Individual and relational factors linked to the perception of divine forgiveness among Spanish-speaking Catholics.
This Stage 2 Registered Report presents a well-powered (>90%) cross-sectional study examining associations between individual and relational factors and divine forgiveness perception (DFP) among Spanish-speaking Catholics within the framework of theistic relational spirituality.Data from 429 Catholic adults (ages 18-99) from Spain and Mexico were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression models structured in four blocks (demographic, indivi…
Exploring the Links Between Parenting Styles, Differentiation of Self and Substance use in Spanish-Speaking Adolescents
Research shows that parenting, specifically, parental warmth and demandingness, are associated with lower substance use. However, little is known about the psychological phenomena that underlie this association. This study aims to explore the relationship between parenting (warmth and demandingness) and substance use, considering the moderating role of the dimensions of differentiation of self (emotional reactivity and emotional cutoff), a key ps…
Differentiation of Self, Attachment Experiences, and Dyadic Adjustment
Romantic relationships are a cornerstone of adult life, profoundly influencing individuals' overall well‐being. When these relationships become distressed, the consequences often extend beyond the couple, affecting families and the communities. Despite growing research on factors associated with couple relationships, much of the existing evidence is limited to the US and English‐speaking populations, underscoring the need for studies in other con…
Catholic Confession and Divine Forgiveness Perception
This theoretical article examines Roman Catholic confession as a key sacramental practice for experiencing Divine Forgiveness (DF), with a focus on Spanish-speaking Catholic contexts. It argues that the theology, ritual structure, and culturally embedded relational dynamics of confession provide insights that have not been fully integrated into the psychological literature on DF. The analysis has three aims: (1) to articulate confession as a rela…
Relational Ethics and Differentiation of Self
Contextual therapy, concerned with equity of responsibility and relational balances, seeks to reintroduce the truth of personal uniqueness and genuine dialogue in meaningful relationships by establishing a bridge between individual therapy and family therapy. Bowen family systems theory, on the other hand, is an approach that considers differentiation as a concept involving the degree to which a person becomes individuated from the parents. This …
Differentiation of self in adolescents
This article examines the measurement equivalence of the Spanish Differentiation of Self Inventory for Adolescents (S-DSI-A) in adolescent populations across Spanish-speaking countries ( N = 5,552), including Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Spain. Within the Bowen family system theory, Differentiation of self is one of the most recognized constructs to systemic researchers and couple and family therapy practitioners, with implication…
Toward a culturally sensitive application of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy
The purpose of the current study was to identify specific ways Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT; S. Johnson) could be adapted to better meet the needs of clients in Spanish‐speaking countries throughout Europe and the Americas. The results were drawn from responses to a qualitative questionnaire regarding the experiences of learning and applying EFT; 103 therapists in 12 different countries where Spanish is spoken responded to the survey.…
The Association between Differentiation of Self and Emotional Connectedness in a Sample of Panamanian Emerging Adults
Differentiation of self represents the integration of two life forces: autonomy and connection with others. The aims of this study were to test whether differentiation was associated with emotional connectedness in a sample of Panamanian emerging adults (n = 110) and to explore the psychometric properties of two instruments for use in the Panamanian cultural-context: the Spanish-Differentiation of Self Inventory (SDSI-R) and the Relational Health…
Embedding co‐sleeping practice within the family systems paradigm
A critical co‐sleeping literature review revealed individualistic and dyadic guided approaches taken insofar, ridden by conflicting results. Thereby, we situated our approach beyond the individual and dyad area where we developed anew a systemic co‐sleeping paradigm, resulting in theoretical and preliminary empirical findings. Initial cross‐gender analyses associated significantly co‐sleeping with Bowen Family Systems Theory's cornerstone constru…
Triangulated children's reality
Arguably, the medical model's narrative achieved an iconic mental health status eulogized within our evidence‐based era. Despite Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ' atheoretical pretensions, we attempt to shed light and critically challenge its dogmatic mental health presumptions through a family systems perspective. Specifically, our critical study of a fictitious vignette attempts to expose how the medical model's systematic…
The Differentiation of Self Inventory – Revised
This study assessed the cross-cultural relevance of Bowen Family Systems Theory by adapting and validating the Differentiation of Self Inventory - Revised in a sample of Greek Cypriots (N = 717). Results indicated high internal consistency (α = .90). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed an adequate fit of data to the original four-factor structure. Construct validity was demonstrated by a significant association between the Greek Differentiation…
Differentiation of Self, Couple Adjustment and Family Life Cycle
This study explores differentiation of self (DoS) and its association with couple adjustment across the family life cycle, in a sample of Spanish individuals (n = 506). Individuals in stage VII (nearing the end of life) revealed significantly lower levels of DoS than those in other stages, except for V (moving on at midlife). Individuals in stages V and VII also revealed lower couple adjustment than individuals in stage II (couple formation). DoS…
Differentiation of Self Predicts Life Satisfaction through Marital Adjustment
Previous studies have documented the link between differentiation of self and life satisfaction. However, the underlying mechanisms explaining these associations are yet to be tested at the dyadic level. This study examined the mediating role of marital adjustment in the association between differentiation of self and life satisfaction among 113 Turkish heterosexual married couples (N = 226). Analyses using the Common Fate Model demonstrated that…
Couple Adjustment and Differentiation of Self in the United States, Italy, and Spain
This study comprises a first attempt to explore a cross‐cultural application of Bowen family systems theory and examines the relationship between differentiation of self and couple adjustment using measurement invariance. A sample of 2,141 individuals ( n = 915 from the United States; n = 635 from Italy; n = 591 from Spain) completed measures of differentiation of self (DSI‐R; Skowron & Schmitt, J Marital Fam Ther , 29, 2003, 209) and couple adju…
