Stability and change in children's residence arrangements after parental separation
Objectives This study examines stability and change in children's residence arrangements after parental separation in Norway using detailed categories of residence arrangements. Background Most studies use broad classifications of residence arrangements. Finer distinctions may offer better insight into the dynamics of postseparation arrangements. Method The sample comprises 800 children from 504 separated families recruited from family counsellin…
Economic Hardship During the Covid‐19 Pandemic and Trajectories of Parent–Child Relationships: A Prospective Longitudinal Study Among Norwegian Families
Children who grow up in families experiencing socioeconomic adversity are at increased risk for negative social and emotional outcomes. Negative outcomes may in part be derived from the effect of financial stress on parental emotion and behavior. During the Covid‐19 pandemic, many families experienced abrupt economic change and unemployment that may have caused financial stress and impacted the relationship between parents and their children. The…
Interparental conflict trajectories across various child residence arrangements when parents live apart
In Norway, as in most Western countries, a growing proportion of parents living apart choose shared residence for their children. The aim of this study was to investigate trajectories of five interparental conflict dimensions across four child residence arrangement groups (and three combination groups) to improve understanding of different conflict trajectories when parents live apart. We used data from the Dynamics of Family Conflict study. Fami…
Physical Custody Arrangements, Children's Age, and Children's Mental Health: A Comparison of Germany and Norway
This study investigated potential differences in mental health among children living in sole physical custody (SPC), asymmetric joint physical custody (JPC), and symmetric JPC; and it tested whether children's age moderated the association between physical custody arrangements and children's mental health. Using data from the Family Models in Germany (FAMOD) and Norwegian Dynamics of Family Conflict (FAMC) studies, we estimated OLS regression mod…

Effects of Covid‐19 lockdown on parental functioning in vulnerable families
Objective: The aim of this study was to increase the knowledge about how the initial Covid-19 lockdown influenced parental functioning in vulnerable families. Background: The Covid-19 pandemic has caused major changes to family life. Using a natural experiment design can potentially adjudicate on former inconclusive findings about the effects of lockdown on parental functioning in vulnerable families. Method: = 1368 responses). Mixed model regres…
Validation and short-form development of Conflict and Problem-solving Strategy Scales
The Strategy scales from the Conflicts and Problem-solving Scales is widely used and meaningfully distinguishes between conflict behaviours characterized by Cooperation, Avoidance, Child Involvement, Stalemating, and Verbal and Physical Aggression. The aim of this study was to validate the scale and develop a short-form for use across family structures. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) showed an unsatisfactory fit of the original Strategy scale…
A preliminary validation of a Norwegian version of the Tinnitus Sample Case History Questionnaire
At present there is no validated tinnitus questionnaire available in Norway. The aim of the present study was to psychometrically evaluate and report on a Norwegian translation of the Tinnitus Sample Case History Questionnaire (TSCHQ). Furthermore, the results were compared to those of a recent Swedish validation of TSCHQ. More than two hundred ( N = 218) participants with tinnitus participated in the study, of which 78% completed the Norwegian T…
Children’s knowledge of single- and multiple-letter grapheme-phoneme correspondences: An exploratory study
In this study, we examined Australian children’s knowledge of single- and multiple-letter grapheme-phoneme correspondences (GPCs), and the influence of five different factors – GPC complexity, phoneme status, the child’s name, GPC entropy, and GPC frequency – on GPC knowledge. Data from 337 Australian children enrolled in Kindergarten to Grade 3 were included in the study and analyses were performed using mixed effects models. Results indicate th…

Re-placing imperial landscapes: Colonial monuments and the transition to independence in Kenya
Notions of Nation in Nairobi's Nyayo-Era Monuments
This article examines how, between 1983 (Kenya's 20th anniversary of independence) and 1992 (the year Kenya became a multi-party state), the Kenya African National Union (KANU) used Nairobi's monumental landscape in a concerted effort to create a Kenyan postcolonial identity. The monuments erected in the capital city during these years of Moi's presidency (the Nyayo era) illustrate how the memory of the moment of independence was drawn upon in an…
