Partners Now Parents
Becoming a parent is a highly anticipated milestone for many couples, yet previous research suggests that most couples experience a sharp decline in romantic satisfaction. However, there are few virtual, group‐based couples prevention programs for first‐time parents. The present study examined the feasibility and effectiveness of a newly developed prevention program for the journey to parenthood, the Partners Now Parents program. Sixty‐six racial…

The Heroic Savior, the Jungle Guide and the Beacon Amidst a Fog of Uncertainty
This qualitative study aims to explore how fathers in prolonged post-divorce conflict construct their parenting agency and position their child in relation to their view of conflict-related threats. Eight divorced fathers were interviewed, with experience of, on average, seven years of high conflict after separation. A reflective thematic design supplemented with positioning theory was used to analyze the fathers’ responses. Drawing on positionin…
A Twin Study on Perceived Stress, Depressive Symptoms, and Marriage
Marriage is associated with reductions in both perceived stress and depressive symptoms, two constructs found to be influenced by common genetic effects. A study of sibling twins was used to test whether marriage decreases the proportion of variance in depressive symptoms accounted for by genetic and environmental effects underlying perceived stress. The sample consisted of 1,612 male and female twin pairs from the University of Washington Twin R…
Promoting Coparenting After Divorce
This study intended to explore how child custody evaluations might help in supporting parents during the transition of divorce to continue to be parents together. Sixteen Italian divorced parents were interviewed using an ad hoc semistructured interview. Data were analyzed by T-LAB software. Findings indicated a shift from the structural aspects of the intervention to the dynamic ones, as well as from an individual vision of the child to a more r…

Interparental conflict and the children of discord and divorce
Data on the relation between marital turmoil (i.e., discord and divorce) and behavior problems in children are reviewed. It is concluded that a relation between the two domains docs exist. Several parameters of this relation are outlined, including type of marital turmoil, form of the child's behavioral response, sex differences, age effects, parental buffering, and effects of parental psychopathology. Conclusions drawn from this review are used …
Children's Adjustment Following Divorce
The empirical literature on the longer-term adjustment of children of divorce is reviewed from the perspective of (a) the stressors and elevated risks that divorce presents for children and (b) protective factors associated with better adjustment. The resiliency demonstrated by the majority of children is discussed, as are controversies regarding the adjustment of adult children of divorce. A third dimension of children's responses to divorce, th…
The emotional sequelae of nonmarital relationship dissolution
This paper examined the emotional sequelae of nonmarital relationship dissolution among 58 young adults. Participants were recruited while in a serious dating relationship, and when it ended, were signaled randomly with beepers for 28 days to complete an emotions diary. Compared to participants in intact dating relationships, dissolution participants reported more emotional volatility, especially immediately following the breakup. Multilevel grow…
A genetically informed study of the processes underlying the association between parental marital instability and offspring adjustment
Parental divorce is associated with problematic offspring adjustment, but the relation may be due to shared genetic or environmental factors. One way to test for these confounds is to study offspring of twins discordant for divorce. The current analyses used this design to separate the mechanisms responsible for the association between parental divorce, experienced either before or after the age of 16, and offspring well-being. The results were c…

Peer network drinking predicts increased alcohol use from adolescence to early adulthood after controlling for genetic and shared environmental selection
Research consistently links adolescents' and young adults' drinking with their peers' alcohol intake. In interpreting this correlation, 2 essential questions are often overlooked. First, which peers are more important, best friends or broader social networks? Second, do peers cause increased drinking, or do young people select friends whose drinking habits match their own? The present study combines social network analyses with family (twin and s…
Rethinking Timing of First Sex and Delinquency
Family structure and age at menarche
Girls who grow up in households with an unrelated adult male reach menarche earlier than peers, a finding hypothesized to be an evolutionary strategy for families under stress. The authors tested the alternative hypothesis that nonrandom selection into stepfathering due to shared environmental and/or genetic predispositions creates a spurious relation between stepfathering and early menarche. Using the unique controls for genetic and shared envir…
A Genetically Informed Study of the Intergenerational Transmission of Marital Instability
Environmental or genetic influences, or both could account for the increased risk of divorce among the offspring of separated parents. Previous studies have used covariates to statistically control for confounds, but the present research is the first genetically informed study of the topic. The investigation used the Children of Twins Design with twins, their spouses, and their young adult offspring (n = 2,310) from the Australian Twin Registry t…
Overnight Custody Arrangements, Attachment, and Adjustment Among Very Young Children
Large numbers of infants and toddlers have parents who live apart due to separation, divorce, or nonmarital/noncohabiting childbearing, yet this important topic, especially the controversial issue of frequent overnights with nonresidential parents, is understudied. The authors analyzed data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a longitudinal investigation of children born to primarily low-income, racial/ethnic minority parents tha…

Early Adolescents and Divorce in South Korea
Divorce rates increased dramatically in South Korea in recent years, raising important questions about possible effects on children. In this study, we compared South Korean early adolescents from divorced and non-divorced families on measures of psychological problems, emotional pain, and parent-child relationships. Early adolescents from divorced families reported more internalizing and lower self-esteem, but not more externalizing. They also en…
Divorce Mediation
Mediation techniques have ancient roots, but divorce first emerged as a distinct practice only in the 1970s (Folberg & Taylor, 1984). The first law about divorce in the United States was implemented in 1981. At that time, California legislation mandated that all parents with contested child custody or visitation disputes must attempt before a custody hearing would be held. Since the enactment of the California law, the states of Arizona, Delaware…

Children of Abused Women
In this study, the individual and familial adjustment of a sample of 40 battered women and their children was compared with that of a sample of 40 community families. As expected, abused women were dramatically more distressed on a variety of measures than were community women. Significant but more modest differences were found between the groups of children studied. Both the sons and daughters of battered women received scores more than one stan…

Mediational screening in theory and in practice
Pillow et al.'s (1991) argument for mediational selection omits discussion of what may be the strategy's greatest advantage, the early identification of risk. The theoretical benefits to prevention of identifying developmental processes are briefly noted here. At the same time, practical limitations of mediational selection are noted, particularly in relation to establishing and interpreting the correlation found between mediational and outcome v…

Divorce mediation and resolution of child custody disputes
Separated parents randomly assigned to either mediation or traditional adversarial methods for resolving child custody disputes were surveyed nine years postsettlement. Noncustodial parents assigned to mediation reported more frequent current contact with their children and greater involvement in current decisions about them. Parents in the mediation group also reported more frequent communication about their children during the period since disp…

The Cohabitation Effect on Divorce
The rate of cohabitation in the United States continues to increase. Some research suggests that cohabitation leads to, or causes, relationship instability, as it is well established that people who cohabit prior to marriage are more likely to divorce. Alternative research implicates selection rather than causal effects of cohabitation because background characteristics of cohabitors explain much of the relationship between cohabitation and divor…

Coparenting Conflict, Nonacceptance, and Depression Among Divorced Adults
Using statistically imputed data to increase available power, this article reevaluated the long-term effects of divorce mediation on adults' psychological adjustment and investigated the relations among coparenting custody conflict, nonacceptance of marital termination, and depression at 2 occasions over a decade apart following marital dissolution. Group comparisons revealed that fathers and parents who mediated their custody disputes reported s…

Changes in Nonresident Father‐Child Contact From 1976 to 2002
To study changes in nonresident father contact since the 1970s, we pooled data from 4 national surveys: the National Survey of Children (1976), the National Survey of Families and Households (1987 – 1988), the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1996), and the National Survey of America’s Families (2002). On the basis of mothers’ reports, levels of contact rose significantly across surveys. Paying child support and having a nonmarital birth we…
