Past to Present
This study examines the longitudinal associations between relationship satisfaction and emotion regulation (ER) difficulties across 8 sessions of couple therapy. It further tests adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) as a predictor of these constructs and therapeutic alliance as a moderator of the effects of ACEs. A cross‐lagged panel model was used to test actor and partner effects in a sample of 972 different‐sex couples at intake, session four,…
A Physio-Relational Model of Couple Therapy
Lost in translation
The global impact of the SARS‐COV‐2 pandemic necessitated a rapid shift to online/teletherapy psychotherapy services. While research suggests the feasibility and efficacy of teletherapy, there is limited investigation into couple teletherapy's impact on satisfaction and therapeutic alliance. This study aimed to address this gap by examining changes in couple satisfaction during tele‐ and in‐person therapy sessions over 12 sessions and exploring w…
Towards Culturally Sensitive Care
Past research has indicated the factors that prevented Asians/Asian Americans from seeking mental health services. However, few studies examined their experiences in receiving mental health services. This study utilized a convenience sample with a non-identifying online survey. As part of the larger survey, this analysis concentrated on addressing two open-ended questions that inquired about the obstacles and challenges that the participants enco…
The Ethics and Politics of Religious Ethics, 1973–2023
This essay addresses the questions, “what good is religious ethics for?” and “what justification exists for the field?” in three steps. First, it canvases how religious ethicists have offered reasons for carrying out work in the field to identify an Anti‐Reductive Paradigm that is guided by an Egalitarian Imperative . That imperative functions as a thin, minimal morality of inclusivity and equal respect that guides work in the field. Second, the …

A Dyadic Exploration of Marital Satisfaction as a Mediator between Religiosity and Depressive Symptoms
Substantial research has established that religiosity can be a protective factor against depression. However, little research has explored these associations within couples. Theory and previous research provide evidence that these relations may be manifest through marital satisfaction. A longitudinal Actor–Partner Interdependence Model was used to test the dyadic relations between religiosity at Time-3, marital satisfaction at Time-4, and depress…
The Epistemology of Plea Bargaining
Systems-oriented social epistemology (SYSOR), studies epistemic systems (ES) in which individuals work together to determine the epistemic status (true, justified, true beyond a reasonable doubt, etc.) of propositions relevant to the group. Science is the most obvious example of an ES and has attracted significant attention from epistemologists. The criminal justice system (CJS) has received far less. One reason CJS has gotten less notice is the …

Alterity, Intimacy, and the Cultural Turn in Religious Ethics
This essay responds to four critics of Friends and Other Strangers: Studies in Religion, Ethics and Culture : Diana Fritz Cates, Eric Gregory, Ross Moret, and Atalia Omer. Focusing on the book’s organizing concepts of intimacy and alterity, engagement with empirical sources, discussion of Augustine’s thought, and attention to moral psychology and political morality, these interlocutors take up various strands in the book’s argument and extend the…

Division of Household Labor and Marital Satisfaction in China
Division of household labor is associated with marital satisfaction among Chinese populations. However, little research has compared rural and urban regions in Chinese societies, which have traditionally had significant cultural differences. This study compared the level of division of household labor and the relationship of division of household labor and marital satisfaction between the urban and rural regions of China. ANOVA results indicated …

Relational Aggression and Self-Reported Spousal Health
Same-Race and Interracial Asian-White Couples
Research suggests that interracial couples have lower relationship stability compared to their same-race counterparts, but there is evidence that interracial relationships involving Whites and Asians are an exception. This study compared the pathways to relationship stability among same-race and interracial Asian-White couples. Using MANCOVA, partner empathy, social approval, relationship satisfaction, and relationship stability for same-race and…
Gender Differences in Marital Satisfaction
The purpose of the present meta-analysis was to empirically test the widely held assumption that women experience lower marital satisfaction than men. A total of 226 independent samples with a combined sum of 101,110 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Overall results indicated statistically significant yet very small gender differences in marital satisfaction between wives and husbands, with wives slightly less satisfied than husban…

Justice, Reason, and Luck in Rationing Lifesaving Medical Resources
When lifesaving medical resources such as organs or medical technologies are scarce, how should they be distributed? Among the patients needing such resources, who should be selected, and how? James F. Childress addresses these questions in his landmark article, “Who Shall Live When Not All Can Live?,” providing a careful analysis of the ethical dimensions of rationing lifesaving medical resources and defending a method of randomized patient sele…
What Happens at Home Does Not Necessarily Stay at Home
Using data from a sample of 281 couples (the Flourishing Families data set), the authors tested a systemic theoretical model that examined the relationship among observed marital interaction, physical and mental health, and work satisfaction. The results showed that negative marital interaction was associated with significantly lower work satisfaction and poorer health for men. Higher negative marital interaction scores were significantly related…
Marital Quality and Health Over 20 Years
Although there is substantial evidence linking marital quality to physical health, few studies have been longitudinal. This study examined data from the Marital Instability Over the Life Course Study; 1,681 married individuals followed for 20 years were included in these analyses. In order to control for life course effects, participants were divided into 2 cohorts: early life and midlife. On the basis of latent growth curve analysis, the results…

Parent-Child Attitude Similarity across the Life Course
This analysis tests two competing hypotheses con- cerning changes in parent-child attitude similarity across the life course. The developmental perspec- tive predicts that parent-child attitudes converge as children become adults; socialization theory suggests that attitudes diverge over time. Change in similarity was measured on political, religious, and gender role attitude scales collected from three-generation families in 1971 and 1985. Resul…

Detecting and Correcting Attrition Bias in Longitudinal Family Research
Bias due to the attrition of respondents poses a threat to the internal and external validity offind- ings in longitudinal family research. Differences in characteristics between two samples at initial and subsequent waves is a threat to external va- lidity, and differences in the relationships be- tween variables in the samples is a threat to inter- nal validity. Methods of detecting attrition bias are discussed, and Heckman's procedure to cor- …
The Impact of Marital Conflict on Health and Health Care Utilization in Older Couples
This study tested the hypothesis that marital distress has a significant effect on health care utilization for older couples. Results from 536 intact couples in long term marriages showed men in dissatisfying marriages are more likely to utilize health care services; women in satisfying marriages are more likely to use health care services. There were no significant partner effects of marital quality on health problems or health care utilization.…

Compelling Family Processes
This article introduces the idea of family process research and asserts that the study of family processes is an indispensable component of any effort to conceptualize and measure family life. Within this article the family process approach is defined through the use of several domains that categorize core constructs. Further, several key assumptions are identified that form the foundation this family process approach. A related objective of this…

Sooner or later? The marital horizons of parents and their emerging adult children
Grounded in a marital horizon theory of emerging adulthood, this article presents a study that provides an evaluation of the differences between parents' and emerging adults' views about marriage. Using a sample of 536 emerging adults and their parents (446 mothers, 360 fathers) recruited from five college sites from across the United States, the study sought to identify parents' marital ideals for their children and to investigate how these atti…

Justifications of the Iraq War Examined
This article examines three arguments according to which the Iraq war has been justified: preemptive or preventive self-defense, law enforcement, and humanitarian rescue. It concludes that for empirical and moral reasons, the Iraq war lacks a just cause. In the course of making that judgment, the article explores moral and practical implications of a preventive war policy. It also examines efforts to invoke one justification—rescue—retrospectivel…

Effects of Marital Quality on Children in Brazilian Families
There is substantial research on the relationship between marital satisfaction and its effect on child development, with empirical evidence suggesting that marital conflict and dissatisfaction among the parents is predictive of poorer child outcomes. These findings are consistent with systems theory, which suggests that dynamics in one subsystem have an effect on other systems in the family. However, there is little known about how these variable…

Stereotypes and retirement
This paper focuses on the stereotypes that elderly retirees hold of old age and the socioeconomic and sociodemographic factors associated with these beliefs. The Palmore Facts on Aging Quiz (FAQ) was administered to 224 retirees from a large corporation in the Southwest. The results show that this group of elderly retirees is less likely to stereotype the elderly or old age than are similar age samples administered the FAQ, but is still negative …
An empirical analysis of Palmore's facts on aging quiz and the miller‐dodder revision
This paper focuses on an empirical evaluation of Palmore's Facts on Aging Quiz and the recent revision by Miller and Dodder. The two measures were compared, using similar samples of college students at a large southwestern university. The extent of knowledge which subjects had about aging, as indexed by each instrument, was found to relate differently to several accepted measures of knowledge. Although the Miller‐Dodder scale displayed stronger c…

The effect of the postdivorce relationship on paternal involvement
Longitudinal analyses of data from 64 pairs of former spouses indicate that the quality of their postdivorce relationship had a significant impact on fathers' involvement with their children. The strength of the influence declined over time, however, as the patterns of interaction in the reorganized binuclear family became more stable

Without Intuitions
This paper criticizes Analytic philosophy with its reliance on intuitions in pursuit of conceptual analysis. Rejecting naturalism as an alternative philosophical method, I offer in its place a pragmatic and revisionary conception of philosophical method. I explain the method of Analytic philosophy and show why reliance on intuitions is essential to that method, which is unable to provide substantive answers to philosophical problems. I further sh…
Humanitarian Intervention, Altruism, and the Limits of Casuistry
This essay argues that the ethics of humanitarian intervention cannot be readily subsumed by the ethics of just war without due attention to matters of political and moral motivation. In the modern era, a just war draws directly from self‐benefitting motives in wars of self‐defense, or indirectly in wars that enforce international law or promote the global common good. Humanitarian interventions, in contrast, are intuitively admirable insofar as …

On Medicine, Culture, and Children's Basic Interests
Margaret Mohrmann, Paul Lauritzen, and Sumner Twiss raise questions about my account of basic interests, liberal theory, and the challenges of multiculturalism as developed in Children, Ethics, and Modern Medicine . Their questions point to foundational issues regarding the justification and limitation of parental authority to make decisions on behalf of children in medical and other contexts. One of the central questions in that regard is whethe…
