  • Longitudinal Effect of Perceived Family Support on Marital Adjustment Moderated by Stepfamily Type

    Open AccessCarina Santos, Maria E Costa et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2026

    This study examines longitudinal effects between marital adjustment (MA) and perceived family support (PFS), considering the moderating role of stepfamily type (simple vs. complex). Although higher PFS levels are linked to better MA, forming a new relationship may change support perceptions. It remains unclear whether PFS predicts or follows MA over time, whether the association is bidirectional, and whether stepfamily type moderates this link. 1…

Individuals in stages V and VII also revealed lower couple adjustment than individuals in stage II (couple formation). DoS…

  • Interactive effects of social support and disclosure on fertility-related stress

    Open AccessMariana V Martins, Brennan Peterson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2013Cited by: 8References: 62

    Individuals perceiving high social support tend to perceive better adjustment to infertility. However, it remains unclear whether this benefit is affected by the actual disclosure of the infertility condition. The present study aimed to examine the role of disclosure of fertility status in moderating the relationship between perceived social support and fertility-related stress. The study population ( N = 698) was drawn from a longitudinal cohort…
