Family Social Capital and Role Redefinitions in Italian Stepfamilies From the Perspective of Young Adult Children
In the past decade, Italy has experienced a surge in separations and divorces, resulting in an increase in second marriages and stepfamilies. However, little attention has been paid to family dynamics in the ‘divorcescapes’ from the perspective of children in the Italian context. This study explores the social capital of stepfamilies, considering their configurations, reciprocity and trust between the different stepfamily members, while analysing…

Research Findings: The Incredible Years Teacher Classroom Management (IY-TCM) program is an evidence-based intervention intended to promote the social and emotional skills of children and to reduce the frequency of inappropriate types of behavior. This paper reports on its initial implementation in Portugal. The primary aim of this study is to establish preliminary evidence on the social skills of Portuguese children and behavioral difficulties a…
The process in‐between
Practitioners are recognized as one of the key components that make parenting interventions meaningful and helpful to families, and the impact of practitioners' skills on the outcomes of parenting interventions has been consistently recognized in research. However, the mechanisms and ongoing processes through which the practitioners' actions and skills may impact parental engagement and other outcomes remain unknown. This qualitative study explor…
Do we get what we expect? A qualitative study of preschool teachers’ experiences with the Incredible Years® Teacher Classroom Management program
The Incredible Years® Teacher Classroom Management program (IY-TCM) is an evidence-based program with documented effectiveness and positive outcomes for teachers, children and parents. However, most of the research relies on quantitative approaches, with fewer qualitative studies exploring teachers’ personal perspectives. The aim of this study is to explore the teachers’ experiences when they got training on the IY-TCM. This study was a qualitati…
Effects of a Teacher Classroom Management program on preschool teachers’ practices and psychological factors
Research Findings: The Incredible Years Teacher Classroom Management (IY-TCM) program has shown efficacy in reducing behavioral problems and improving social skills among children experiencing poverty. However, quantitative studies that concentrate on its efficacy in relation to “proximal classroom outcomes” (e.g., classroom emotional and managerial interactions between teachers and children) and teacher psychological factors (e.g., self-efficacy…
Parenting Culture(s)
What is it to be “an ideal parent”? Does the answer differ across countries and social classes? To answer these questions in a way that minimizes bias and ethnocentrism, we used open-ended questions to explore ideal-parent beliefs among 8,357 mothers and 3,517 fathers from 37 countries. Leximancer Semantic Network Analysis was utilized to first determine parenting culture zones (i.e., countries with shared ideal-parent beliefs) and then extract t…
Profiles of Parental Burnout Around the Globe
Parental burnout (PB) is a pervasive phenomenon. Parenting is embedded in cultural values, and previous research has shown the role of individualism in PB. In this paper, we reanalyze previously collected data to identify profiles based on the four dimensions of PB, and explore whether these profiles vary across countries’ levels of collectivistic-individualistic (COL-IND) values. Our sample comprised 16,885 individuals from 36 countries (73% wom…
Gender Equality and Maternal Burnout
In Western countries, recent decades have witnessed a revolution toward gender equality. Inequalities have been greatly reduced in areas such as education or employment. Because inequalities lead to distress, this development has largely benefited women. One notable exception is the realm of parenting, which has remained rife with inequalities even in the most egalitarian countries. We hypothesized that experiencing inequality in parenting when o…
Parental Burnout Across the Globe During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all societies worldwide. The heightened levels of stress that accompanied the crisis were also expected to affect parenting in many families. Since it is known that high levels of stress in the parenting domain can lead to a condition that has severe consequences for health and well-being, we examined whether the prevalence of parental burnout in 26 countries (9,923 parents; 75% mothers; mean age 40) increased d…
Do Parents Perceive Practitioners to Have a Specific Role in Change? A Longitudinal Study Following Participation in an Evidence-Based Program
Little attention has been given to the role of practitioners in evidence-based parenting programs and to the evaluation that parents make of their importance in the process of change. This study aims to explore the role that parents assign to the facilitators of the Incredible Years (IY) program in enabling long-term life changes, as well as the association between parents' evaluation of the practitioners' skills and specific changes perceived af…

The present review systematically explored research examining the relationship between therapist‐related factors and the outcomes of parent interventions directed at children’s behavior problems. A systematic search of the literature was conducted with online scientific databases, parenting programs, web sites, and bibliographic references of the selected articles, according to PRISMA guidelines. A total of 24 quantitative studies met the inclusi…
The Brazilian–Portuguese version of the Parental Burnout Assessment
This study aimed to examine the validity of the Brazilian-Portuguese version of the Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA), the current gold-standard measure of parental burnout (PB). We surveyed parents in Portugal (N = 407) and Brazil (N = 301). We (a) compared the factor structure of the Brazilian-Portuguese version with the original structure of the PBA, (b) tested the adequacy of a second-order factor structure, (c) evaluated invariance across ge…

A perturbação de hiperatividade/défice de atenção em idade pré-escolar
Com a presente revisão da literatura, pretende-se caraterizar a PH/DA em idade pré-escolar. Nos últimos anos este diagnóstico tem vindo a ser aplicado cada vez com mais frequência antes dos 5 anos de idade, alertando para a necessidade de proceder a uma clarificação da identificação e diagnóstico precoces. A utilização do Manual de Diagnóstico e Estatística das Perturbações Mentais (DSM) em idade pré-escolar tem sido objeto de debate, devido ao r…

Incredible Years(R) Parent, Teachers and Children's Series
Disruptive behavior disorders in children are on the increase. However, there is evidence that the younger a child is at the time of intervention, the more positive the behavioral effects on his/her adjustment at home and at school. Parental education might be an effective way of addressing early problems. The Incredible Years (IY) programs were designed to prevent and treat behavior problems when they first appear (in infancy-toddlerhood through…
A questionnaire for listening to students’ voices in the assessment of teaching quality in a classical medical school
The purpose of this study was to develop a teaching quality assessment questionnaire and assess its reliability by using it with a sample of first‐year medical students. Principal components analysis with varimax orthogonal rotation resulted in the development of a 12‐item, two‐component tool, adequate for use in lectures and small‐group sessions. The two components were named ‘curriculum’ and ‘relationship’. The Cronbach coefficient alpha values…
