We examined the relationship between ethnic identity (EI), family ethnic socialization (FES), heritage language ability (HLA), and desire to learn a heritage language (HLD) in a sample of 91 U.S. psychology graduate students. We had four main findings. First, HLD had a significant positive relation with EI (24.9%). Second, FES had a significant positive relation with EI (33.8%). Above and beyond FES, HLD uniquely accounted for 10.9% of the variance of EI. Third, HLA had a significant positive relation with EI (12.3%). Above and beyond HLA, HLD uniquely accounted for 12.7% of the variance of EI. Accounting for the contribution of HLD decreased the beta associated with HLA; a finding that suggests HLD may mediate the relation between HLA and EI. Fourth, the combined contribution of FES and HLA accounted for approximately 36.3% of the variance of EI. HLD had a significant positive relation to ethnic identity after the other the factors in this study were considered, in combination, and uniquely explained 9.0% of the variance of EI. Our results highlight the importance of considering internal factors, such as desire to learn a heritage language, when examining ethnic identity. Implications for practice and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Belief systems guide an individual's perceptions, behaviors, and interactions. Understanding an individual's belief systems can be beneficial in assessment, treatment planning, and service delivery. Belief system development is impacted by different factors, including the belief systems held by an individual's family-of-origin. At this time, there is not an available theory or instrument that identifies the components and characteristics that are included within family belief systems. To fill this current gap, we developed a typology of family belief systems and an associated illustrative figure labeled as The Family Belief Systems Wheel. The proposed typology is presented followed by discussion of the practical applications for the field.

Explicit and frequent verbal and non-verbal sexual communication is essential for marital satisfaction. Most of the studies on sexual communication relate to the Western cultures. The current study investigated the gaps between the actual and the desired sexually assertive verbal and non-verbal communication between husbands and wives belonging to a collectivistic Muslim culture. The study involved 207 married couples from Pakistan. A newly developed questionnaire along with ‘the longing for interpersonal touch picture questionnaire’ was used to gather data. The study revealed significant differences between the actual and the desired levels of sexually assertive communication among couples. It was found that husbands and wives were not sexually as vocal and expressive as they desired to be. Husbands, furthermore, significantly craved for hugging and stroking from their wives. The significant gap between the actual and the desired levels of sexually assertive communication was regarded as a product of certain psychosocial factors such as shame, gender, morality, modesty, culture, and female objectification.

The ever-occurring phenomenon of migration has great impact on the lives of migrants and their left-behind families. The mechanism of migration has physically separated many families. The present study is an attempt to understand how transnational migration has impacted the lives of left-behind parents living in the village Khizarabad, Punjab, India. Data from 30 parents were collected using in-depth interviews and quasi-participant observation methods. Couple of interviews were counted as one parent and as one interview. Experiences of parents were documented using narratives. The findings of the study revealed that the emotional cost of migration is suffered by the left-behind parents. The remittances received by the parents improved their economic conditions but at the same time decreases physical and emotional support. The paper also draws a conclusion that technology has played a vital role in such situations as it strengthens family ties across borders through phone calls and video calls.

Stress is inherent to romantic relationships. Current relationship scales measure individual stress, relationship conflict, and relationship happiness. However, no known empirically supported scale exists that comprehensively measures romantic relationship stress. We reviewed the extant theory, empirical findings, and measures within the broad category of relationship stress. Using this information, we created the Romantic Relationship Stress Scale (RRSS)—a three-part, 29-item measure. We administered the measure to married individuals (N = 296) in either a proximal or long-distance relationship, in the context of a larger study. An exploratory factor analysis was performed on RRSS responses, using principal axis factoring with an oblique rotation. A three-factor solution was derived, representing the factors of relational negativity, stressful relationship events, and relational positivity. These factors explained 67.7% of the variance in RRSS responses, and were correlated in the expected directions. The overall scale alpha was 0.93, and subscale alphas ranged from 0.65–0.91. The RRSS demonstrated convergent validity; scores were positively correlated to scores on a widely used measure of individual stress. The RRSS discriminated between those in proximal versus long-distance relationships. Overall, the RRSS appears to be psychometrically sound, and can be considered for use in both research and clinical settings.

Pregnancy and postpartum are full of developmental change for both women and their families. Family members are adjusting to their new roles in the family and women are beginning to define their abilities as a mother and caretaker. For some women, their experience during this time is convoluted by the experience of a perinatal mood and/or anxiety disorder (PMAD). In these cases, women's self of competency or mastery in their role as a mother can become entangled, leading to insecurities along with their depression or anxiety symptoms. Medication treatments and psychotherapy interventions have been established to address the mood and anxiety symptoms and to support the family system. However, a treatment is needed that addresses the PMAD symptoms and the internalization of women's feelings and emotions experienced during this impressionable and often defining time. In this article, we explore the use of Narrative Family Therapy as a way to help women deconstruct unhelpful narratives they may have created during pregnancy and postpartum. A case study is provided to illustrate how Narrative Family Therapy can be used to emotionally reauthor women's stories, and construct new meanings by separating their PMAD symptoms from their identity as a mother.

Purpose The purpose of the study was to investigate the mediating effect of psychological health status on women's decision to disclose their exposure to partner violence. Methods: Data for this cross-sectional study was collected from women working in a higher educational institution. Data about partner violence, psychological health, and decision to disclose the violence experience were collected. Path analysis was used to meet the study aim. Results: Major results revealed that women's psychological health status influenced their decision to disclose violence and psychological status worked as a mediating factor between experiences of psychological violence and decision to disclose partner violence. Conclusions: Employment, education, self-esteem, and lack of economic suffering were protective factors against the development of psychological problems in women. Disclosure of violence is considered a coping strategy that prevents progression of more psychological health problems and enables women to continue in their life. It is recommended to enhance women's disclosure of violence which, consequently, enables them to get support and advice. Further, employers need to be encouraged to provide protective tools such as proper security measures to safeguard their employees. Finally, it is recommended to use standardized screening tools as part of the assessment protocol in health care settings.

This study investigated the premarital experiences (dating, engagement, and wedding) in women with divorce tendency. The population of the study included all married women with divorce tendency who referred to counseling centers in Isfahan, Iran due to marital problems over the years 2020–2021. Moreover, this study was conducted with the participation of specialists and therapists familiar with marital and premarital issues and divorce. The relevant literature including texts, articles, and scientific books related to the subject was also reviewed. The data for the study were gathered via three tools of (1) 10 semistructured interviews with married women with divorce tendency, (2) interviews with eight experts, and (3) study of scientific texts. Ten female participants were selected using purposive sampling from those who expressed a tendency to divorce in the diagnostic interview. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The results consisted of 12 subcategories over the three stages of dating, engagement, and wedding. These were then classified according to their similarities and differences by comparing their content under two main categories of cognitive-dispositional experiences and behavioral experiences. The results showed that identifying premarital experiences of women with divorce tendency and providing appropriate preventive and therapeutic strategies could be a great help in stabilizing the couple's relationship, increasing marital satisfaction, preventing divorce, and promoting community health.

Prevalence rates of disordered eating behaviors impact 13% of young women and 7% of young men in the United States. Most existing research emphasizes the significant impact that the family of origin, namely parents, has on the children's relationship with food, their body, and exercise. Yet, little research exists on the parents’ experience healing from disordered eating and its impact on their approach to parenting. Accordingly, this paper presents an in-depth exploration of the lived experiences and personal meaning of mothers’ experience healing from disordered eating and its impact on their childrearing approach. Semistructured interviews were conducted and analyzed as per interpretative phenomenological analysis. Four themes emerged my upbringing and its impact on my relationship with my body, removing shame and changing my family tree, reparenting ourselves alongside our children, and it's bigger than food. The findings highlight the importance of supporting parents in their healing process specific to disordered eating as well as their parenting approach to change their family's relationships with food, bodies, and movement.

Through this study, we aim to evaluate the psychometric properties, such as factor structure, reliability, and construct validity of the Greek translation of the parent report version of the Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ). Four hundred sixty-six parents were enrolled in the study. Firstly, we extracted four factors with the use of EFA (Principal Components Analysis) in a subsample comprised of n = 294 participants. Afterward, we evaluated the internal four-factor structure (Involvement – Positive Parenting – Inconsistent Discipline – Corporal Punishment), though CFA in the entire sample. All goodness of fit indices generated by CFA were found satisfactory (χ2/df = 1.54 < 2 and p = .213, TLI = 0.976 ≥ 0.95, RMSEA = .027 < 0.08, CFI = 0.95 ≥ 0.90 and SRMR = 0.015 < 0.08). No floor-ceiling effects were observed. Assessment of measurement invariance provided us with strong evidence that the proposed structure is both meaningful and valid in families with a child with a disability, as well. Consequently, the APQ-GR (3–6) is an easily applied and comprehended research tool that allows its use in studies on parental characteristics and practices in both families with and without a child with disabilities rearing.
