When New Fathers Take More Leave, Does Maternal Gatekeeping Decline
The current study examined associations between the length of paternity leave taken by new fathers and maternal gatekeeping behavior and attitudes (i.e., mothers’ encouragement or discouragement of fathers’ involvement in parenting). Survey data on fathers’ and mothers’ leave length, maternal gatekeeping behavior and attitudes, and psychological and demographic covariates were drawn from a longitudinal study of the transition to parenthood among …
Racial Discrimination and Mental Health among Asian Americans during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating health, economic, and social effects on people throughout the American society. At the same time, racism spread alongside the virus. As China was blamed for COVID-19, Asian Americans became targets of prejudice and discrimination. In this study, we document the racism experienced by Asian Americans during the pandemic and explore its link to mental health. Using the National Couples' Health and Time Study…
National Couples’ Health and Time Study: Sample, Design, and Weighting
Coparenting relationship quality and breastfeeding duration for dual earner new parents
We tested the prospective associations between coparenting relationship quality and breastfeeding duration among 164 dual-earner, cisgender, heterosexual couples identifying as mothers and fathers at the transition to parenthood. We hypothesized that mothers who perceived higher quality (more supportive and less undermining) coparenting relationships would breastfeed for a longer duration. At 3 months after childbirth, mothers reported their perc…
Stress and Mental Health: A Focus on Covid-19 and Racial Trauma Stress
In the United States, COVID-19 unfolded alongside profound racial trauma. Drawing on a population representative sample of 20-60 year-olds who were married or cohabiting, the National Couples' Health and Time Study ( N =3,642), we examine two specific sources of stress: COVID-19 and racial trauma. We leverage the fully powered samples of respondents with racial/ethnic and sexual minority identities and find that COVID-19 and racial trauma stress …
Couple, parent, and infant characteristics and perceptions of conflictual coparenting over the transition to parenthood
This study examined trajectories of new parents' perceptions of conflictual coparenting and predictors thereof. Partners in 182 dual-earner different-gender U.S. couples reported their prenatal marital conflict and individual characteristics (conflictual coparenting in the family of origin, parenting self-efficacy expectations, and parenting role beliefs) during the third trimester of pregnancy, their infant's characteristics (negative affectivit…
Self-Reported Adult Attachment and Observed Parenting Behavior of New Mothers and Fathers
This study examined associations between parents’ self-reported adult attachment and observed parenting behavior using a dyadic and family systemic approach. 182 primiparous expectant couples (182 mothers and 182 fathers) reported on their attachment avoidance and anxiety during the third trimester of pregnancy and were observed interacting with their infants at 3 and 9 months postpartum to assess positive and negative parenting behavior. Path an…

Adult attachment and jealousy of the partner-infant relationship at the transition to parenthood
Using data from a sample of 182 dual-earner different-gender couples who were followed across their transition to parenthood, we adopted a dyadic approach to examine associations between expectant mothers' and fathers' attachment anxiety and avoidance in the third trimester of pregnancy and their own and their partners' jealousy of the partner-infant relationship at 3 months postpartum. Results of an actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) rev…
Family Systems Thinking as a Guide for Theory Integration: Conceptual Overlaps of Differentiation, Attachment, Parenting Style, and Identity Development in Families With Adolescents
There is both the necessity and the capacity for unification across the discipline of family science. This article offers another step toward a comprehensive, integrated body of theory and research shared across our discipline. Specifically, we address how family systems thinking has been reflected in attachment, parenting, and adolescent identity literature, and we present bidimensional models and integrated spectrums emphasizing how levels of d…
