For Richer, for Poorer: Associations Among Financial Distress, Power Distribution, and Depressive Symptoms Amid Heightened Inequality Across the Covid ‐19 Pandemic
Open AccessXiaomin Li, Dexia Kong et al.ARTICLEPersonal Relationships2026
Money, power, and mental health are highly interrelated in romantic unions. To further extend the literature, we integrated the family stress model and feminist perspective as theoretical frameworks. Three‐wave, dyadic data were collected from 1093 U.S. different‐gender couples before, during, and after the COVID‐19 pandemic (a period marked as heightened economic and social inequality). By conducting a Random‐Intercept, Actor‐Partner Interdepend…
Psychological Flexibility in Dementia Caregiving: The Adaptive Support Model
Open AccessGavin Green, Gavin B Green et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Theory & Review2026
Dementia caregiving often involves sustained emotional disruption and ambiguous loss, yet many interventions focus on burden reduction without specifying the adaptive processes that sustain caregiving over time. We propose psychological flexibility as a central moderating process in how caregivers interpret stressors, mobilize resources, and sustain engagement in the face of chronic relational ambiguity. Drawing from the Family Adjustment and Ada…
Family Caregivers’ Progress Toward Values Moderates the Associations between Behavioral Symptoms of Dementia, Caregiver Burden, and Depressive Symptoms
Open AccessElizabeth B Fauth, Josh R Novak et al.ARTICLEThe International Journal of…2025
Increasingly, dementia caregiver interventions are informed by acceptance-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. These interventions promote psychological skills like psychological flexibility and value-based living. Less is known how these constructs interact within well-established caregiver stress processes. We examined a moderated mediation model (N = 161 dementia caregivers; PROCESS Procedure; SPSS Release 4.1), with BPS…

Open AccessHarold H Kelley, Ty B AllerARTICLEJournal of Religion and Health2025
Using structural equation modeling to analyze two waves of longitudinal data from 306 adults on the autism spectrum in the USA, we assessed whether transcendent spirituality (feeling connected to a higher being) was associated with psychological flexibility (the ability to respond to uncomfortable internal sensations in a flexible, values-driven manner), psychological inflexibility, and satisfaction with life over a 10-week period. While we ident…

Antonius D Skipper, Justin J Hendricks et al.ARTICLEMarriage & Family Review2025References: 69
Despite several deleterious systemic stressors, such as racism and financial strain, African Americans have often leaned on religion and resilience to establish strength in their personal and familial lives. Yet, there remains a significant need for more studies on exactly how African American individuals and families have utilized their resources to remain strong. Accordingly, the present study takes an in-depth look at 46 strong African America…

Open AccessHarold H Kelley, Loren D Marks et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2025Cited by: 1References: 28
Despite the rapid growth of nonreligious individuals in the United States, limited research has focused on how nonreligious parents approach the (non)religious socialization of their children. We employed a grounded theory approach to the analysis of in-depth interviews with 33 nonreligious couples ( N = 66 parents), through which we identified five themes: (1) parents openly sharing their beliefs, (2) encouraging religious exploration, (3) empha…

Perceptions of Nonreligious Parents
Open AccessHarold H Kelley, Loren D Marks et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2023Cited by: 1References: 35
Although religious intolerance and marginalization still exist today, research suggests that perhaps one of the most marginalized groups is those who report no religion. Through interviews with 31 nonreligious couples ( N = 62 individuals), we investigated what nonreligious parents want religious people to understand about them and their families. Using a team-based approach to qualitative data analysis, we identified three themes related to what…

Religion can have both helpful and harmful influences on relationships. The purpose of this study is to better understand how religion can have both a unifying and a dividing influence on parent–child relationships. Through the use of interviews with 198 highly religious families (N = 476 individuals), we address some of the complexity inherent in religion and examine the influence of three dimensions of religious experience (religious practices,…
