Family Outcomes of Filial Piety in Chinese Families in 2014–2026
Filial piety ( xiaoshun ) is a traditional Chinese cultural value that regulates parent-child relationships and child responsibilities. Previous research has suggested the important role of filial piety in contemporary Chinese families. However, there are few reviews summarizing findings about the influence of parents’ filial piety values on parenting and child emotional well-being and mental health. The current scoping review collects empirical …
Immigrant Generations and Father Involvement Among U.S. Resident Fathers
Research on immigrant fathers in the U.S. has primarily focused on first-generation experiences, offering limited insight into how father involvement changes across generations. As first- and second-generation immigrants are expected to drive future growth in the U.S.’ working-age population, understanding how father involvement evolves across generations is critical to capturing the dynamics of fathering and fatherhood in an increasingly diverse…
Critical Identity Theory
Identity theory (IT) has a rich history in family science research; however, neither IT itself nor research using identity theory have focused on diversity or systems of inequality. We suggest that the propositions and assumptions of identity theory are highly compatible with more current critical theories, such as intersectionality. In the current paper, we integrate components from intersectionality theory into identity theory to develop a Crit…
Quality of life in breast cancer survivors
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed among women in the United States. Although advances in detection and medical treatment have improved survival rates, breast cancer survivors experience physical symptoms and psychological distress that can adversely impact their quality of life. Examining the quality of life in breast cancer survivors is important as it may inform supportive services, patient-centered care, and well-being a…
A symbolic interactionist model of White adolescents' digital critical racial literacy and digital anti‐racist action
Symbolic interactionism is useful for examining how various socialization contexts (e.g., family and media) inform adolescents' identity construction and role making. Some research supports the theory's application in understanding White adolescents' racial socialization and identity development. The theory has yet to be applied to understanding the critical components that are essential for understanding how individuals interact with a digital s…
Relationship Factors in the Longitudinal Spillover of Stress Between Parents and Children During Covid-19
This study took a family systems perspective and tested spillover theory to examine the transmission of stress from parents to children during COVID-19. Using a longitudinal design with a 1-year interval, we tested the association between parent perceived stress and perceived child stress, and the sequential mediating effects of poor family functioning and parent-child closeness. The data comprised 134 parents residing in the US who were assessed…

Parents' Well-Being and Emotion Regulation During Infancy
New parents' emotional experiences and coping strategies vary by individual and contextual factors such that the efficacy of a coping strategy might depend on their context and the control a person has over each stressor. This is particularly true during the transition to parenthood, when there are numerous stressors parents have limited control over (e.g., sleepless nights, infant distress, and irregular feeding routines). The current study exam…

Maternal and Paternal Predictors of Turkish Fathers’ Nurturing and Caregiving
This study uses bioecological and identity theories to explore associations among maternal education and employment, fathers’ gender role beliefs and identities, and fathers’ caregiving and nurturing involvement in a Turkish context. The study sample was derived from data collected in 2016 from 1,102 fathers of children between birth and 3 years of age. We used path analysis in structural equation modeling to test direct and indirect associations…
A personal and relational model of father identity construction
Although extensive, the identity theory literature does little to explain how specific identities are constructed. Developmental and sociological work primarily have focused on either images of possible future selves in adolescence, or established identities in adulthood and their impacts on behavior. To date, little work has connected the two realms or proposed what processes occupy the “black box” of identity creation between adolescence and ad…
Mid‐range theories about families
There is a dearth of research in family science that truly uses theory to inform its hypotheses, methods, analyses, and interpretation of findings. On the deductive side, scholars often engage in “post hoc theorizing,” adding on whatever theory seems to fit their findings after the fact, or fail to mention the theory at all. Similar problems exist with inductive research, with far more scholars claiming to use a grounded theory approach, for exam…

Father Involvement and Father–Child Relationship Quality
Patterns of father involvement and the quality of father-child relationships tend to be passed down across generations. To ensure active, positive father involvement and its associated benefits for children, parenting interventions should focus promoting positive fathering behaviors to promote positive relationships with children in their own and future generations
How Are Fathers’ Demographic Characteristics Related to Preschool-Age Children’s Weight and Obesity Risk Factors
Fathers (n = 149) of preschool children were interviewed using the Child Feeding, Role of the Father (ROF), and ROF at Mealtimes (ROFM) questionnaires to determine whether fathers' demographic characteristics are associated with child overweight. Low-income was associated with higher pressure to eat (p = .006) and perceived their child as higher weight (p = .001). Higher education level was associated with lower ROF (p = .018) and ROFM (p = .002)…
Parents' Fathering Identity Standards and Later Father Involvement
Based on propositions from identity theory, this study used a sample of 1,596 coresident couples from the Fragile Families and Child Well-Being Study to examine whether parents' fathering role centrality standards and fathers' status centrality at the time of their child's birth were associated with mother and father reports of father involvement 1 and 3 years later. Mothers and fathers who rated fathering roles as more important reported greater…

Essential Differences in the Meaning and Processes of Mothering and Fathering
Although empirical studies have not consistently documented differences in mothering and fathering, differences in conceptualizations, opportunities for enactment, and meanings of mothering and fathering can be clearly demonstrated through family systems as well as feminist theories and qualitative research traditions. We argue that employing the same measures to assess fathering and mothering behaviors will document considerable differences in t…

Refining Identity Theory to Better Account for Relationships and Context
Identity theory explains behaviors as socially constructed phenomena that result from the expectations we hold and the feedback we receive about how to fulfill the statuses we occupy. However, identity theory inadequately addresses the myriad contexts that influence identity and behavior, a weakness particularly relevant to fathering research. Here, we suggest ways of refining identity theory to better account for context—specifically, interperso…

Mothering versus Fathering versus Parenting
SYNOPSIS Objective. The measurement equivalence of three commonly used parenting constructs (acceptance, psychological intrusiveness, and harshness) was examined across mothers and fathers. Design. A sample of 832 married individuals (416 mothers and 416 fathers) was used to test seven types of equivalence for each measure: configural, metric, scalar, unique variance, factor variance, factor mean, and functional. Results. Acceptance demonstrated …

Using Identity Theory to Develop a Midrange Model of Parental Gatekeeping and Parenting Behavior
Given the socially constructed nature of parenthood, frameworks such as identity theory can help explain mothering and fathering behaviors and, particularly, parents' influence on one another's behaviors (referred to here as parental gatekeeping). Burke's (1991, 1997) identity verification model suggests that others encourage or inhibit identity-relevant behaviors via identity-behavior-feedback loops. This article proposes that such dyadic proces…

Siblings of Individuals With Disabilities
In the United States alone, there are almost 300,000 individuals with developmental disabilities. Researchers have focused primarily on such individuals and their parents; however, the developmental outcomes of such individuals' siblings have been understudied. Research on siblings frequently is atheoretical, which makes it difficult to organize findings in ways that enhance understanding of the multiple influences on sibling development and to p…

Parenting Expectations
The transition to parenthood is a time of great interest to scholars. Because some parents prosper and others falter after the birth of their first child, understanding factors that influence this transition is of critical importance; one reason is the similarity (or lack thereof) between parents' prebirth parenting expectations. The present study examined (1) similarity between and typologies of first-time parents' parenting role expectations fo…
