Background
Family resilience refers to a family's capacity to face and manage adversities, emerging as a stronger and more resourceful unit. A family system approach enlarges the lens to the broad relational network, identifying potential resources for resilience within the immediate and extended family. This approach emphasizes a family's innate ability to adapt in the face of adversities.
Objective
This study aims to test the psychometric properties of the Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire (WFRQ) using a sample of Portuguese caregivers with children aged between 10 and 15 years.
Method
A total of 267 caregivers of children aged 10 to 15 years completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and the WFRQ. Analyses were performed to evaluate the WFRQ's validity evidence based on the internal structure (i.e., dimensionality and reliability) and on its relationship to other variables.
Results
The findings supported a 31-item version of the WFRQ with one third-order latent factor, three second-order factors, and nine first-order factors for the Portuguese population. The WFRQ exhibited satisfactory validity evidence based on the internal structure and relation to other variables.
Conclusion
Overall, the results of this study demonstrate the suitability of the WFRQ as a holistic measure to gauge resilience at the family level, going beyond individual assessments.
Implications
This instrument holds significant utility in family resilience research and clinical interventions involving families.

The current study examined the roles of parental differentiation, self-differentiation, and attachment style and history in parenting twins.
Background
Raising twins is a complex parental experience. One of the major roles of parenting twins is to ensure their parallel development, as well as their psychological differentiation and self-individuation.
Method
The study included 91 Israeli adult participants (41 same-sex fraternal twins; 50 same-sex nontwin siblings), sampled through social media, who answered a series of questionnaires.
Results
Results indicated that twins reported less self-differentiation, a poorer attachment history with their parents, and less secure attachment than nontwin siblings. Moderation analysis established that the positive link between parental differentiation and self-differentiation was significantly stronger for twins than nontwin siblings. In contrast, sibling status had no moderating effect on the link between attachment history and style.
Conclusion
These findings emphasize the significance of parental differentiation in twins' personal development and the importance of recognizing the unique bond between them.
Implications
Implications for practitioners focusing on nurturing healthy development, strong sibling relationships, and individual well-being are discussed.

Objective
The goal of this study was to examine dual trajectories of supportive coparenting and father involvement across the transition to parenthood into early childhood.
Background
During the transition to parenthood, families adapt to new dynamic family subsystems. Drawing on family systems theory, we investigated the influence of supportive coparenting (mother–father subsystem) and father involvement (father–child subsystem) on child development.
Method
Longitudinal data from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study collected at the child's birth and ages 1, 3, and 5 years included a sample of predominantly unmarried disadvantaged couples (N = 856) living in diverse couple relationship configurations. Group-based modeling was used to identify interfamilial variations in dual trajectories and how these trajectory groups were associated with parental predictors and child behavior outcomes.
Results
Three classes were identified: High-Slow Decreasing Supportive Coparenting and Father Involvement (Class 1, 78%), High-Rapid Decreasing Supportive Coparenting and Father Involvement (Class 2, 12%), and Low-Increasing Supportive Coparenting and Low-Stable Father Involvement (Class 3, 10%). Class 3 showed greater couple supportiveness than the other classes. Couples in committed partner relationships were more likely to be in Class 1 or Class 2 than Class 3. Children of Class 1 displayed fewer behavioral problems than the other classes.
Conclusions
Findings emphasize the value of jointly considering coparenting and father involvement in targeted interventions to strengthen child development and family functioning among economically disadvantaged families.

This study aims to investigate full-time working adults and the extent to which generative concern and gender moderate the association between positive and negative work-to-family spillover on life satisfaction and positive and negative affect.
Background
Families are an important and viable support for many people and their well-being. At the same time, an increasing number of women and men are working full-time in the United States, and work is likely to spill over into family life and affect well-being.
Method
Using data from the second wave of the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study, 1,570 full-time working adults were examined. Regression analyses, controlling for education, hours worked for pay, parental status, and alternative well-being outcomes, were conducted.
Results
The results showed that generative concern and gender moderated the effect of negative work-to-family spillover on life satisfaction and the effect of positive work-to-family spillover on positive affect, albeit differently for women and men.
Conclusion
The findings emphasize the importance of generative concern as a potential resource in full-time working adults.
Implications
Companies could give employees the opportunity to pass on important skills to others, offer advice, or mentor young employees to strengthen generative concern.

This study aimed to modify the Japanese version of the Justice Sensitivity Inventory for married couples raising children to help them become more aware of their partner's sensitivity to fairness.
Background
In Japan, couples with children tend to have prejudice about the division of roles, perceiving each other based on the fairness of child care, housework, and work.
Method
Our participants comprised married couples who lived together with a child aged between 1 month and 3 years. A Web company commissioned a survey, with 1,200 and 500 participants included in the first and second rounds of testing, respectively, conducted 1 week apart. We examined the correlation between each subscale of the Japanese version of the Equity Sensitivity Inventory Adapted for Married Couples (J-ESIA), the Japanese version of the Quality Marriage Index (J-QMI), the Japanese version of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (J-IRI), and the short form of the Japanese Big-Five Scale (S-JBFS). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted.
Results
Three factors were identified: ES-Perpetrator, ES-Victim, and ES-Beneficiary. Cronbach's α for each subscale ranged from .95 to .96.
Conclusion
A couple-specific correlation was confirmed for comorbid validity.
Implications
Couples can recognize each other's sensitivity to fairness and bring about behavioral change in their relationship.

Objective
This study examined the associations between mothers' support of children's basic psychological needs (e.g., autonomy, competence, and relatedness) and children's sibling relationship quality in early childhood. We also examined the mediating role of older siblings' self-regulation among these associations.
Background
According to self-determination theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 2000), autonomy, competence, and relatedness are fundamental psychological necessities that support children's socioemotional well-being and social relationship qualities.
Method
Our knowledge of how these family processes operate, however, is unclear, especially among families with young children (aged ≤6 years). The study involved 275 Latina, non-Hispanic Black, or non-Hispanic White mothers in the United States. They were asked to report their levels of support for children's basic needs, self-regulation, and sibling relationship qualities.
Results
Mothers' support of children's competence and relatedness, but not autonomy, was positively related to children's positive involvement with their younger siblings. However, mothers' support of autonomy, competence, and relatedness was unassociated with children's sibling rivalry. Further, older siblings' self-regulation mediated the positive association between mothers' support for children's autonomy and sibling positive involvement. Older siblings' self-regulation did not mediate the associations between mothers' support for children's relatedness or competence and their positive sibling involvement.
Conclusion
Both maternal support for basic psychological needs and older siblings' self-regulation may contribute to positive sibling relationships in early childhood.
Implications
Our findings inform practitioners, educators, and caseworkers that interventions enhancing children's self-regulation may foster positive sibling relationships in early childhood.

This research analyzed the influence of children's anxiety of disaster on their life satisfaction and depression, as well as examined parental warmth's effect on this relationship.
Background
Recent disasters have been causing various anxieties. However, there are not many studies that observe the association between such anxieties related to disasters and children's psychosocial well-being.
Method
There were 2,411 children responding to questions on their disaster-related anxiety (49.8% girls, average age 12 years old). Measures evaluating children's perceptions of their disaster-related anxiety, warmth of their parents, life satisfaction, and depression were administered.
Results
The results revealed a notable association between children's disaster-related anxiety and their satisfaction. It was also observed that parental warmth partially mediated this relationship among boys, suggesting that positive parenting is related to how children's anxiety is associated with their life satisfaction. However, no significant gender differences were detected except for the path from anxiety of disaster to parental warmth.
Conclusions
This study explores the impact of children's levels of disaster-related anxiety on their life satisfaction and highlights the crucial role of parental warmth in reducing this effect.
Implications
With the negative influence of disaster-related anxiety on life satisfaction, it is important to provide various interventions that address this issue. Amid the aftermath of a disaster, appropriate psychological support and various programs should be implemented to help parents support children in coping and managing anxiety.

This research project aims to (a) investigate the association between sandwich caregiving and midlife women's health and (b) ask how this relationship differs by race.
Background
Although researchers consistently find that physical health declines substantially during midlife for women, much about what produces this trend is unexplored. One notable gap in prior literature is the impact of simultaneously providing care to both aging parents and young children (i.e., sandwich caregiving) on the health and well-being of midlife women.
Method
This study analyzes six consecutive waves of nationally representative data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) between 2008 and 2018 with growth curve models.
Results
The analysis illustrates that sandwich caregiving does not have a significant relationship with self-reported physical health among White and Black mothers but has a negative association with fair or poor self-rated physical health among Hispanic mothers.
Conclusion
This study contributes to previous scholarship by specifying the heterogeneous consequences of sandwich caregiving for the health and well-being of White, Black, and Hispanic women during midlife. Moreover, this work highlights the importance of exploring the complex implications of sandwich caregiving, as more and more midlife adults begin to provide care to dual generations.
Implications
This study underscores the relevance of the life course perspective and the stress process model in understanding sandwich caregiving. Furthermore, my findings emphasize the significance of the family as a social institution in shaping social inequality and the need for race-specific interventions to mitigate the adverse health outcomes of sandwich caregiving.

Objective
The goal was to understand how children born of rape in the Democratic Republic of Congo induce parental stress and how parents work together to care for these children.
Background
Abundant literature is devoted to children born of rape, but nothing is known about the stress undergone by their parents in the care process.
Method
Twenty-four rape survivor couples and 26 control couples with children aged 6–17 were subjected to Parenting Alliance Inventory (PAI) and Parenting Stress Index (PSI) tests in the east part of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Results
The parental alliance of the rape survivor couples was comparable to that of the controls. However, for survivor couples, mothers received more support from their husbands for girls than for boys. Parental stress was low among fathers. It was high among mothers of boys and low among fathers of girls. Finally, it was high among mothers of boys compared with fathers.
Conclusion
Boys born of rape induce high parental stress compared with girls born of rape, and mothers experience more stress than fathers.
Implications
Support programs for families of rape survivors must be gender specific for both parents and children, and preferably a family-centered approach should be considered.

This study investigates the roles of women's empowerment through employment and decision-making power on the association between intimate partner violence (IPV) and gender traditionalism in Muslim-majority nations.
Background
Women empowerment and gender ideology perspectives argue that women's resources or egalitarian ideology decrease the IPV that women experience. Many studies, in various nations, found backlash effects where women were exposed to more IPV.
Method
Using Demographic and Health Surveys of Afghanistan 2015 (N = 19,862), Egypt 2014 (N = 6,283), Pakistan 2017–2018 (N = 3,167), and Tajikistan 2017 (N = 4,864) and negative binomial regression analyses, we examined the effects of married women's empowerment on IPV (emotional, physical, sexual, and husbands' controlling behaviors [HCB]).
Results
Overall, we found that women's gender traditionalism increased IPV in all nations. Women's empowerment, however, decreased the total IPV associated with gender traditionalism in four nations, but women's employment increased the total IPV in Egypt.
Conclusions
We conclude that total IPV and HCB are related to gender traditionalism, but they depend on women's empowerment in some Muslim-majority nations.
Implications
Governments might consider making policies that would increase women's knowledge on gender equity and working women's rights, such as including gender quotas in workplaces to empower women. This could lead to a long-term decrease in attitudes that tolerate IPV.
