Economic Hardship and Adolescent Well-Being
This study examined the indirect effects of non-resident father involvement and co-parenting on the relations between paternal economic hardship (EH) and adolescent mental health and resilience. Data were drawn from Year 5, Year 9, and Year 15 Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study waves ( N = 1,267). Paternal EH predicted worse co-parenting, and more optimal co-parenting was associated with increased father involvement. Non-resident father i…
Actor–Partner Model of Parenting and Co‐Parenting Practices and Youth Resilience During the Covid ‐19 Pandemic
The present research examined parents' perspectives of co‐parenting and supportive and hostile parenting as predictors of youth resilience during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Participants were 47 mother/father dyads who had at least one K‐12 child ( M age = 11.40, SD = 3.92). Mothers and fathers each completed an online survey that measured parenting, co‐parenting, and youth resilience during the pandemic. Data were analyzed using the actor–partner int…
The Impact of Undermining Coparenting on the Mental and Physical Health Outcomes of Black Fathers
The parenting literature has established the coparenting relationship as central to the parenting behaviors and outcomes of men. The construct of coparenting encompasses supportive efforts among individuals that facilitate the rearing of children and unsupportive actions that can undermine parenting efforts (Merrifield & Gamble, 2013). Few studies have examined undermining coparenting as an experience that shapes Black men’s health outcomes. In t…
The Effect of Paternal Economic Hardship on Nonresident Father Involvement and Co-parenting Among Racially/Ethnically Diverse Fathers
The present study utilized structural equation modeling with secondary Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study data ( N = 1,267) to examine the relations between paternal economic hardship, nonresident father involvement, and co-parenting. Findings showed that paternal economic hardship (Year 5) was associated with higher child-reported father–child closeness ( p p p
Closeness and Direct Engagement
Measures of father involvement have predominantly comprised quantitative/frequency measures of direct engagement activities with children. Such measures tend to show that non-resident fathers are less involved than resident fathers and limit our understanding of non-resident fathering. This study's purpose was to identify a construct of non-resident fathering that included an affective dimension, father-child closeness, among racially/ethnically …
Father–Daughter Relationships among Latina Adolescents Who Attempted Suicide
Among adolescents, Latinas are at an increased risk of experiencing suicidal ideation and attempts compared to non‐Hispanic, White youth. Previous research indicates that family dynamics are influential as both protective and risk factors. Although significant research has been conducted over the past several decades examining the mother–daughter relationship, few studies have examined the father–daughter relationship among Latina adolescent suic…
Father-figure presence and externalizing and internalizing problems in Mexican and Dominican American children
This study examined whether various types of father-figure presence in Mexican ( n = 414)- and Dominican- American ( n = 336) households measured at baseline predicted child mental health functioning one year later. Results of linear regression analyses showed that the impact of household structure on child functioning was significant and differed by ethnicity. For Mexican-American children, residing with a step-father or other adult male predict…
