Predicting the Deterioration of the Parent–Adolescent Relationship Among Non-Offending Mothers: Inquiry into Childhood Physical and Sexual Abuse and Depressive Symptoms
Childhood sexual and physical abuse is prevalent around the world and impacts many major developmental tasks of childhood, resulting in an increased risk of reporting depressive symptoms in adolescence. Despite research documenting that the parent–adolescent relationship is influenced by adolescent depression, there has been far less attention on change over time. The current study examined associations between childhood sexual and physical abuse…
Matching theory to research: Applying the random intercept actor–partner interdependence model to parent–adolescent relationship quality
Evaluating Complex Health Interventions through Contribution Analysis: A Scoping Review
Background: Health interventions often involve complex, multifaceted components and dynamic, nonlinear effects that challenge traditional experimental methods like randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Contribution Analysis (CA) offers a theory-based impact evaluation approach that shifts the focus from solely attributing outcomes to interventions to understanding their contributions within specific contexts. Despite its widespread use in fields s…
A dyadic analysis of sibling perpetrated abuse in childhood on negative affect in adulthood among dizygotic twins: Contemporary family strain as a Moderator
Sibling abuse is one of the most common forms of maltreatment, yet it has been overlooked by researchers and clinicians alike. Sibling relationships are generally the most enduring relationships individuals have, even when there is sibling-perpetrated abuse in childhood. Supportive and strained relationships with family members may protect against or amplify negative affect resulting from sibling-perpetrated abuse in childhood, yet these proposit…

Psychological pathways from childhood maltreatment to inflammation among midlife and older adults
Findings of the study indicate that experiences of childhood neglect, but not abuse, appear to initiate a psychological cascade that results in elevated C-reactive protein. Neglect leads to raised levels of trait anger which, in turn, increases emotional suppression. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)

Challenging the use of the overall adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) score: Comparing total ACEs, maltreatment, and household dysfunction on mental health problems among White, African American, an…
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been consistently linked to mental health problems. There have been recent conceptual and empirical critiques that suggest maltreatment and household dysfunction to not be combined to create a composite ACE score. Women in correctional custody demonstrate disproportionately high ACE levels and greater mental health problems as to racial minorities. The present study compared the effects of varying operati…
Conceptualizing and measuring childhood adversity: A comprehensive critique of the adverse childhood experiences measure and offering a new conceptualization of childhood adversity
The landmark adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) study conducted by Kaiser Permanente and the Centers for Disease Control shook the bedrock of the scientific community, highlighting the commonality of ACEs and identifying a dose-response relationship with poor health outcomes. The seminal findings led to a surge in ACEs research and a growing body of empirical literature; however, the ACEs measure has numerous conceptual and measurement issues t…

Generational effects of culture and digital media in former Soviet Republics
In public opinion, social and digital media provide means for influence as well as sorting according to pre-existing values. Here we consider types of media usage versus opinion using new polling results in the former Soviet republics (FSRs) of Belarus, Ukraine, and Georgia. Over 1000 individuals in each country were asked about a news event (the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol) and about the long-term future of their country. We find that yea…
The Longitudinal Association Between Childhood Abuse and Positive and Negative Family Interactions in Midlife and Older Adults: The Role of Mindfulness Meditation and Gender
OBJECTIVES: Childhood abuse has been linked to problematic familial relationships in adulthood; however, it remains unclear what factors buffer the association. Mindfulness research has demonstrated promise in improving relationships among adults abused during childhood, but research has focused on couples, with fewer studies examining familial relationships. METHODS: Using a data sample of 2430 adults from the Midlife Development in the United S…
Serial indirect effects from childhood maltreatment to adult chronic health conditions through contemporary family relationships and mental health problems: Inquiry into sleep disturbances and stress

Focusing on familial relationships and stress processes may be particularly fruitful. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
Childhood Abuse and Chronic Physical Health Conditions in Adulthood: A Longitudinal Analysis of Familial Support and Strain as Mediators
Childhood maltreatment and provision of support and strain to family relationships in adulthood: The role of social anxious and depressive symptoms
Childhood maltreatment (CM) often occurs within the family system and can complicate familial relationships across the lifespan. Mental health problems may be one possible pathway linking CM to willingness to provide support and provisions of strain to family members. We advance this line of research by examining the degree to which CM shapes adults' understanding of how individual's willingness to provide support to their family as well as enact…
Marital Quality as a Mechanism Linking Childhood Abuse to Mental Health
Childhood abuse has been widely associated with mental health problems in adulthood and marital quality may be one possible mediator.

Monitoring event-driven dynamics on Twitter: A case study in Belarus
Analysts of social media differ in their emphasis on the effects of message content versus social network structure. The balance of these factors may change substantially across time. When a major event occurs, initial independent reactions may give way to more social diffusion of interpretations of the event among different communities, including those committed to disinformation. Here, we explore these dynamics through a case study analysis of …

Research on gender and politics is becoming increasingly mainstreamed within political science. To document this process, we introduce a comprehensive dataset of articles published in 37 political science journals through 2019 that can be considered “gender and politics” research. Whereas recent related literature has explored the descriptive representation of women in political science by examining authorship and citation patterns, we argue that…
A Longitudinal Investigation Into Marital Quality as a Mediator Linking Childhood Abuse to Affective Symptoms
It appears that childhood abuse impacts the quality of adults' marriages, which may have significant implications for both positive and negative aspects of adult mental health. Marriages may be an important factor in understanding mental health in midlife and older adults among adults who were abused. Interventions should target the quality of adult marriages, and focusing on marital support, strain, and disagreement may be particularly effective
The Intersection of Childhood Maltreatment and Marriage: Implications for Adult's Health
Childhood maltreatment is associated with mental and physical health problems across the life course. Marriages may be a risk factor for continued mental and physical health problems or, alternatively, they could buffer the effects of maltreatment severity on adult health. Using data from the study of Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS), we evaluated marital support and strain as moderators of child maltreatment and adults' subjectiv…

American Masculinity in Crisis: Cordell Walker and the Indianized White Hero
American Indian stereotypes have varied according to each era's ideological necessities: Anglo-Americans made images of Natives into what they needed at the time. After Anglo-Americans broke from England, they needed a new identity to differentiate themselves from Europeans. The solution was to borrow attributes of American Indians to create an amalgam called "the New Man." This study examines the final (or current) stage in this amalgamation: th…
