Essentialist and Activist Mothering: The Associations Between Feminist Identity, Mothering Attitudes, Maternal Agency, and Postpartum Depression Symptoms in New Mothers
Young adults' retrospective reports of family cohesion, parental differential treatment, and sibling relationships
Emerging adult siblings' relational entitlement and conflict: The moderating effects of financial dependence on parents
Past literature has documented a linkage between entitlement and interpersonal tension, primarily in romantic relationships. However, there is a lack of research investigating the impact of entitlement on sibling relationships. Guided by the agency model of narcissism and adult development literature, this study conceptualized relational entitlement as one form of state narcissism and examined the actor and partner effects of relational entitleme…
Voice as a mediator of mothers’ and daughters’ feminist attitudes and psychological outcomes: An application of silencing the self theory and social cognitive theory of gender development and differen…
This research investigated the associations between mothers’ and their young adult daughters’ feminist attitudes, voice (i.e., their ability to speak their mind in close relationships), and psychological outcomes. Results from 169 mother-daughter dyads indicated significant direct and indirect actor effects, including associations between mothers’ and daughters’ own feminist attitudes and their own voice, and between daughters’ own feminist attit…
Direct and indirect effects of attachment orientation on relationship quality and constraint commitment in married couples
This study examined the associations between attachment orientation, relationship quality, and constraint commitment. It tested the prediction that insecure attachment would be negatively associated with constraint commitment, that relationship quality would be positively associated with constraint commitment, and that there would be an indirect effect of attachment insecurity on lower constraint commitment through lower relationship quality. Par…
Parent and Child Traits Associated with Overparenting
Overparenting involves the application of developmentally inappropriate levels of parental directiveness, tangible assistance, problem-solving, monitoring, and involvement into the lives of children. Based on theories of family enmeshment, effective parenting, and personality development, this parenting behavior was hypothesized to be associated with negative traits in parents (i.e., anxiety and regret) as well as in young adult children (i.e., n…
The Intergenerational Transmission of Social Skills and Psychosocial Problems among Parents and their Young Adult Children
The primary aim of this study was to examine the potential intergenerational transmission of social skills and psychosocial problems (i.e., loneliness and anxiety) among a sample of 255 father-mother-adult child triads. These associations, along with the indirect effects of social skills and psychosocial problems, were examined using structural equation modeling. Results indicated that fathers' social skills and loneliness are predictive of their…
Direct and Indirect Effects of Newlywed Couples' Neuroticism and Stressful Events on Marital Satisfaction Through Mutual Problem Solving
This investigation examined the role of neuroticism, stressful experiences, and mutual problem solving in newlywed couples' marital satisfaction. The vulnerability-stress-adaptation model of marital development was used as the basis of the proposed hypotheses. Dyadic analyses and tests of indirect effects were performed on data from 186 couples in the first 5 years of their marriage. Results indicate that husbands' and wives' work, job–home inter…
Direct and indirect effects of attachment orientation on relationship quality and loneliness in married couples
This study tested the prediction that spouses' insecure attachment orientation would be negatively associated with relationship quality. It was further predicted that there would be indirect effects of attachment orientation on spouses' relationship quality through interpersonal trust as well as indirect effects of attachment orientation on loneliness through spouses' relationship quality. Predictions were tested on 225 married couples that compl…
The Association Between Overparenting, Parent‐Child Communication, and Entitlement and Adaptive Traits in Adult Children
What is colloquially referred to as “helicopter parenting” is a form of overparenting in which parents apply overly involved and developmentally inappropriate tactics to their children who are otherwise able to assume adult responsibilities and autonomy. Overparenting is hypothesized to be associated with dysfunctional family processes and negative child outcomes. Predictions were tested on 538 parent‐young adult child dyads from locations throug…
