Implications of parents’ work travel on youth adjustment
Guided by ecological, work-family spillover and crossover frameworks, this study examined mechanisms linking parental work travel (i.e., nights per year) to youth adjustment (i.e., externalizing and internalizing behaviours) through youth's perceptions of parenting (i.e., knowledge, solicitation) with traveller and youth gender as moderators in a sample of 78 children in 44 two-parent families residing in the United States. The findings from mult…
A couple analysis of relationship perception among couples who face work demands
This study addresses how couples experiencing work travel demands talk about their relationship. Using a sample of 29 couples who experience work travel, this study examines what couples in separate interviews reported regarding their relationship, and uses mixed‐method strategies to develop a typology of couples. Three different relationship types were uncovered: aware couples who consider a variety of aspects of themselves, their partners, thei…

Idealization and Disillusionment in Intimate Relationships
We review the literature on partner idealization (also known as positive illusions) in the field of close relationships. Our review assesses the soundness of idealization research from conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and evidentiary perspectives. In addition, we explore the potential linkage of idealization to the newer and seemingly related construct of disillusionment. Given the apparent role of disillusionment in relationship dissolut…
