SYNOPSISObjective. This study evaluated a preventive intervention to reduce destructive interparental conflict, increase constructive communication, and improve emotional security in interparental, parent-child, and family-wide relationships. Emotional Security Theory provided the theoretical bases for this program. The present focus was on an evaluation of the fathering vulnerability hypothesis, which posits that fathers and their family relationships are particularly susceptible to the effects of destructive interparental conflict. Thus, fathers may benefit especially from an intervention to improve marital and family conflict. Design. Two hundred twenty-five families with an adolescent (112 females; 11 to 17 years old, M = 13.23 years; SD = 1.57) participated, randomly assigned to a parent-adolescent condition (PA; n = 75), a parent-only condition (PO; n = 75), or a control condition (n = 75). Dyadic growth curve modeling evaluated the intervention’s effects on changes in the father-child relationship and fathers’ reports of marital quality over the course of a year. Results. Consistent with the fathering vulnerability hypothesis that fathers would benefit more from couple- and family-focused interventions, positive effects of the intervention on marital quality and attachment were identified for fathers but not mothers. Additionally, further tests directly comparing the strength of each condition’s impact on fathers and mothers revealed that the intervention had stronger positive effects on father-adolescent attachment than mother-adolescent attachment. Conclusions. These results provide a broader understanding of the beneficial effects of the present intervention and offer evidence in the context of a randomized-controlled design in support of the fathering vulnerability hypothesis.

SYNOPSISObjective。本研究评估了一种预防性干预，以减少破坏性的父母间冲突，增加建设性的沟通，并改善父母间、亲子和家庭关系中的情感安全。情绪安全理论为本课题提供了理论基础。目前的重点是对父亲脆弱性假说的评价，该假说认为父亲及其家庭关系特别容易受到破坏性父母间冲突的影响。因此，父亲可能特别受益于干预，以改善婚姻和家庭冲突。设计。225个有青少年的家庭(112名女性;11 ~ 17岁，M = 13.23岁;SD = 1.57)参与，随机分配到父母-青少年状态(PA;n = 75)，仅父条件(PO;N = 75)或对照条件(N = 75)。在一年的时间里，二元增长曲线模型评估了干预对父子关系变化和父亲对婚姻质量报告的影响。结果。与父亲脆弱性假说相一致的是，父亲会从以夫妻和家庭为中心的干预中获益更多，干预对婚姻质量和依恋的积极影响被确定为父亲而不是母亲。此外，进一步的测试直接比较了每个条件对父亲和母亲的影响强度，发现干预对父亲-青少年依恋的积极影响比母亲-青少年依恋的积极影响更强。结论。这些结果为当前干预的有益效果提供了更广泛的理解，并在随机对照设计的背景下为支持父亲脆弱性假说提供了证据。联系地址:sarah Hoegler, Notre Dame大学心理学系，Corbett Family Hall E343B, Notre Dame, IN 46556。电子邮件:shoegler@nd.edu。萨凡纳·维特利和e·马克·卡明斯也在圣母大学。文章信息利益冲突披露每位作者都签署了一份潜在利益冲突披露表。没有作者报告与所描述的工作有关的任何财务或其他利益冲突。伦理原则本研究已获得圣母大学机构审查委员会的批准(协议号08-156)。作者确认在准备这项工作时遵循了职业道德准则。这些指导方针包括获得所有参与家庭的知情同意，保持道德待遇和尊重参与家庭的权利，并确保参与者及其数据的隐私，例如确保不能在报告的结果中或从公开的原始或档案数据中识别个体参与者。本研究的数据不能公开，因为IRB协议没有要求参与者同意他们的数据被公开共享。然而，关于本研究中使用的材料和代码的信息可以从通讯作者处获得。本研究的资金由William T. grant基金会授予E.

SYNOPSISObjective. Cognitive and socioemotional caregiving practices are both important for child development, but little is known about the extent to which children’s different caregivers engage in the two types of practices or their relative effects on child development, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Design. The current study investigates how often mothers, fathers, and children’s other caregivers in 159,959 families from 51 LMICs engage in cognitive versus socioemotional caregiving practices, associations between these caregiving practices, and how the balance between these practices predicts child development. Results. Caregivers reportedly engage in more socioemotional than cognitive caregiving practices in all LMICs examined at all levels of national development. The more mothers, fathers, and other caregivers reportedly engage in cognitive caregiving practices, the more they engage in socioemotional parenting practices. Engaging in cognitive caregiving practices is the strongest predictor of early childhood development when considering cognitive caregiving, socioemotional caregiving, and the balance between the two types of caregiving. Conclusions. Promoting increased caregiver use of cognitive caregiving and integration of cognitive and socioemotional caregiving could close the gap between the number of cognitive and socioemotional caregiving activities parents engage in and potentially promote child development in LMICs.

SYNOPSISObjective。认知和社会情感护理实践对儿童发展都很重要，但人们对儿童的不同照顾者参与这两种实践的程度或它们对儿童发展的相对影响知之甚少，特别是在低收入和中等收入国家。设计。目前的研究调查了来自51个低收入中低收入国家的159,959个家庭的母亲，父亲和儿童的其他照顾者参与认知与社会情感照顾实践的频率，这些照顾实践之间的联系，以及这些实践之间的平衡如何预测儿童的发展。结果。据报道，在所有低收入中低收入国家的所有发展水平中，护理人员从事更多的社会情感护理而不是认知护理实践。据报道，越多的母亲、父亲和其他照顾者参与认知护理实践，他们参与社会情感育儿实践的次数就越多。当考虑到认知照顾、社会情感照顾以及两种照顾之间的平衡时，参与认知照顾实践是儿童早期发展的最强预测因子。结论。促进照顾者使用更多的认知照顾以及认知和社会情感照顾的整合可以缩小父母参与的认知和社会情感照顾活动之间的差距，并有可能促进中低收入国家儿童的发展。联系单位和地址。安德鲁·罗森伯格，杜克大学儿童与家庭政策中心，塔维尤路302号，达勒姆，北卡罗来纳州，27708。电子邮件:war15@duke.edu。马克·h·伯恩斯坦(Marc H. bernstein)就职于联合国儿童基金会尤尼斯·肯尼迪·施莱佛国家儿童健康与人类发展研究所和财政研究所。文章信息利益冲突披露每位作者都签署了一份潜在利益冲突披露表。作者均未报告与所描述的工作有关的任何财务或其他利益冲突。伦理原则作者确认在准备这项工作时遵循了专业伦理准则。儿童基金会获得了人类参与者的知情同意，保持了对人类或动物参与者的道德待遇和尊重，并确保参与者及其数据的隐私，例如确保不能在报告的结果中或从公开的原始或档案数据中识别个人参与者。这项工作没有得到机构资助。资助者/赞助者的作用本研究的赞助者在研究的设计和实施中没有任何作用;数据的收集、管理、分析和解释;审稿:手稿的准备、审查或批准;或决定投稿发表。在此表达的想法和观点仅代表作者的观点，作者所在机构的认可不是有意的，也不应该被推断出来。补充材料本文的补充数据可在https://doi.org/10.1080/15295192.2023.2250827上在线获取

Objective. Both parents may report high levels of stress during the perinatal period with possible negative consequences for parental well-being and child development. Parental sense of efficacy moderates the effect of stress. To date, no studies have assessed links between parental stress and mother-father-infant interactions in terms of family alliance and the extent to which each parent’s sense of efficacy moderates these links. Design. In this study, 65 dual-parent families answered a questionnaire about parental stress between 36 and 38 weeks of pregnancy and at 3 months after birth. Families were also observed while playing with their 3-month-old infant in the Lausanne Trilogue Play, and they completed a questionnaire about parental efficacy. Results. Structural equation modeling analyses showed that higher maternal or paternal postnatal stress has a direct link with higher family alliance and the links between stress and family alliance are moderated by complex interaction effects between maternal and paternal senses of efficacy. Conclusions. This study shows the necessity of considering the interaction between the senses of self-efficacy of both parents as moderators of parenting stress.

SYNOPSIS Objective. The study documents how the personality trait of neuroticism is implicated in two aspects of parenting under two forms of challenge, low income and rearing a difficult child. Design. Relations of maternal neuroticism with sensitivity and stimulation in parenting and the total HOME score were examined when children were 54 months old and 5th grade, with a focus on how neuroticism moderates the effect of low household income and child temperament on parenting. Results. Mothers high in neuroticism were less likely to manifest sensitivity or provide stimulation. Maternal neuroticism moderated the effects of low income on sensitivity, stimulation, and the overall home environment, particularly at 54 months. However, significant interactions between maternal neuroticism and child difficult temperament were only found for the total HOME score at age 11. Conclusions. Living in adverse circumstances may make it difficult for mothers with neuroticism to engage productively in parenting.

SYNOPSIS Objective. Maternal nurturance to infant distress is associated with positive child developmental outcomes including greater attachment security, emotion regulation skills, and social and behavioral competencies. However, factors at multiple levels of parents’ environments may impede parents’ ability to respond sensitively to their infants’ distress. This study examined whether household-level burden (low maternal education, financial need) and neighborhood-level resources (distribution of educational, health/environmental, and socio/economic resources in a community) are associated with parents’ beliefs about infant crying and observed maternal nurturance to infant distress. Design. Ninety-nine mothers (M age = 28.99 years, SD = 5.41) of 6- to 12- month-old infants (42.4% female) completed questionnaires assessing household-level burden as well as the Infant Crying Questionnaire (ICQ) during a home visit. Mother-infant interactions were also filmed to assess maternal sensitivity to infant distress. Results. In separate models, higher household burden and reduced neighborhood resources were associated with increased maladaptive beliefs about infant crying and reduced nurturance to distress. When considered together, household burden was uniquely associated with maternal nurturance. Conclusions. Implications for intervention include considering efforts at both the household and neighborhood levels to address multi-systemic disparities that families experience in efforts to promote greater maternal nurturance.

SYNOPSIS Objective. For most animals, extrinsic mortality risks drive a fast life history (LH) strategy in which animals disregard risks and accelerate reproduction. Instead of perpetuating mortality driving fast LH, humans have reduced almost all mortality risks in living environments, resulting in a significant slowing of LH. Additionally, humans exhibit invested parenting which entails teaching their young survival or mortality reduction skills. Could parenting provide an additional pathway to the development and slowing of human LH? Design. Data reported here come from interviews and questionnaires administered to a community sample of 286 rural Chinese parents and their children when the children were on average 7, 8, and 11 years old. Results. Parental acceptance statistically mediates and moderates the longitudinal association between environmental adversities and children’s LH. Conclusions. Parenting breaks the species-general contingency between mortality conditions and fast offspring LH strategies and provides an additional pathway to the development and slowing of human LH.

Objective: Children of Latinx adolescent mothers are at risk for regulatory difficulties. However, a paucity of research has examined parenting behaviors and children's early emotional development in such families.
Design: Longitudinal associations between observed parenting behaviors (sensitivity, directiveness, child-directed language) at 18 months and children's emotion dysregulation at 18 and 24 months were tested among young mainland Puerto Rican mothers (N = 123) and their toddlers. Given the cultural variability present in Latinx families, whether mothers' cultural orientation moderated these associations was also tested.
Results: Maternal sensitivity predicted less child emotion dysregulation at 24 months at all levels of cultural orientation. Directiveness was unrelated to dysregulation. Child-directed language predicted lower dysregulation only when mothers endorsed lower levels of American cultural orientation.
Conclusions: It is important to consider families' cultural context when identifying maternal behaviors that are most beneficial to child development.

Objective: We evaluated eight recruitment methods (Craigslist, Facebook ads, Google AdWords, in-person, newspaper, parenting magazines, ResearchMatch, and direct mailing) in terms of their ability to accrue fathers of 3- to 7-year-old children into a laboratory-based behavioral trial for parents. The trial was related to child obesity risk and parental health behaviors.
Design: Each recruitment method was implemented such that half its occurrences advertised for fathers only, and half advertised for mothers and fathers. Methods were evaluated in terms of number of fathers recruited, cost- and time-efficiency, response rates, and demographic characteristics of individuals recruited. We also assessed fathers' and mothers' motivations for participating in the study. 101 fathers and 260 mothers were recruited.
Results: Father-targeted ads were essential for father recruitment; 79% of accruals from father-targeted ads were male, whereas only 14% of accruals from parent-targeted ads were male. Craigslist, ResearchMatch, and Facebook ads were the most cost-efficient for accruing fathers. A greater proportion of fathers was motivated by increasing fathers' representation in research (16%) compared to mothers who wished to increase mothers' representation in research (5.4%). Similar proportions of fathers and mothers were motivated by improving their parenting knowledge and improving their child's health.
Conclusions: Future researchers should employ father-targeted recruitment materials (rather than parent-targeted) that capitalize on fathers' unique motivations for participating in research.

SYNOPSIS Objective. This randomized controlled trial examined whether the quantity and quality of maternal language input were increased through the 3Ts Home Visiting (3Ts-HV) intervention early in toddlerhood and whether increases in maternal language input were sustained over time among families of low SES, controlling for maternal education level, language skill, depressive symptoms, family adversity, child age, child language skills, and the length of recording. Design. 149 mother-toddler dyads of low SES were randomized to receive either the 3Ts-HV intervention (n = 76) or Healthy Lifestyle control (n = 73) curriculum from 14 to 20 months. Both quantity (tokens) and quality (lexical diversity, syntactic complexity, and use of complex sentences and wh-questions) of maternal language input were assessed at 14, 20, 26, 32, and 38 months. Hierarchical linear models were estimated to compare maternal language input between groups over time. Growth trajectories were modeled during the post-curriculum period alone, controlling for baseline maternal language input. Results. Intervention mothers had significantly larger increases in both quantity and quality of language input than Control mothers at 20 months. Intervention mothers’ increases in both quantity and quality of language input were sustained at 26, 32, and 38 months. Conclusions. Language input can be promoted early in toddlerhood and sustained over time among families facing socioeconomic disadvantages. Fostering sustainable increases in maternal language behaviors with very young children among families of low SES is a critical first step in addressing early language input disparities.

SYNOPSIS Parenting programs worldwide (and especially in low- and middle-income countries) support parents in their caregiving roles. Parenting programs are popular and prolific, but many outright fail to deliver meaningful effects or eventuate in only small effects. Incomplete consideration and execution of many design features of programs can account for these shortfalls. This article delimits several critical criteria surrounding successful design and evaluation of evidence-based parenting programs. Specific factors include important preliminary questions concerning details of program design, such as whether the topic of the parenting program specifies the aspect(s) of parenting to be encouraged or discouraged and what theory of change underlies the program; program design contents concern subject matter development, sources, and messages; program design components specify the delivery mode, effectiveness, location, and alignment; program design targeting and sampling concern whom the program is addressing, why, and whether the program is designed to be universal or targeted to a specific population; ensuring reliable and valid program measurement; and rigorous experimental standards that encompass evaluating program effectiveness, including randomized control trial or quasi-experimental designs and the selection of control and comparison conditions. Policy makers, program leaders, investigators, and, of course, parents and children all benefit when parenting programs are well designed. Objective. Design. Results. Conclusions.
