Campus–community partnerships are essential to the field of family science. Like many other academic units in the applied social sciences, family science departments connect with communities to train students and engage in outreach, fulfilling the mission of many institutions, particularly land‐grant universities. Establishing, nurturing, maintaining, monitoring, and improving these partnerships benefits academia, the scholarly institution in question, and the organizations and individuals in their host communities. This paper focuses on the application of a family science‐derived theoretical model to illuminate connections between institutions of higher education and the communities in which they are situated, for better or for worse. Using case studies and real‐life examples, we adapt the three corners theory of relationships to campus and community partnerships, illuminating how external interests and investment in the partnership can affect the productivity of joint initiatives.

After devastating earthquakes struck Türkiye in February 2023, the country faced the challenge of addressing the psychosocial needs of the survivors. This article uses the Family Adjustment and Adaptation Response (FAAR) model to conceptualize Türkiye's responses to the earthquakes in terms of its demands (i.e., cumulative strains and current stressors), capabilities (i.e., existing resources and coping mechanisms), and meaning/belief systems (i.e., shared meaning, religion/spirituality, and positive outlook/hope). A historical context is provided to better understand the cumulative tensions and resilience of the country, seeking ways to strengthen effective crisis responses in anticipation of an even bigger earthquake in the coming years. Additionally, this article may spark a conversation among family practitioners in different countries about how to collaborate on mobilizing resources during challenging times.

This paper wrestles with the nexus of settler colonialism, the expropriation of Indigenous lands to establish the United States land‐grant system, and the field of Family Science. Family Science programs are embedded within the power structures of the universities to which they belong; certain characteristics of these academic units—especially their emphasis on engagement and professional credentialing—theoretically could produce an idiosyncratic and nuanced context in which academy members operate. First, we grapple with the history of US settler colonialism and the land‐grab concept, focusing attention on the enormous transfer of Native American lands into universities through the Morrill Act. Second, we examine the convergence between the applied activities of family scientists and the tripartite land‐grant mission of teaching, research, and engagement. Consequently, our final aim is to investigate the impact of being a family scientist within a land‐grant university grappling with the historical injustices surrounding its foundation.

Working parents often report difficulties in establishing optimal work–family balance, and such difficulties tend to yield poorer parent well‐being, parenting quality, and child well‐being. Despite advances in understanding of the long‐lasting and multifaceted benefits of purpose in life, up to this point, scant attention has been given to the concept of purpose as a practical means for promoting better parent well‐being and parenting quality, which also has far‐reaching impacts on child well‐being and trajectories. The goal of this paper is to discuss purpose as a potential catalyst and anchor for work–family balance and its associated outcomes of parenting well‐being, parenting quality, and child well‐being. Drawing from ecological systems, family systems, life course, and family resilience theories, this paper presents a conceptual model that depicts these relationships. Recommendations for advancing future research that supports theory building from this work as well as practice are provided.

The detrimental effects of pathological narcissism on individual development and intimate relationships have been widely studied. Although the exact origins of this phenomenon are still debated, the important role that family dynamics play in its emergence is increasingly being recognized. Previous researchers have pointed out that insecure attachment is associated with pathological narcissism; however, empirical findings are inconsistent. Hence, this study conducted a three‐level random‐effects meta‐analysis based on 183 effect sizes from 29 articles (N = 8247 participants). Our findings have demonstrated the significant and positive link between insecure attachment and pathological narcissism (r = .18; 95% CI: 0.14, 0.22; p < .001). In addition, a moderator analysis was carried out to explore factors that may weaken or strengthen the primary association of interest. In total, there are five significant moderators, including insecure attachment style (F(3,176) = 13.72; p < .001), measurement tool of attachment insecurity (F(8,171) = 4.59; p < .001), measurement tool of pathological narcissism (F(6,173) = 5.21; p < .001), percentage of participants identifying as male (F(1,174) = 4.04; p = .046), and age (F(1,178) = 19.94; p < .001). This research highlights the positive correlation between attachment insecurity and pathological narcissism, providing family theorists with insights into how early family experiences influence personality formation and guiding family therapists in interventions for narcissistic pathology.
病态自恋对个人发展和亲密关系的有害影响已被广泛研究。尽管人们对这一现象的确切起源仍有争议,但家庭动态在其出现过程中所起的重要作用已被越来越多的人所认识。以前的研究人员曾指出,不安全依恋与病态自恋有关;然而,实证研究结果并不一致。因此,本研究根据 29 篇文章中的 183 个效应大小(N = 8247 名参与者)进行了三级随机效应荟萃分析。我们的研究结果表明,不安全依恋与病态自恋之间存在显著的正相关(r = .18; 95% CI: 0.14, 0.22; p <.001)。此外,还进行了调节因素分析,以探索可能削弱或加强主要关联的因素。共有五个显著的调节因子,包括不安全依恋风格(F(3,176) = 13.72; p < .001)、依恋不安全感测量工具(F(8,171) = 4.59; p < .001)、病态自恋测量工具(F(6,173) = 5.21; p <.001)、男性参与者比例(F(1,174) = 4.04; p = .046)和年龄(F(1,178) = 19.94; p <.001)。这项研究强调了依恋不安全感与病态自恋之间的正相关性,为家庭理论家提供了早期家庭经历如何影响人格形成的见解,并为家庭治疗师干预自恋病态提供了指导。

Parents lie to their children, for example, to influence children's behavior and emotions (parenting by lying). The aim of this systematic review was to describe the current scientific literature on parental lying, including its prevalence, correlates, conceptualizations, and operationalizations. Through an extensive literature search using PRISMA guidelines, 23 eligible peer‐reviewed empirical papers on parental lying have been found. Many parents are found to lie to their children. However, existing research is characterized by a heterogeneous and narrow conceptualization and operationalization of parental lying, and a focus on problems. Following this, the current empirical evidence points mostly toward associations with maladaptive development. Following a critical analysis of the studies, future research should implement broader conceptualizations and operationalizations of parental lying in non‐retrospective, experimental, or prospective longitudinal research designs on maladaptive and adaptive correlates, to determine the significance of parental lying for children.

Long focused on maternal roles in infancy, research is now exploring fathers' contributions to child development. Current public policy emphasizes early prevention and intervention for child and parent well‐being, especially for at‐risk infants such as those born prematurely. A literature review was conducted following the approach of a narrative review, to examine fatherhood in the context of preterm birth, highlighting the stress and emotional vulnerability experienced by fathers of preterm infants. Promoting early paternal presence and involvement in infant care helps fathers cope with this emotionally challenging experience. Despite limited data on premature fatherhood, fathers are active partners in dyadic interactions and play a significant role in their infant's neonatal intensive care unit journey and family dynamics. The discussion underscores the importance of father‐focused interventions and the paternal contribution to child development, framed within the authors' proposed integrative and developmental model of the family triad.

Grandparents often serve important childrearing roles. The present study is a systematic review of research that examined the association between intergenerational coparenting and children's development. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses guidelines, 220 records were identified, and 16 studies were included in the final review. The review provided a detailed analysis of the methodological characteristics of research in this area. Findings indicated that better intergenerational coparenting was associated with higher levels of children's social competence, executive functioning, and attachment security. Evidence also suggests parenting mediates the relation between intergenerational coparenting and child development. Several directions for future research emerged from the review including the need (a) for measurement strategies that reflect the multidimensional nature of intergenerational coparenting, (b) to consider the various parent‐grandparent dyads, and (c) to incorporate other family factors and processes (e.g., quality of parent‐grandparent relationships) into studies that focus on intergenerational coparenting.
