Increasing Parental Well‐Being After the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Through Relational Savoring
Despite abundant evidence that the admission of an infant to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a highly stressful and potentially traumatic experience for both infants and parents, few psychosocial interventions target the needs of parents of NICU infants. In particular, interventions supporting parents beyond the initial medical crisis are notably lacking. Relational savoring (RS) is a brief, positive psychology intervention that attunes …
Intergenerational Transmission
Childhood maltreatment (CM), a complex trauma, has long been recognized as a detrimental predictor of marital quality in adulthood. Although research has almost exclusively focused on the associations of CM with a range of relationship outcomes from an individual perspective, the dyadic effects of CM on couple interactions and marital quality remain understudied. Relying on the Couple Adaptation to Traumatic Stress model, the present study examin…
Childhood maltreatment and perceived partner responsiveness
The study highlights PTSS as a pathway through which CM is associated with PPR, potentially straining emotional connection within intimate relationships. These findings suggest that trauma-informed couples therapy could be beneficial when a partner is exposed to CM. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)
The role of self-compassion in the association between childhood maltreatment and marital quality
These findings contribute to the existing evidence supporting the mediating role of self-compassion as a transdiagnostic protective factor associated with increased marital quality for individuals with a history of CM. Nevertheless, the results suggest that this mediating effect may be specific to one's own marital quality and may not extend to the partner's marital quality.

The gaslighting relationship exposure inventory
Gaslighting, a form of psychological abuse, has received increasing attention in recent years. The current research provides reliability and validity evidence for a new 11-item measure of exposure to gaslighting by a romantic partner: The Gaslighting Relationship Exposure Inventory (GREI). Two studies were conducted with Israeli ( N = 509) and American ( N = 395) community samples. Participants were involved in a romantic relationship and complet…
The multifaceted role of empathy in the transmission of postpartum depressive symptoms between parents
Postpartum depression is a common challenge faced by mothers and fathers and can be transmitted between them. Despite the well‐documented adverse effects of postpartum depressive symptoms (PPDS) on parents and children, not much is known about risk factors pertaining to the transmission of PPDS between parents. Guided by The Social Functions of Emotions theory, the current study tested the moderating effects of different forms of empathy, includi…
Intergroup violence among Jewish and Arab youths in Israel
The current study illuminates the similarities (traumatic events and microaggression) and the differential associations of individual, social, and societal factors and IV among Jewish and Arab youths. Microaggression emerged as the strongest predictor for IV in both groups. These findings highlight the need to inform ecological interventions aimed at mitigating IV in a context-sensitive manner. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights r…
Childhood Maltreatment and Relationship Quality
Childhood maltreatment (CM) has long been recognized as a risk factor for good intimate relationships. Research on the effects of CM on relationship functioning has focused on sexual abuse in girls. However, CM also includes emotional and physical abuse and neglect and is also common in boys. Moreover, prior research has mostly focused on individuals in isolation, ignoring that marriage is a system in which two partners mutually influence each ot…
A Promotive Process of Resource Gain Against Harsh and Inconsistent Discipline in Mothers Coping With Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is a life-threatening disease and a source of enduring stress. The Family Stress Model posits that psychological distress provoked by stressful conditions may spill over and intensify harsh and inconsistent parental discipline. However, the Conservation of Resources theory posits that having more resources may lead to further resource gain, which may promote adaptive coping with adversities. Therefore, this study examined a serial m…
The effects of morbidity-mortality and economic unpredictability on parental distress
Negative affect caused by stressful life events can carry over to parental relationships and induce parental distress. Such spillover effects, however, may not operate uniformly in men and women, and may not be the same for different types of stressful life events. Employing life history theory, we hypothesized that male parents should experience more parental distress following exposure to cues of extrinsic morbidity-mortality (illness or death …
Long-term impact of maternal posttraumatic symptoms on children’s regulatory functioning
The study supports the construct of relational PTSD and broadens it to additional aspects of children's deficits in sensory regulation, behavior regulation, and executive functioning. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
The effect of early-life harshness and unpredictability on intimate partner violence in adulthood
According to life history theory, exposure to harshness and/or unpredictability early in life should promote a fast life history strategy. Such a strategy entails, among other traits, elevated aggression and impaired relationship functioning. While detrimental under safe and stable conditions, these characteristics become more evolutionary adaptive in a harsh and/or ever-changing environment in which risks are uncertain and the future is difficul…
Experiential Avoidance, Dyadic Interaction and Relationship Quality in the Lives of Veterans and Their Partners
This study assessed the mediating pathways of observed couple communication on the dyadic associations between experiential avoidance (EA) and relationship quality. A sample of 228 military couples following combat deployment participated in a conflict discussion and completed self-report measures to assess EA and relationship quality. Results of an actor-partner interdependence model using structural equation modeling indicated that for both dya…
The contribution of maternal care and control, and community type to children’s adjustment to political violence
Both the child's gender and the type of community in which he or she lives are associated with maternal distress and children's adjustment to political violence. (PsycINFO Database Record
