Dyadic Relationship and Coparenting Quality During the Transition to Parenthood for Couples With Childhood Maltreatment History
Becoming a parent is one of life's most significant transitions and can be a challenging period for many couples. One factor that may increase the difficulty couples experience in adjusting to parenthood is having a history of childhood maltreatment. This study explored whether a history of childhood maltreatment in either partner is associated with couples' relationship functioning as they adjust to parenthood. Structural equation modeling was u…
Attachment Insecurity and Coparenting Relationships
Despite extensive research about adult attachment insecurity in romantic relationships and parenting behaviors, there is a noticeable gap in the literature regarding the association between prenatal attachment insecurity and establishing postnatal coparenting relationships among new parents. While recent empirical studies have shown an increasing interest in this area, research investigating the moderation on the association between attachment in…
The Role of Interparental Conflict in Divergent Perceptions of Parenting
Objective This study aimed to identify whether interparental conflict (IPC) is associated with patterns of convergence and divergence in parent–adolescent perceptions of parental warmth. Background Adolescents and parents often have divergent perceptions of parenting (informant discrepancies). Parents engaged in IPC may be particularly prone to lapses in warmth, while simultaneously being less likely to be aware of these lapses, leading to inform…
Prenatal Psychological Adjustment, Relationship Satisfaction, and Parental Reflective Functioning
Paternal psychological symptoms may be a prenatal prevention target for at-risk father-mother dyad relationship satisfaction. Moderate relative to heavy levels of paternal drinking in the prenatal period may have a positive impact on family functioning. Future research should examine these associations longitudinally

What makes home visits effective? An examination of therapeutic mechanisms in the Recipe 4 Success preventive intervention
Brazilian Version of the Coparenting Relationship Scale
The coparenting relationship plays a central role in family interactions. However, Brazil lacks information on the psychometric properties of internationally recognized instruments to assess coparenting. Escala da Relação Coparental (CRS-BR) is the Brazilian version of the Coparenting Relationship Scale. In this study, we examine: (a) internal validity evidence of the CRS-BR based on confirmatory factor analysis and gender invariance tests; (b) r…
Effects of Intimate Partner Violence Prevention Programming on Social Support, Coparenting, and Parenting Among Teen Parents
Understanding mechanisms and secondary outcomes of intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention programs for teen parents can help to improve relationships. This study used data from a randomized pilot trial of the Safe Dates for Teen Mothers IPV prevention program compared to the original Safe Dates program with 32 teen mothers recruited from four community-based sites. We examined effect sizes of cross-sectional associations between IPV, social s…
Couple relationship functioning and social adjustment during the transition to parenthood among fathers with a history of maltreatment
Study of fathers has gained significant traction over recent decades. However, the experience for men over the transition to parenthood remains focused on high‐socioeconomic and socially advantaged fathers. Researchers have yet to thoroughly investigate how fathers may uniquely experience this transition period with a history of childhood maltreatment, given that childhood abuse is known to impact several components of development and relationshi…
Daily implementation of health‐protective behaviors and family life during the early months of the Covid ‐19 pandemic
The coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) pandemic has necessitated the use of health‐protective behaviors (HPB), such as social distancing, staying at home, frequent handwashing, and wearing facemasks to mitigate the transmission of disease. An investigation of interpersonal costs associated with the use of HPB can help inform strategies to promote their sustained implementation. This study examined the daily associations between the implementation of …
Promoting toddlers' self-regulation and healthy eating habits among families living in poverty
The Recipe 4 Success preventive intervention targeted multiple factors critical to the health and well-being of toddlers living in poverty. This randomized controlled trial, which was embedded within Early Head Start home visits for 12 weeks, included 242 racially and ethnically diverse families (51% girls; toddler mean age = 2.58 years; data collected 2016–2019). Compared to parents in usual practice home visits, parents in Recipe 4 Success disp…
Protective effect of parental monitoring on early-to-mid adolescents displaying high-level and increasing aggressive behavior
Studies that distinguish parental monitoring (parent-driven behaviors) from parental knowledge often fail to find protective effects of monitoring on adolescent behavior problems. To answer whether parental monitoring is more strongly associated with adolescent behavior problems among adolescents who may need it most, this study applied group-based trajectory modeling to change in early- to mid-adolescent aggressive behavior problems and examined…
A case study in developmental discontinuity
The loss of John Schulenberg reverberates across the developmental and prevention sciences. In honor of his many contributions, this paper applies his ideas of developmental continuity and discontinuity to understand the process by which PROSPER delivered universal prevention programs (delivered in Grades 6 and 7) affect young adult outcomes. Guided by these developmental models, we deconstructed adolescent substance use initiation trajectories i…

The Internal Structure and Ecological Context of Coparenting
Research on coparenting has grown over the past decade, supporting a view of coparenting as a central element of family life that influences parental adjustment, parenting, and child outcomes. This article introduces a multi-domain conception of coparenting that organizes existing research and paves the way for future research and intervention. This article advances a conceptualization of how coparenting domains influence parental adjustment, par…
A Multi-Domain Self-Report Measure of Coparenting
OBJECTIVE: This study reports the psychometric properties of a multi-domain measure of the coparenting relationship in dual-parent families. METHOD: 152 couples participating in a transition to parenthood study completed the Coparenting Relationship Scale and additional measures during home visits at child age 6 months, 1 year, and 3 years. RESULTS: Psychometric and construct validity assessments indicated the measure performed satisfactorily. Th…
Peers and the Emergence of Alcohol Use
This study addresses not only influence and selection of friends as sources of similarity in alcohol use, but also peer processes leading drinkers to be chosen as friends more often than non-drinkers, which increases the number of adolescents subject to their influence. Analyses apply a stochastic actor-based model to friendship networks assessed five times from 6 th through 9 th grades for 50 grade cohort networks in Iowa and Pennsylvania, which…
The Double Standard at Sexual Debut
The Longitudinal Influence of Coparenting Conflict on Parental Negativity and Adolescent Maladjustment
This study addresses two limitations of coparenting research: first, little research on coparenting has been conducted with families of adolescents, and second, there is little understanding regarding the child and family contexts in which coparenting is most salient. The longitudinal relation of coparenting conflict to parenting and adolescent maladjustment across 3 years was investigated among 516 2-parent, 2-adolescent families. Coparenting co…

A Dyadic Approach to Understanding the Relationship of Maternal Knowledge of Youths’ Activities to Youths’ Problem Behavior Among Rural Adolescents
Community readiness as a multidimensional construct
Both the organizational studies literature and the community psychology literature discuss the importance of readiness when implementing change. Although each area emphasizes different characteristics, several common themes are present within the literature. The current study integrates and applies organizational and community psychology literature in evaluating community readiness in the context of a school–community–university collaborative pre…
Division of Labor and Multiple Domains of Sexual Satisfaction Among First-Time Parents
Sexual satisfaction is an important contributor to relationship functioning that is not well understood among first-time parents, at a time when relationship functioning is important for the well-being of parents as well as the child. The current study examined how several dimensions of individual and relationship functioning among first-time parents (coparenting, division of household and paid labor, parenting stress, and role overload) at 6 mon…
Six‐Year Sustainability of Evidence‐Based Intervention Implementation Quality by Community‐University Partnerships
There is a knowledge gap concerning how well community-based teams fare in implementing evidence-based interventions (EBIs) over many years, a gap that is important to fill because sustained high quality EBI implementation is essential to public health impact.

Social Network Implications of Normative School Transitions in Non-Urban School Districts
This article expands research on normative school transitions (NSTs) from elementary to middle school or middle to high school by examining the extent to which they disrupt structures of friendship networks. Social network analysis is used to quantify aspects of connectedness likely relevant to student experiences of social support. Data were drawn from 25 communities followed from sixth to ninth grades. Variability in timing of NSTs permitted mu…
Friends First? The Peer Network Origins of Adolescent Dating
The proximity of dating partners in peer friendship networks has important implications for the diffusion of health-risk behaviors and adolescent social development. We derive two competing hypotheses for the friendship-romance association. The first predicts that daters are proximally positioned in friendship networks prior to dating and that opposite-gender friends are likely to transition to dating. The second predicts that dating typically cr…

Sibling Experiences as Predictors of Romantic Relationship Qualities in Adolescence
This study examined sibling relationship qualities as predictors of romantic relationship characteristics in late adolescence and tested adolescent and sibling gender constellation as potential moderators of these linkages. In home interviews, 125 White working- and middle-class adolescents ( M = 16.52, SD = 0.77 years old at Time 1) reported on sibling relationship intimacy, conflict, and control, and 2 years later they reported on intimacy and …
Community sector and gender differences in the perception of community‐based prevention
Community‐based collaborative prevention often relies on the cooperation of individuals from different community sectors. The attitudes of those associates regarding certain domains of collaborative prevention may influence the degree to which this collaboration is successful. The current study is an analysis of the attitudes of 196 designated leaders (key leaders) in 21 communities of the Pennsylvania Communities That Care (CTC) Project. Questio…
Emergence of mixed-sex friendship groups during adolescence
Prospective longitudinal data from over 14,000 youth residing in 28 communities in the rural United States were analyzed to examine the emergence of mixed-sex friendship groups in early adolescence. Youth were surveyed on 5 occasions between fall of 6th grade and spring of 9th grade. At each assessment, youth reported the names of up to 7 same-grade friends and described patterns of alcohol use, cigarette use, and delinquency. Approximately 800-9…
Implications of interparental conflict for adolescents’ peer relationships
The goal of this study was to broaden the developmental understanding of the implications of interparental conflict (IPC) and threat appraisals of conflict for adolescents' relationships with peers. Guided by the cognitive contextual framework and evolutionary perspectives, we evaluated a developmental model in which adolescents who are exposed to IPC perceive these conflicts as threatening to their well-being or that of their family. In turn, th…
A Developmental Perspective on Young Adult Romantic Relationships
Trajectories of adolescent hostile-aggressive behavior and family climate
The formation and maintenance of young adult romantic relationships that are free from violence and are characterized by love, connection, and effective problem-solving have important implications for later well-being and family functioning. In this study, we examined adolescent hostile-aggressive behavior (HAB) and family relationship quality as key individual and family level factors that may forecast later romantic relationship functioning.
