Parents Engage in More Positive Relationship Behaviors With Partners After Experiencing Greater Coparenting Support
Ecological models of coparenting propose reciprocal processes between coparenting and couple relationship dynamics, but previous literature has limited evidence of directionality. Using daily diary data in 89 families with a 3‐ to 5‐year‐old child from the Southwestern US, this report investigated within‐day and time‐lagged patterns of mother–father couples engaging in positive relationship behaviors and coparenting support. Dynamic structural eq…
Coparenting support in the context of difficult children: Mother and father differences
While parenting children with difficult behaviors can intensify stress within the entire family system, families may lean on other familial relationships to mitigate that stress. The coparenting relationship is known to play a key role within the family system for child outcomes and familial interactions, but it is not clear whether it eases the stress and challenge of raising a difficult child, nor how that plays out differently for mothers vers…
Dyadic associations between marital satisfaction and coparenting quality: Gender differences and the moderating role of caregiving identity
Our study investigated the contribution of caregiving identity in the association between marital satisfaction and coparenting quality in fathers and mothers from a sample of opposite-sex couples of young children living in different areas of the United States. We conducted nested Actor-Partner Interdependence Models and moderation tests to examine potential differences between fathers and mothers in associations between marital satisfaction and …

Investigating moderators of daily marital to parent–child spillover: Individual and family systems approaches
Whose parenting stress is more vulnerable to marital dissatisfaction? A within‐couple approach examining gender, cognitive reappraisal, and parental identity
Conflict and tension in the couple relationship transfers to the parent–child relationship, amplifying the stress parents experience while parenting young children. Pinpointing moderating and individual‐level factors that exist in this spillover process may identify both couple and individual areas where spillover might be mitigated. This study used a within‐couple approach to test for gender differences in marital‐to‐parenting spillover and to e…

Sociosexuality, testosterone, and life history status: Prospective associations and longitudinal changes among men in Cebu, Philippines
The Roles of Parents in Shaping Fathering Across Generations in Cebu, Philippines
Objective: This study examined how parental caregiving and parent-child closeness are associated with future fathering among 335 Filipino men who are participants in a long-running birth cohort study.Background Few studies have multidecade longitudinal data to test the pathways through which parenting is transmitted across generations, with most relevant research conducted in the United States, Europe, and other similar settings. The roles of mot…
Fatherhood and psychobiology in the Philippines: Perspectives on joint profiles and longitudinal changes of fathers' estradiol and testosterone
OBJECTIVES: Research on the psychobiology of partnering and fathering has focused on testosterone (T), oxytocin, and prolactin (PRL) as mechanisms that potentially mediate life history trade-offs related to those roles. Less is known about other hormones that might be responsive to life history transitions and implicated in fathering, such as estradiol (E2). We examined how E2 changed during the transition to marriage and fatherhood, its correlat…
Gender role beliefs, work–family conflict, and father involvement after the birth of a second child
A major task for parents during the transition to second-time parenthood is to help their firstborn adjust to their new roles as siblings. Increased father involvement has been theorized to be protective for firstborn adjustment. Fathers, however, are under increasing pressure to balance both work and family responsibilities. Here we evaluate fathers' relative involvement in two-child families as a function of family structure, gender role belief…
Contributions of television use to beliefs about fathers and gendered family roles among first-time expectant parents
TV content has been documented to portray a limited range of gender roles, and to frequently depict fathers as incompetent parents. Accordingly, this study explored whether first-time expectant parents’ beliefs about gendered family roles and the importance of fathers to child development were related to their TV use. Participants were 201 individuals (122 women, 79 men) from across the United States expecting their first biological child in a co…
