Pathways linking depressive symptoms, financial stress, constructive conflict, and coparenting alliance in primarily unmarried, low-income mothers and fathers
Following an adapted vulnerability stress adaptation (VSA) model, we used the Building Strong Families (BSF) project data to examine how mothers' and fathers' depressive symptoms and financial stress relate to adaptive processes, namely, constructive conflict and coparenting alliance. The sample consisted of racially diverse, low-income parents who were unmarried at the conception of their child ( N = 3,027 couples). All study variables were meas…
Dimensions of father development and parenting
Using the Vulnerability-Stress-Adaption Framework to Predict Remarital Stability
This study used three-wave dyadic data to test parts of the Vulnerability-Stress-Adaption (VSA) model in a sample of remarried heterosexual couples (N = 777). Multiple pathways between adaptive processes, remarital quality, and remarital stability were examined. Adaptive processes included spouses’ positive and negative socioemotional behaviors and their perceptions of those behaviors, which were tested with the actor-partner interdependence mode…
Psychological Distress, Destructive Conflict, and Parenting among Residential and Nonresidential Fathers
We utilized the Determinants of Parenting process model to examine correlates of paternal parenting by father’s residential status. Data consisted of fathers (N = 1,784) who participated in a federally funded Responsible Fatherhood program. Study variables were assessed through fathers’ self-reports. Using a structural equation modeling framework, the results of multi-group analyses revealed differences in parenting by father’s residential status…
The Influence of Interparental Conflict and Violence on Parenting and Parent–Child Relationships
This conceptual review summarizes two decades of research on conflict management behaviors and their implications for family functioning. We review the accumulated research on the impact of three common conflict resolution strategies – destructive interparental conflict, constructive interparental conflict, and intimate partner violence – on parenting and parent–child relationships, including child abuse. Our review is based on published peer‐rev…
The Effectiveness of Online Divorce Education for Latinx Parents
Although divorce education programming is prevalent, research on how programs benefit certain ethnic groups is sparse. Addressing this research gap is important given the increasing ethnic diversity in the United States. In the current study, we applied a mixed-methods approach to examine the experiences of divorcing/separating Latinx parents (n = 371) who participated in a one-hour court-mandated, online divorce education program. Quantitative a…
Impact of Positive and Negative Socioemotional Behaviors on Remarital Instability
We examined the trajectories of remarried couples' ( N = 1161) positive and negative socioemotional behaviors, which reflect the expression of love versus hostility, in relation to remarital instability across the first 3 years of remarriage. The measures of behaviors included both self and partner reports. Guided by the Vulnerability-Stress-Adaptation model of marriage, we used multi-level modeling framework to test the proposed processes at bet…
Financial Stress and Perceptions of Spousal Behavior Over Time in Remarriages
Pathways Linking Parental Relationship Changes, Depressive Symptoms, and Parenting Behaviors to Young Children's Development
Objective The current study examined how parental relationship changes were linked to observed parenting behaviors, parental depressive symptoms, and 3‐year‐old children's social–emotional development. Background Parental relationship changes may present risks to young children's well‐being. The specific processes linking these changes to child development, however, remain unclear because these changes are often confounded with other family risks…
Predicting Parenting and Stepparenting Difficulties among Newly Remarried Parents
Positive parent-child relationships in cases of remarriage are associated with more harmonious stepfamily relationships; however, little research has focused on factors influencing parenting difficulties in early remarriage. In this study, we examine factors that are associated with parenting and stepparenting difficulties for newly remarried biological parents and stepparents from a family systems theory perspective. Regression analyses indicate…
Evaluating Perceived Impact of Utah’s Online Divorce Education Program
Using data collected from parents who participated in a brief, online divorce education program (n = 2,584), the goal of this study was to evaluate the program’s impact in terms of improving parents’ understanding of divorce-related issues and future coparenting plans. Additional analyses were conducted to determine if differences existed among parents based on their demographic characteristics. Overall, parents indicated an improved understandin…
Evaluation of Topics in Utah's ONE‐Hour Divorce Education Program
Divorce education programs are mandatory in most states. Despite the ongoing debate in the field regarding the appropriate duration of these programs, the goal of the current study was to identify the following five content areas in divorce education that may be most relevant for predicting favorable outcomes: (1) impact of divorce on children, (2) impact of divorce on family relationships, (3) financial responsibilities of divorcing parents for …
Is One Hour Enough? Evaluating Utah’s Online Divorce Education Course Based on Course Length Satisfaction
Divorce education programs for couples with children have become mandatory in many states. State-specific courses vary in terms of delivery method and program length. Using data from 1,690 parents who participated in Utah’s online divorce education course, this study examined program effectiveness based on course length satisfaction. Overall, results suggest the program was effective in obtaining its objectives; however, comparisons between group…
The interplay of maternal sensitivity and gentle control when predicting children’s subsequent academic functioning
The goal of this work was to examine the complex interrelation of mothers' early gentle control and sensitivity in predicting children's effortful control (EC) and academic functioning. Maternal gentle control, maternal sensitivity, and children's EC were measured when children were 18, 30, and 42 months of age (T1, T2, and T3, respectively), and measures of children's academic functioning were combined across 72 and 84 months (T5/T6; Ns = 255, 2…
