability, on executive control development are poorly understood. The current study evaluated whether deprivation and/or unpredictability early in life have unique effects on the general factor of psychopathology through impaired preschool e…

  • Learning from adversity

    Open AccessRebecca L Brock, Frances C Calkins et al.ARTICLEFamily Process2023

    The present study aimed to characterize the immediate impacts of the COVID‐19 pandemic on families with preschool age children and to identify pre‐pandemic factors that explained unique family experiences. We leveraged an ongoing longitudinal study of relatively well‐resourced community families who had reported on family functioning prior to the pandemic and completed surveys 6 months after pandemic onset. Both parents of dual parenting househol…

  • Promoting resilience to depression among couples during pregnancy

    Open AccessShaina A Kumar, Molly R Franz et al.ARTICLEFamily Process2023

    Pregnancy, while often marked by joy, may pose considerable risk for depression among parents. Against a backdrop of adverse life events, expectant parents may be even more vulnerable to developing symptoms of depression during the prenatal period. Thus, it is critical to identify sources of resilience that might facilitate a successful transition to parenthood among couples who have a history of adversity. Prior work suggests that interpersonal …

  • An Integrated Conceptual Framework Linking Attachment Insecurity to Increased Risk for Both Enacting and Experiencing Objectification

    Open AccessFrances C Calkins, Sarah J Gervai et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Women Quarterly2023Citada por: 2Referencias: 29

    Sexual objectification (i.e., reducing a person to their appearance, body, or sex appeal and functions) is a significant risk factor for negative health outcomes. In the present investigation, we examined multiple manifestations of objectification (i.e., objectification of others, objectification of self, and objectification by others) in an interpersonal context. We merged objectification theory with attachment theory, one of the most prominent …

  • Self‐compassion mediates the link between attachment security and intimate relationship quality for couples navigating pregnancy

    Open AccessTuyen Huynh, Eric Phillips et al.ARTICLEFamily Process2022

    Millions of couples navigate the transition from pregnancy to postpartum in a given year, and this period of change and adjustment in the family is associated with elevated risk for intimate relationship dysfunction. Self‐compassion has the potential to promote skills that are essential for healthy adaptation (e.g., emotion regulation, greater openness and flexibility, and more awareness of the needs of oneself and one's partner). The overarching…

  • Partner support and connection protect couples during pregnancy

    Open AccessShaina A Kumar, Rebecca L Brock et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2022

    Objective: The objective of the current study was to examine associations between daily subjective stress and relationship satisfaction as a function of two protective factors-partner support and connection (i.e., intimacy, passion, and commitment)-among couples during pregnancy. Background: Stress brought into the intimate relationship by each partner is often associated with relational dissatisfaction and discord, referred to as stress spillove…

    Morgan E April, Angela L Palmer-Wackerly et al.ARTICLEIdentity2022

    In this study, we explore the role of perceived identity change as it relates to chronic illness and psychological well-being. Individuals with chronic illnesses (N = 345, Mage = 34.08, SD = 11.23) completed a questionnaire assessing their diagnosis, perceived identity change, and psychological well-being. Results demonstrated significant differences within identity aspects (i.e., personal, social, relational, and performative) for both the amoun…

  • Attachment anxiety and avoidance predict postnatal partner support through impaired affective communication

    Open AccessFrances C Calkins, Rebecca L BrockARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2022

    Objective The purpose of the present study was to investigate perceived difficulties in affective communication as a key mechanism linking attachment anxiety and avoidance during pregnancy to the quality of postpartum support received by partners. Background During the postpartum period, partner support has the potential to promote family well‐being by mitigating stress related to changes experienced during this transition. Attachment security is…

  • Psychological and Physical Intimate Partner Aggression Are Associated with Broad and Specific Internalizing Symptoms during Pregnancy

    Open AccessGabriela Pérez, Gabriela R Perez et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    The present study identifies unique symptom manifestations associated with IPV for couples navigating pregnancy and suggests psychological aggression can be more detrimental to mental health than physical aggression. To promote maternal perinatal mental health, clinicians should screen for covert forms of psychological aggression during pregnancy (e.g., raised voices, insults), trauma-related distress, and symptom elevations in women and their pa…

  • Interparental Relationship Quality During Pregnancy

    Open AccessErin L Ramsdell, Rebecca L BrockARTICLEFamily Process2021

    Las investigaciones demuestran el papel fundamental que desempeñan las relaciones entre madre e hijo en el desarrollo socioemocional del niño; sin embargo, las familias son sistemas complejos, y los papeles únicos que desempeñan los múltiples subsistemas familiares en el desarrollo temprano del bebé han recibido menos atención. En el presente estudio, investigamos el papel que desempeñan varias relaciones familiares (interparentales, mamá‐bebé, p…
