Anxiety during the transition to parenthood: Partners' cognitive and emotional experience
Examining how fathers’ experience of childhood trauma and current coparenting quality contribute to paternal involvement
A multidimensional measure of father involvement following parental separation
Understanding Fathers’ Involvement Relative to the Other Parent After Parental Separation
Following parental separation, fathers' greater or lesser parental involvement relative to the other parent may be differently accounted for by father, child, and coparental factors. A representative sample of 671 separated fathers completed questionnaires two and four years after separation. For fathers less involved than the other parent, a better coparenting relationship accounts for greater T1 involvement, but predicts a decrease in involveme…
Vivre un décès périnatal en contexte de pandémie
La COVID-19 a entraîné des changements dans les services de santé périnataux. Une étude transversale mixte réalisée auprès de 58 femmes québécoises ayant vécu le décès de leur enfant en période périnatale durant la pandémie permet d’identifier les enjeux de ce parcours parental complexifié et de proposer une offre de soins et services sécuritaires lors d’autres crises sanitaires
Predicting Canadian first-time fathers’ early childcare involvement behaviors using an extended theory of planned behavior
Perceived Paternal Involvement, Relationship Satisfaction, Mothers' Mental Health and Parenting Stress: A Multi-Sample Path Analysis
Research has demonstrated the short- and long-term impacts of maternal mental health and well-being on children's emotional and behavioral outcomes. It is thus important to better understand the antecedents of maternal depression and stress. The aim of this study was to determine whether the contribution of perceived paternal involvement to account for mothers' depression and parental stress was mediated by relationship factors such as parenting …
Does parental work affect the psychological well-being and educational success of adolescents
The primary goal of this exploratory study was to observe the presence or absence of empirical associations between various parental working conditions, family and, ultimately, the psychological well-being and educational success of young adolescents in Canada. A structural equation model analysis was undertaken from a large Canadian database. This research project used a sub-sample from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth, reg…
Défis liés à la culture dans la réponse aux besoins des familles francophones de l’Alberta
Cette étude examine les besoins et les défis en matière de soutien social de répondants francophones albertains, répartis en cinq sous-groupes selon leur lieu d’origine. La langue et l’hétérogénéité culturelle dans un contexte minoritaire sont prises en compte sous l’angle des processus d’acculturation. Une méthode mixte (quantitative et qualitative) a permis de dresser un portrait global des expériences de stress et de soutien en lien avec des é…
Women's Depressive Symptoms during the Transition to Motherhood: The Role of Competence, Relatedness, and Autonomy
This study investigates the longitudinal pattern of reciprocal relations between mothers' perceived satisfaction of their needs for competence, relatedness, and autonomy and depressive symptoms during the transition to motherhood. Participants were 331 women assessed during their pregnancy and two and five months after delivery. Results based on structural equation modeling provide some support for the effect of perceived needs satisfaction on su…
Social support, social constraint, and affect in spouses of women with breast cancer: The role of cognitive processing
Social support and constraint may impact cognitive processing of traumatic or stressful events, thereby influencing adjustment. This study tested a path model accounting for positive and negative affect in male spouses of women with breast cancer (N = 105). The model examined support and constraint from the patient and others, as well as mediators of cancer-related intrusive thoughts and avoidance. Constraint from the patient was associated with …
Global and specific relational models in the experience of social interactions
Two studies demonstrated that global and relationship-specific models of self and other are correlated but not redundant constructs. Relationship-specific models were operationalized in terms of significant role relationships (Study 1) and salient relationships (i.e., frequent interactions; Study 2). Longitudinal analyses (Study 1) suggested that specific models generalized to global ones over time and that global models had a small but significa…
Priming relational schemas: Effects of contextually activated and chronically accessible interpersonal expectations on responses to a stressful event
The authors used a relational schemas approach to test the effects of interpersonal expectations on responses to a stressful event. In Study 1, a subliminal priming technique was used to demonstrate the causal influence of experimentally activated interpersonal expectations on affect, support seeking, and coping responses to a hypothetical unplanned pregnancy. Activation of positive interpersonal expectations increased reports of seeking emotiona…
Coping with moral commitment to long-distance dating relationships
The uncertainty of relationship transitions should elicit more elaborate cognitive processing about one's relationship. As a result, reports of a type of relationship commitment distinctive from satisfaction-moral commitment-might be obtained from those about to begin long distance relationships. Students assessed prior to the academic year reported 2 types of commitment: moral and enthusiastic. Moral commitment was highly correlated with the mea…
Pregnancy decision making as a significant life event: A commitment approach
A value-laden basis for commitment to goals and the behavioral and affective sequelae of commitment were examined in the context of a stressful life event. Fifty-seven women who were interviewed during a clinic visit for a pregnancy test (Time 1 [T1]) subsequently received positive test results and were then interviewed 2 days later (Time 2 [T2]) and a month later (Time 3 [T3]). The intentionality and the meaning of the pregnancy were associated …
