ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to validate a French version of the Grandchildren’s Received Affection Scale (GRAS) and to assess the reliability of this scale. A sample of 285 French emerging adults completed the French translation of the GRAS and related measures. Results supported the four-factor model of the French GRAS grounded in Affection Exchange Theory by assessing it’s factorial and construct validity. Thus, this study provides intergenerational relationship researchers and clinicians with a valid and reliable tool to assess French-speaking grandchildren’s received grandparental affection.

ABSTRACT Using Family Communication Patterns (FCP) theory, this study examined the frequency and comfort of young adults’ political conversations with their parents as mediators of family communication patterns and relational quality in parent–child relationships. Participants included 235 young adults from the United States who were predominantly White, college-educated, and conservative Republicans. After controlling for divorce status, political ideology, party affiliation, and political similarity with mother and father, the results indicated that conversation orientation positively predicts the comfort young adults have with discussing politics with both parents. Comfort discussing politics, in turn, mediated the positive association between conversation orientation and both indicators of relational quality. No evidence of mediation was observed for the frequency with which young adults talk politics with both parents, although frequency of political talk predicted closeness and satisfaction with father but only dissatisfaction with mother. Implications for FCP theory and political socialization are discussed.

ABSTRACT This study tested confirmation and affection as mediators of father’s traditional and new masculinity and young adults’ satisfaction and closeness with father. Participants included 227 young adult children from the Southwest region of the United States. After controlling for divorce status and average talk time with father, the results indicated that perceptions of father’s traditional masculinity are inversely associated with satisfaction and closeness, as well as indirectly associated with closeness through confirmation. Perceptions of father’s new masculinity, however, are positively associated with both indicators of relational quality, as well as indirectly associated through confirmation and affection. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

ABSTRACT This study uses communication privacy management theory to offer an examination of the rule criteria that Latina survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA) utilize to manage disclosure and privacy. Seven Latina women told their stories of CSA through the Indigenous methodology of testimonio. Their stories grant insight into the matrix of domination and underlying power structures within Latinx culture that impact their CSA disclosure. Latinas’ testimonios demonstrate the centering of the family when choosing to reveal and/or conceal their instances of CSA. Specifically, the study’s results indicate that in order to protect markers of identity and to avoid feeling familial shame, survivors choose to keep silent. Moreover, findings indicate that certain patriarchal principles encourage Latinas to uphold particular gender roles such as docility and purity which also impacts disclosure.

ABSTRACT Resilience is important for students transitioning to college given vast attrition rates due to the stress of change and new challenges. This study applied family communication patterns theory (FCP) to explore the relationships among family environment, helicopter parenting, and student resilience. Two mediation models were tested with survey data from 2,253 people in their first semester of college in the United States. Both conversation and conformity orientations were positively associated with perceived helicopter parenting behaviors. However, only conversation orientation was positively associated with resilience. Helicopter parenting mediated the relationship between FCP and resilience. Theoretical and translational implications for scholars and parents are discussed.

ABSTRACT Sports are a pervasive and salient component of society, which have only recently received considerable attention from communication scholars. Although significant gains in knowledge have been made, there is a great need to explore the role and importance of interactions with family in the determination of sports participation or experiences, how families manage their sporting and familial roles, and the formation of identities and relationships. Whether via participation or fandom, families are central agents of socialization who come to instill attitudes and behaviors that shape how we understand sport, ourselves, and each other. It would be impossible to fully understand sporting or family experiences, without considering the intersection between the two.

ABSTRACT Storytelling functions as a means for making sense of and reframing difficulty. The translational storytelling heuristic of communicated narrative sense-making theory proposes that storytelling interventions which facilitate narrative reflection, positive re-framing, and interactional sense-making will positively benefit individuals and families. In this article we describe the process of synthesizing CNSM theory with narrative medicine, narrative theory of identity, and narrative therapy to create a translational storytelling intervention called narrative connection. We then offer a case study using an adaptation of this intervention in the context of parenting. Nine parents in two groups completed the three-week narrative parenting intervention. Preliminary results of the case study suggest that the intervention resulted in an overarching sense of solidarity among parents, facilitates feeling understood, contributes to deeper (self) awareness, and facilitates reassurance, reframing, curiosity, and validation. Overarching benefits included feeling not alone and future plans to be more vulnerable with other parents.

ABSTRACT Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints face a unique and often turbulent time in their relationship with their parent if the individual decides to leave the Church. To explore this phenomenon, we investigated the turning points and relational trajectories of children who have left the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and their interactions with their parents still active in the Church. Thirty emerging adult children were interviewed using the retrospective interviewing technique (RIT). Through turning point analysis, we identified nine overarching turning points: (1) open conversation, (2) restatement, (3) personal withdrawal, (4) confrontation, (5) conformity, (6) coming out, (7) moving out, (8) third-party events, and (9) boundaries and interference. Four relationship trajectories also emerged: (1) disrupted, (2) turbulent (3) declining, and(4) accelerating. Findings and theoretical implications are discussed.
