Parents’ future-oriented practices and adolescents’ social adjustment in Chinese urban and rural families.
Is There a Vicious Cycle Between Parental Burnout and Parent–Adolescent Conflict? A Three‐Wave Within‐Family Analytic Approach
Parental burnout is a chronic condition of experiencing exhaustion, inefficacy, and emotional distance in one's parental role. Given the detrimental influence of parental burnout on both parents and children, it is important to study the antecedents and consequences of parental burnout, particularly at the within‐family level. Using a three‐wave sample of 443 Chinese parents (70% mothers; mean age = 41.81 years, SD = 3.81 years) of middle school …
Kinlessness and end-of-life care quality
Objectives Close family members provide the majority of end-of-life (EoL) caregiving. However, the number of kinless older adults (defined as lacking children and a partner) is increasing. Moreover, non-White older adults are more likely to rely on close families to provide care at the EoL than their White counterparts. Therefore, we examined the association between kinlessness and the quality of EoL care among older adults and the intersectional…
Daily sleep, social encounters, and momentary loneliness in late life
Objectives Social experiences have implications for well-being in late life, and everyday sleep may play an important role in shaping those experiences. This study examines the associations between sleep, quality of social encounters, and momentary loneliness in older adults’ daily lives. Methods We used the ecological momentary assessment data over 5 to 6 days from the Daily Experiences and Well-being Study (N = 287, Mage = 73.56). Every morning…
Correlates and influences of Chinese parental communication about the Covid-19 pandemic
Despite evidence that parental communication about COVID-19 can have short-term benefits such as adolescents' increased health behaviors, less is known about the potential long-term associations between such communication and adolescent adjustment, as well as the family characteristics that facilitate such communication. Moreover, it is important to examine such processes beyond Western societies and broaden the understanding of parental communic…
Viewing Teens as Responsible in Family
Using three-wave longitudinal data of 554 Chinese youth (mean age = 13.35 years; 50% girls; T1 = July 2020, T2 = January 2021, T3 = July 2021), this study examined how youth's views of teens regarding family obligation predict their academic functioning and relationship with parents, with attention to the mediating role of youth's sense of responsibility to parents. Results showed that views of teens regarding family obligation predicted youth's …
Everyday Language and Cognitive Functioning in Late Life
Objectives Language deterioration is a marker of cognitive decline in late life. An emerging literature has examined features of language associated with executive functioning and working memory when older adults are cognitively healthy. This study aims to identify linguistic features that predict cognitive functioning in a sample of cognitively healthy individuals. Method Participants from the Daily Experiences and Well-being Study (DEWS; aged 6…
Loneliness and Mode of Social Contact in Late Life
Although older adults engage in both in-person and phone contact when they feel lonely, it appears that only in-person contact may reduce loneliness. Digital contact was not widely adopted as a response to momentary loneliness among these older adults. Findings underscore older adults' willingness to maintain regular contact with close ties. Interventions addressing older adults who are lonely may consider innovative approaches to increase in-per…
Daily Rumination Among Older Men and Women
These findings may be due in part to gender role socialization and women's greater kin-keeping and investment in family ties
Parental warmth buffers the negative impact of weaker fronto‐striatal connectivity on early adolescents' academic achievement
In past decades, the positive role of self-control in students' academic success has attracted plenty of scholarly attention. However, fewer studies have examined the link between adolescents' neural development of the inhibitory control system and their academic achievement, especially using a longitudinal approach. Moreover, less is known about the role of parents in this link. Using large-scale longitudinal data from the Adolescent Brain Cogni…
Need to belong, daily social engagement, and transient loneliness in late life
Social experiences are of great importance in late life, and the need to belong may play a key role in shaping those experiences. A higher need to belong may motivate older adults to maintain a wide variety of social connections (e.g., family ties, friends, acquaintances, group engagement), yet may also lead to higher risks of feeling unsatisfied and lonely. However, little research examines how the need to belong may shape older adults' social l…
