Technologically-assisted communication plays a key role in facilitating relationships between parents and emerging adult college students who are living away from home. Informed by Media Multiplexity Theory, we investigated the channels that college students use to communicate with parents and the impact that used and non-used channels have on perceived parent–child relationships. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 44 undergraduate st…
Promoviendo la sensibilidad parental con una intervención temprana basada en la evidencia
Early caregiving experiences set the stage for children’s developmental trajectories. Children who experience early adversity are more likely to show difficulties regulating their behaviors, emotions, and physiology than children who do not experience adversity. Parenting interventions designed to enhance parental sensitivity and responsiveness can buffer children from the detrimental effects of early adverse experiences and ultimately enhance ch…

Female college students ( N = 26) from ethnically and socioeconomically diverse backgrounds participated in in‐depth qualitative interviews focused on the nature of their relationships with fathers. Holistic coding of interviews indicated three types of father–daughter relationships: connected, conflictual, and uncomfortable. Daughters perceived relationships with fathers as shaped by distinct factors all of which were, for the most part, in plac…

Parenting interventions have shown to be effective in improving parenting behaviors quality, reducing child behavior problems, and increasing overall family well-being. However, the majority of research on the effectiveness of parenting interventions has been conducted with a focus on White and Western populations. As a result, intervention designs and guidelines often fail to address the unique characteristics and experiences of Latino immigrant…
