  • Transnational fathers: New theoretical and conceptual challenges

    Open AccessRoss D Parke, Jeffrey T CookstonARTICLEJournal of Family Theory & Review2020Cited by: 5References: 21

    We propose a transactional model of risk and resilience and ambiguous loss as theoretical guides to understanding transnational fathering. We also examine the risk and buffering conditions associated with each temporal aspect of the migrant journey of transnational fathers beginning with the initial decision to leave their country of origin to their process of resettlement in a destination country. In addition, we examine the effects of the absen…

  • Children in Changing Worlds: Sociocultural and Temporal Perspectives

    Open AccessGlen Holl Jr Elder, Ross D Parke et al.BOOKChildren in Changing Worlds2019

    Children live in rapidly changing times that require them to constantly adapt to new economic, social, and cultural conditions. In this book, a distinguished, interdisciplinary group of scholars explores the issues faced by children in contemporary societies, such as discrimination in school and neighborhoods, the emergence of new family forms, the availability of new communication technologies, and economic hardship, as well as the stresses asso…

  • Advancing Research and Measurement on Fathering and Children’s Development

    Open AccessBrenda L Volling, Natasha J Cabrera et al.ARTICLEMonographs of the Society for…2019

    Fathers are more than social accidents. Research has demonstrated that fathers matter to children’s development. Despite noted progress, challenges remain on how best to conceptualize and assess fathering and father–child relationships. The current monograph is the result of an SRCD-sponsored meeting of fatherhood scholars brought together to discuss these challenges and make recommendations for best practices for incorporating fathers in studies…

  • Parenting and later substance use among Mexican-origin youth: Moderation by preference for a common language

    Open AccessThomas J Schofield, Rosa I Toro et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2017Cited by: 1References: 7

    The primary goal of the current study was to test whether parent and adolescent preference for a common language moderates the association between parenting and rank-order change over time in offspring substance use. A sample of Mexican-origin 7th-grade adolescents (Mage = 12.5 years, N = 194, 52% female) was measured longitudinally on use of tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana. Mothers, fathers, and adolescents all reported on consistent discipline …

    Open AccessThomas J Schofield, Rand D Conger et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2016Cited by: 3References: 17

    The primary goal of this study was to test how mother and adolescent proficiency in a common language moderates the link from parenting to adolescent development. A sample of Mexican-origin fifth-grade adolescents (N = 674, 50% female) was measured longitudinally on self-control and aggression. Mothers were rated on observed positive discipline, warmth, and harsh discipline. Positive discipline and warm parenting predicted increases in self-contr…

  • Effects of the interparental relationship on adolescents’ emotional security and adjustment: The important role of fathers

    Open AccessGo Woon Suh, William V Fabricius et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2016Cited by: 11References: 5

    We examined the mediational roles of multiple types of adolescents' emotional security in relations between multiple aspects of the interparental relationship and adolescents' mental health from ages 13 to 16 (N = 392). General marital quality, nonviolent parent conflict, and physical intimate partner violence independently predicted mental health. Security in the father-adolescent relationship, over and above security with the mother and securit…

  • Reconsidering the 'Acculturation Gap' Narrative Through an Analysis of Parent-Adolescent Acculturation Differences in Mexican American Families

  • He Said What? Guided Cognitive Reframing About the Co‐Resident Father/Stepfather–Adolescent Relationship

    Open AccessJeffrey T Cookston, Andres Olide et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2014Cited by: 1References: 8

    We studied young adolescents' seeking out support to understand conflict with their co-resident fathers/stepfathers and the cognitive and affective implications of such support-seeking, phenomena we call guided cognitive reframing. Our sample included 392 adolescents ( M age = 12.5, 52.3% female) who were either of Mexican or European ancestry and lived with their biological mothers and either a stepfather or a biological father. More frequent re…

  • Marital problems, maternal gatekeeping attitudes, and father–child relationships in adolescence

    Matthew M Stevenson, William V Fabricius et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2014Cited by: 13References: 3

    We evaluated maternal gatekeeping attitudes as a mediator of the relation between marital problems and father-child relationships in 3 waves when children were in Grades 7-10. We assessed each parent's contribution to the marital problems experienced by the couple. Findings from mediational and cross-lagged structural equation models revealed that increased marital problem behaviors on the part of mothers at Wave 1 predicted increased maternal ga…

  • Attributions of Fathering Behaviors Among Adolescents: The Role of Gender, Ethnicity, Family Structure, and Depressive Symptoms

    Open AccessAndrea K Finlay, Jeffrey T Cookston et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2014Cited by: 2References: 27

    Little attention has been paid to how early adolescents make attributions for their fathers' behavior. Guided by symbolic interaction theory, we examined how adolescent gender, ethnicity, family structure, and depressive symptoms explained attributions for residential father behavior. A total of 382 adolescents, grouped by ethnicity (European American, Mexican American) and family structure (intact, stepfamilies), reported attributions for their …

  • Guided cognitive reframing of adolescent-father conflict: Who Mexican American and European American adolescents seek and why

    Open AccessJeffrey T Cookston, Andres Olide et al.ARTICLENew Directions for Child and…2012

    Adolescents may seek to understand family conflict by seeking out confidants. However, little is known about whom adolescents seek, whether and how such support helps youth, and the factors that predict which sources are sought. This chapter offers a conceptual model of guided cognitive reframing that emphasizes the behavioral, cognitive, and affective implications of confidant support as well as individual, family, and cultural factors linked to…

  • Developmental Psychology

    Open AccessRoss D Parke, K Alison Clarke‐stewartOTHERHandbook of Psychology, Second…2012Cited by: 17References: 8

    The goal in this chapter is to trace shifts in major theories and methods of developmental psychology from Charles Darwin to the present. In the earliest period (1880-1915), the field of developmental psychology was established as a distinct scholarly domain, independent of philosophy and other disciplines. J. Mark Baldwin, G. Stanley Hall, Alfred Binet, and Sigmund Freud were the individuals who were most directly responsible. In the second peri…

Discrepancies in perceptions of adolescents and their fathers, in particular fathers…

  • Economic Hardship and Adaptation Among Asian American Families

    Open AccessMasako Ishii-Kuntz, Jessica N Gomel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2010Cited by: 2References: 13

    Asian American families are often portrayed as affluent, having achieved a high level of education and occupational prestige. Despite this model-minority image, many Asian Americans suffer from economic hardship. Using a sample of 95 Asian Americans, this study examines the effect of perceived economic hardship on coping behavior, family relations, family roles, and psychological well-being among members of this understudied minority population. …

  • Parental correlates of children's peer relations: An empirical test of a tripartite model

    David J McDowell, Ross D ParkeARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2009Cited by: 25References: 6

    In recognition of the multiple pathways through which family and peer systems are linked, this short-term longitudinal study tested a tripartite model of family-peer relationships. One hundred fifty-nine fourth-grade children (82 boys, 77 girls) and their parents participated in a study of the links between parent behaviors and children's peer relations both concurrently and 1 year later. A multimethod approach--including observations of parent?c…

  • Positive Marital Quality, Acculturative Stress, and Child Outcomes Among Mexican Americans

    Open AccessMelinda S Leidy, Ross D Parke et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2009Cited by: 6References: 52

    Previous research suggests that the quality of parents' relationships can influence their children's adjustment, but most studies have focused on the negative effects of marital conflict for children in White middle-class families. The current study focuses on the potential benefits of positive marital quality for children in working-class first generation Mexican American families using observational and self-report data. This study examined the…
