Population Perspectives on Nurturing Relational Health from Early Life
The association between parent–child and peer relationship quality in adolescence and intimate partner relationship quality in young adulthood
Adolescent experiences in close relationships play a seminal role in social–emotional development across the lifespan. Here, we examine the unique and combined effects of parent–child and peer relationship quality in adolescence (age 11–13 years) in shaping intimate partner relationship quality in young adulthood (age 19–28 years). Prospective data were from the Australian Temperament Project ( n = 1117) and the TRacking Adolescents' Individual L…
Preconception risk and promotive factors of postpartum social support
Social support is a vital resource for parents raising young children. Yet, little is known about the developmental histories of parents that may compromise or strengthen social support in early parenthood. We explored the extent to which parents' perceived social support at 1 year postpartum could be predicted by factors from well before parenthood, assessed across 10 waves of data collected in their childhoods, adolescence, and young adulthoods…
Life course predictors of child emotional distress during the Covid ‐19 pandemic
BACKGROUND: We examine precursors of child emotional distress during the COVID-19 pandemic in a prospective intergenerational Australian cohort study. METHODS: Parents (N = 549, 60% mothers) of 934 1-9-year-old children completed a COVID-19 specific module in 2020 and/or 2021. Decades prior, a broad range of individual, relational and contextual factors were assessed during parents' own childhood, adolescence and young adulthood (7-8 to 27-28 yea…
Parental history of positive development and child behavior in next generation offspring
This study examined whether positive development (PD) in adolescence and young adulthood predicts offspring behavior in two Australasian intergenerational cohorts. The Australian Temperament Project Generation 3 Study assessed PD at age 19–28 (years 2002–2010) and behavior in 1165 infants (12–18 months; 608 girls) of 694 Australian-born parents (age 29–35; 2012–2019; 399 mothers). The Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Parenting Stu…

Eating and Body Image Disturbances in Adolescence and Substance Use Throughout Young Adulthood
We investigated whether eating and body image disturbances in mid-adolescence were associated with substance use in young adulthood. Participants ( n = 1566) completed the drive for thinness, bulimic behavior, and body dissatisfaction subscales from the Eating Disorder Inventory during adolescence (15–16 years), and reported frequencies of substance use (tobacco, cannabis, binge drinking, other illicit substances) across young adulthood (19–20, 2…
Parenting orientations in young adulthood
Most but not all adults become parents, yet it remains unclear which characteristics indicate an orientation toward parenting. The aims of this study were to (a) distinguish profiles of individual and interpersonal resources in young adults that may orient them toward parenthood and (b) investigate whether profiles predicted timing of entering parenthood, postpartum parenting behavior, and parent-infant bonding. Participants were 1,429 young peop…
Childhood disadvantage and adolescent socioemotional wellbeing as predictors of future parenting behaviour
INTRODUCTION: In extending work on early life antecedents of parenting, we investigate associations between childhood family history of disadvantage, adolescent socioemotional wellbeing, and age at first parenthood and subsequent parenting behaviour. METHODS: Parent-child interactions were recorded when participants in the longitudinal Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study (New Zealand) had a three-year-old child. Data were avail…
Preparing for Future Adversities
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has placed considerable pressure on families, testing the quality of relationships and the strength of social support within and beyond the family network. However, little is known about the pre-pandemic factors that predict family relational resilience and social functioning during times of natural disaster or global crisis. Here we use data from one of Australia's longest running studies of social and emotional…
Association Between Maternal Perinatal Depression and Anxiety and Child and Adolescent Development
Importance: There is widespread interest in associations between maternal perinatal depression and anxiety and offspring development; however, to date, there has been no systematic, meta-analytic review on the long-term developmental outcomes spanning infancy through adolescence. Objective: To provide a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of the extant literature on associations between maternal perinatal depression and anxiety and …
Maternal and paternal depression and anxiety and offspring infant negative affectivity
Adolescence and the next generation
Adolescent growth and social development shape the early development of offspring from preconception through to the post-partum period through distinct processes in males and females. At a time of great change in the forces shaping adolescence, including the timing of parenthood, investments in today’s adolescents, the largest cohort in human history, will yield great dividends for future generations.
From Emerging to Established
The timing and sequencing of completing education, leaving home, beginning full-time work, forming intimate relationships, and parenting are evolving rapidly worldwide. This study describes patterns of transition in a population-based longitudinal study of Australians at ages 20 and 29 ( N = 1,366). Latent class analysis and latent transition analysis identified four categories of emerging adulthood in both age-groups. At age 20, 41.8% were in th…
