Objective

The study aimed to identify Chinese parenting patterns by considering interparental differences and combinations within families and examine relations to emotional, behavioral, self-adjustment, and academic outcomes of adolescents.

Background

The heterogeneity of parenting is widely acknowledged; profiles of maternal and paternal parenting combinations and benefits for adolescent adjustment across multiple domains remain unclear, however.

Method

This sample consisted of 2,877 intact Chinese families with adolescents (M_age = 12.3 years), their parents, and their head teachers. Four crucial parenting dimensions in China (i.e., warmth, control, protection, and encouragement of achievement) reported by fathers and mothers, as well as emotional, behavioral, self-adjustment, and academic outcomes reported by adolescents were collected, and latent profile analysis was conducted.

Results

Our findings revealed four parenting profiles (i.e., affectionate and father-centered strict, mother-centered strict, neglectful, and highly affectionate-strict). Adolescents in affectionate and father-centered strict families, with enough warmth, moderate control and protection, and sufficient father involvement, adjusted the best across multiple domains.

Conclusions

Two novel parenting profiles characterized by interparental differences in China (i.e., affectionate and father-centered strict, mother-centered strict) were uncovered, with the former one the most beneficial for adolescent outcomes.

Implications

Findings highlighted the necessity of reconsidering parenting typologies from a two-parent perspective and provided valuable insights for future interventions in China.

目的本研究旨在通过考虑父母之间的差异和家庭内部的组合来识别中国的父母教养模式，并研究其与青少年情绪、行为、自我适应和学业成绩的关系。育儿的异质性已得到广泛认可；然而，父母亲教养方式组合的概况及其在多个领域对青少年适应的益处仍不清楚。方法本研究包括2,877个完整的中国青少年家庭（年龄为12.3岁）及其家长和班主任。收集中国父母报告的温暖、控制、保护和鼓励成就的四个关键育儿维度，以及青少年报告的情绪、行为、自我适应和学业成绩，并进行潜在特征分析。结果我们的研究结果揭示了四种教养模式（即以慈爱和父亲为中心的严格、以母亲为中心的严格、忽视型和高度亲昵型严格）。在以慈爱和父亲为中心的严格家庭中，拥有足够的温暖、适度的控制和保护以及足够的父亲参与的青少年，在多个领域的适应能力最好。结论在中国发现了两种具有父母间差异的新型教养模式（即亲昵型、父亲中心型和母亲中心型），其中亲昵型和父亲中心型对青少年发展最有利。研究结果强调了从双亲角度重新考虑父母类型的必要性，并为中国未来的干预措施提供了有价值的见解。

Objective

This study qualitatively examined the experiences and perspectives of adopted teenagers with sexual minority parents with respect to school-based sexuality health education.

Background

Previous research has established that traditional school-based sexuality and reproductive health education curricula are largely heteronormative and cisnormative and fail to reflect the experiences and identities of diverse teenagers from diverse families.

Method

We conducted a thematic analysis of interview data from 43 adopted adolescents in the United States, aged 13 to 18, from sexual minority, two-parent families. Half of participants were LGBQ+, and one fifth were trans/gender diverse.

Results

School-based sexual and reproductive health education was infrequently described as holistic, nuanced, and/or LGBTQ+ inclusive; LGBTQ+ inclusive curricula were mostly recalled by participants in progressive urban areas and/or who attended private schools. Family-building options other than procreative sexual intercourse were rarely discussed in school. Some LGBTQ+ adopted teenagers engaged in advocacy efforts to include sexual and gender identity content in curricula.

Conclusion

Guided by queer family theory, findings reveal insights into the experiences of school-based sexuality and reproductive health education among adolescents whose family diversity is rarely captured in traditional or sexuality-specific school-based education.

Implications

Our findings highlight potential deficiencies experienced by adolescents from diverse families vis-à-vis traditional sexuality education, which holds implications for researchers, practitioners, and educators.

目的探讨性少数父母收养青少年在学校性健康教育方面的经验和观点。以往的研究表明，传统的以学校为基础的性和生殖健康教育课程在很大程度上是异性恋和顺规范的，不能反映来自不同家庭的不同青少年的经历和身份。方法对43名年龄在13岁至18岁的美国被收养青少年的访谈数据进行专题分析，这些青少年来自性少数、双亲家庭。一半的参与者是LGBQ+，五分之一的参与者是跨性别者。结果以学校为基础的性与生殖健康教育很少被描述为整体的、细致的和/或LGBTQ+包容性的；LGBTQ+包容性课程大多是由进步城市地区和/或私立学校的参与者回忆起来的。学校里很少讨论除了生殖性行为之外的家庭建设选择。一些LGBTQ+被收养的青少年参与了倡导工作，将性和性别认同内容纳入课程。结论在酷儿家庭理论的指导下，研究结果揭示了在传统的或针对性取向的校本教育中很少涉及家庭多样性的青少年进行校本性教育和生殖健康教育的经验。我们的研究结果强调了来自不同家庭的青少年在-à-vis传统性教育方面的潜在缺陷，这对研究人员、从业者和教育者具有启示意义。

Objective

The purpose of this study was to investigate the coping skills used by low-income families with young children to enhance resilience during and following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background

During the pandemic, families with young children were significantly impacted by stressors related to health, access to resources, financial stability, housing, child care, and educational engagement. Although the pandemic has resolved, these stressors continue to disproportionally affect this population.

Methods

Using purposive sampling, participants included families (N = 24) with young children (0–5 years). Semistructured interviews were conducted to examine participant experiences. Transcripts were coded thematically using grounded theory methodology.

Results

Families experienced significant disruptions before, during, and after the pandemic yet showed resilience through the recognition and use of coping strategies.

Conclusion

Results expand understanding of social determinants of health (SDOH) as related to a vulnerable and understudied population. Findings suggest hardships are mediated by SDOH, yet families with young children demonstrate resilience by leveraging coping strategies, regardless of intensity of adversity.

Implications

The study sheds light on a population disproportionately affected by health disparities and lack of access to resources. Practitioners must be mindful of the impact of SDOH on clients and use a strengths-based approach focused on clients' resilience.

目的本研究的目的是调查有幼儿的低收入家庭在COVID-19大流行期间和之后为增强抵御力而使用的应对技能。大流行期间，有幼儿的家庭受到与健康、资源获取、金融稳定、住房、儿童保育和教育参与有关的压力因素的重大影响。虽然大流行病已经解决，但这些压力因素继续不成比例地影响着这一人口。方法采用目的抽样方法，纳入有0-5岁幼儿的家庭（N = 24）。进行半结构化访谈以检查参与者的经历。使用扎根理论方法对转录本进行主题编码。结果家庭在疫情之前、期间和之后经历了严重的破坏，但通过认识和使用应对策略表现出了复原力。结论：研究结果扩大了对健康社会决定因素（SDOH）与弱势和未充分研究人群相关的理解。研究结果表明，困难是由SDOH介导的，然而，无论逆境的强度如何，有幼儿的家庭都通过利用应对策略表现出弹性。这项研究揭示了受健康差距和缺乏获得资源机会的不成比例影响的人口。从业人员必须注意SDOH对客户的影响，并使用基于优势的方法，重点关注客户的弹性。

Objective

Guided by the vulnerability-stress-adaptation (VSA) model, we examined associations among family-of-origin adversity, secure attachment behaviors, and marital satisfaction.

Background

Not all individuals with family-of-origin adversity have an unhappy marriage. We examine secure attachment behaviors to understand links between family-of-origin adversity and marital satisfaction.

Method

We used multilevel structural equation modeling with five-waves of dyadic survey data (N = 1,827 couples) drawn from a nationally representative sample of 2,178 U.S. newly married couples.

Results

We tested between-couple and within-couple effects. At the between-couple level, spouses with higher secure attachment behaviors reported greater marital satisfaction, wives' elevated attachment levels attenuated declines in their marital satisfaction over time, husbands' family-of-origin adversity interacted with their secure attachment behaviors, and wives' satisfaction was lower only when husbands reported both high adversity and low attachment. At the within-couple level, increases in spouses' secure attachment behaviors were associated with concurrent increases in their own and their partners' satisfaction.

Conclusion

The findings support the importance of secure attachment behaviors in promoting satisfaction in marriages, whether as a newly married couple or over time as a married couple.

Implications

We provide insights for couples and family life educators on the importance of secure attachment behaviors in promoting marital satisfaction and how to help spouses navigate the negative influence from their adverse family of origin. Additionally, couple therapists and marriage enrichment programs could tailor interventions for men and women, given that secure attachment behaviors operate differently as key adaptive processes for husbands versus wives per the VSA model.

目的在脆弱性-压力-适应（VSA）模型的指导下，研究原生家庭逆境、安全依恋行为和婚姻满意度之间的关系。并非所有家庭出身逆境的人都有不幸的婚姻。我们检查安全依恋行为，以了解原生家庭逆境和婚姻满意度之间的联系。方法采用多层结构方程模型，采用五波双元调查数据（N = 1827对），这些数据来自美国2178个具有全国代表性的样本新婚夫妇。结果我们测试了偶间效应和偶内效应。在夫妻关系层面，安全依恋行为较高的配偶报告了更高的婚姻满意度，妻子的高依恋水平随着时间的推移减弱了婚姻满意度的下降，丈夫的原生家庭逆境与他们的安全依恋行为相互作用，只有当丈夫报告高逆境和低依恋时，妻子的满意度才会降低。在夫妻关系层面，配偶安全依恋行为的增加与他们自己和伴侣满意度的同时增加有关。研究结果支持了安全依恋行为在促进婚姻满意度方面的重要性，无论是新婚夫妇还是婚后夫妇。我们为夫妻和家庭生活教育者提供了关于安全依恋行为在促进婚姻满意度方面的重要性以及如何帮助配偶应对其不良原生家庭的负面影响的见解。此外，夫妻治疗师和婚姻充实项目可以为男性和女性量身定制干预措施，因为根据VSA模型，安全依恋行为作为关键适应过程对丈夫和妻子的运作方式不同。

Objective

The researchers evaluated the effectiveness of an attachment-based parent education program with a playful approach to child discipline.

Background

Evaluations of attachment-based parent education programs have shown robust improvements in parent and child outcomes; however, few attachment-based programs include a component for child discipline. Aware Parenting is an attachment-based program that teaches parents a playful approach to discipline.

Methods

Forty-six parents in Australia with children aged between 2 and 4 years were randomly allocated to two parenting program groups: Aware Parenting with playful discipline (treatment group) and Aware Parenting without playful discipline (active control). Outcomes were measured with the Parental Efficacy and Empowerment Measure, the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, the Attachment Relationship Inventory—Caregiver Perception (ARI-CP), and the Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale. The primary analysis was a split-plot analysis of variance (ANOVA) that analyzed main effects and interactions of time and the program type. Exploratory one-way ANOVA and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) controlling for baseline were also conducted. Improvements were expected in both groups, but it was anticipated the treatment group would have greater improvements.

Results

Both groups improved on the parental self-efficacy; child prosocial behavior; and ambivalent, disorganized, and secure attachment scales. There was a significant interaction for avoidant attachment scores (p = .004), with a large effect size favoring the treatment group. ANCOVA indicated that ambivalent attachment scores of the treatment group improved significantly (p = .014) with a large effect size.

Conclusion

Playful discipline could be an effective option for parents to manage child behavior and improve the parent–child relationship.

Implications

Future studies are needed to explore the potential benefits of teaching parents to use a playful approach to discipline in parent education programs.

目的研究人员评估了亲子依恋教育项目的有效性，该项目采用了一种有趣的方式来对待儿童纪律。基于依恋的父母教育项目的评估显示，父母和孩子的结果有了显著的改善；然而，很少有基于依恋的项目包括儿童纪律的组成部分。有意识的养育是一个基于依恋的项目，教给父母一种有趣的方法来管教孩子。方法将46名澳大利亚2 ~ 4岁儿童的家长随机分为两组：有意识的育儿伴游戏训练组（治疗组）和有意识的育儿伴游戏训练组（主动对照组）。结果采用父母效能与授权量表、优势与困难问卷、依恋关系量表-照顾者感知量表（ARI-CP）和华威-爱丁堡心理健康量表进行测量。主要分析是方差的分裂图分析（ANOVA），分析时间和节目类型的主要影响和相互作用。并进行探索性单因素方差分析和控制基线的协方差分析（ANCOVA）。预期两组都有改善，但预期治疗组会有更大的改善。结果两组家长自我效能感均有显著提高；儿童亲社会行为；以及矛盾型，无序型和安全型依恋量表。回避依恋得分有显著的相互作用（p = 0.004），治疗组有较大的效应量。ANCOVA结果显示，治疗组的矛盾依恋评分显著提高（p = 0.014），且效应量大。结论亲子游戏是家长管理儿童行为、改善亲子关系的有效选择。未来的研究需要探索教育父母在家长教育项目中使用一种有趣的方法来管教孩子的潜在好处。

Background

While American and European research on dyadic coping in couples facing cancer is extensive, studies on Taiwanese couples are sparse.

Objective

This study explored dyadic coping strategies and mutual support dynamics among married couples in Taiwan during breast cancer treatment.

Method

Ten Taiwanese couples participated in semistructured interviews individually to address the research question “How do couples facing breast cancer view the influences of their coping methods on treatment journeys and marital relationships?”

Results

Three dyadic coping themes emerged: (a) engaged in selective communication about stressors while attentively observing each other's emotions and adopting a positive outlook toward cancer-related challenges; (b) integrated cultural values to shape dyadic coping into a positive framework of shared responsibility due to enqing (恩情) or a pessimistic approach emphasizing ren (忍耐); and (c) prioritized enqing and ren over individual willingness and needs and placing importance on the “provide-and-receive” mutual support.

Conclusion

Taiwanese couples applied dyadic coping in ways uniquely shaped by the Chinese cultural values of enqing and ren to strengthen mutual support during cancer treatment.

Implications

Practitioners should be sensitive to the cultural context embraced by couples during cancer treatment, appreciating the significance of enqing and ren in dyadic coping.

研究背景欧美对癌症夫妻二元应对的研究相当广泛，但对台湾夫妻的研究却很少。目的探讨台湾地区已婚夫妇在乳腺癌治疗过程中的二元应对策略及相互支持动态。方法对10对台湾夫妇进行半结构化访谈，探讨“面对乳腺癌的夫妇如何看待他们的应对方式对治疗过程和婚姻关系的影响？”结果出现了三个二元应对主题：(a)对压力源进行选择性沟通，同时注意观察彼此的情绪，并对癌症相关挑战采取积极的态度；(b)整合文化价值，将二元应对塑造成一种积极的共享责任框架，这是由于恩情（）或一种强调仁的悲观方法（）；（三）将激励和关爱置于个人意愿和需求之上，重视“提供和接受”的相互支持。结论台湾夫妇在癌症治疗过程中，以独特的“恩情”和“仁”文化价值观塑造的二元应对方式加强相互支持。在癌症治疗过程中，医生应该对夫妻所接受的文化背景敏感，认识恩情和仁在二元应对中的重要性。

Objective

We examined whether parents' beliefs about the world as a threatening place are related to overprotective parenting, that is, parents' provision of excessive protection considering their child's developmental level.

Background

Overprotection may occur in a societal context of perceived threats. Although motivated by good intentions in such context, it is associated with negative outcomes in adolescents.

Method

In a sample of mothers and fathers of 320 adolescents, this questionnaire-based study examined actor and partner effects in the association between threat beliefs and overprotective parenting, using actor–partner interdependence modeling, in association with parents' anxiety and mindfulness.

Results

Both actor effects (i.e., both maternal and paternal threat beliefs related positively to their overprotection) and partner effects (i.e., mothers' and fathers' overprotection related to their partner's beliefs, above and beyond their own beliefs) were identified. A higher level of anxiety was associated with more overprotection, whereas mindfulness predicted less overprotection. No partner effects were identified for anxiety or mindfulness. We found evidence for maternal anxiety moderating the relation between maternal threat beliefs and maternal overprotection.

Conclusion

Both parents' threat beliefs were associated with overprotective parenting and were mutually related. Anxiety and mindfulness were also related to overprotection.

Implications

This study provides insight for clinicians and parents into the role of threat beliefs for understanding overprotective parenting and the role of family dynamics, as well as individual-level factors (i.e., anxiety and mindfulness).

目的探讨父母将世界视为威胁的信念是否与过度保护育儿有关，即父母考虑到孩子的发展水平而提供过度保护。过度保护可能发生在感知威胁的社会背景下。虽然在这种情况下动机是好的，但它与青少年的负面结果有关。方法以320名青少年的父母为样本，采用行为者-伴侣相互依赖模型，研究了威胁信念与过度保护育儿之间的行为者和伴侣效应，以及父母焦虑和正念的关系。结果发现了行动者效应（即母亲和父亲的威胁信念与他们的过度保护呈正相关）和伴侣效应（即母亲和父亲的过度保护与其伴侣的信念相关，超出了他们自己的信念）。较高水平的焦虑与更多的过度保护有关，而正念则预示着更少的过度保护。没有发现伴侣对焦虑或正念的影响。我们发现了母亲焦虑调节母亲威胁信念与母亲过度保护之间关系的证据。结论父母双方的威胁信念均与过度保护教养有关，且相互关联。焦虑和正念也与过度保护有关。本研究为临床医生和家长提供了关于威胁信念在理解过度保护父母和家庭动态以及个人层面因素（即焦虑和正念）中的作用的见解。

Objective

The goal was to explore service providers' perspectives on coordinating support for children experiencing maternal incarceration in Australia.

Background

Children with incarcerated mothers face significant challenges in accessing support services. Existing research lacks comprehensive insights into service providers' understanding of systemic barriers and potential solutions.

Method

We conducted focus groups with 21 service providers experienced in supporting children affected by maternal incarceration. A reflexive and iterative thematic analysis approach was used, employing inductive and deductive coding methods to analyze focus group transcripts.

Results

Analysis revealed that existing services play a role in supporting children experiencing maternal incarceration, but barriers exist due to insufficient information sharing and system fragmentation. Service providers identified the need for a “system navigator” to help families navigate the complex support landscape.

Conclusion

The current support system for children experiencing maternal incarceration is fragmented and lacks effective coordination mechanisms.

Implications

This study proposes a system navigation model to provide a more coordinated approach to supporting these children, with potential applications for policymakers and practitioners.

本研究的目的是探讨服务提供者在协调对澳大利亚经历母亲监禁的儿童的支持方面的观点。母亲被监禁的儿童在获得支持服务方面面临重大挑战。现有的研究缺乏对服务提供商对系统性障碍和潜在解决方案的理解的全面见解。方法对21名有经验的母亲监禁儿童服务提供者进行焦点小组调查。采用自反迭代的主题分析方法，采用归纳和演绎编码方法对焦点小组文本进行分析。结果分析表明，现有服务在支持母亲监禁儿童方面发挥了作用，但由于信息共享不足和系统碎片化，存在障碍。服务提供者确定需要一个“系统导航员”来帮助家庭在复杂的支持环境中导航。结论目前对母亲监禁儿童的支持体系较为零散，缺乏有效的协调机制。本研究提出了一个系统导航模型，以提供一种更协调的方法来支持这些儿童，对政策制定者和从业者具有潜在的应用价值。

Objective

This study explored the mediational roles of parental depression and coparenting to the effects of parental material hardship on child social skills by considering the interdependent relationship between father and mother.

Background

The family stress model (FSM) represents a common framework for examining the effects of financial stressors on child development outcomes. However, previous studies have overlooked the role of coparenting and the dyadic family system, which incorporates reports from both fathers and mothers, in understanding the effects of material hardship through the FSM.

Method

Longitudinal data from the Future of Family and Child Wellbeing study were analyzed using an actor–partner interdependent model. A total of 3,003 children, along with their fathers and mothers, were included. Maternal and paternal material hardship was reported when the child was aged 3 years. Maternal and paternal depression and coparenting were reported when the child was aged 5 years. Child social skills were reported when the child was aged 9 years.

Results

The indirect effect of maternal material hardship on child social skills was mediated by maternal depression and mother perceived coparenting. An interdependent relationship between father and mother regarding material hardship and coparenting was found.

Conclusion

This study supports the FSM in the family system though maternal coparenting and depression and emphasizes the importance of material hardship on parent and child adjustment.

Implications

The findings underscore interventions designed to foster parental collaboration and reduce the psychological burden associated with economic hardship.

目的探讨父母抑郁和父母教养对父母物质困难对儿童社会技能影响的中介作用。家庭压力模型（FSM）代表了一个共同的框架，用于检查经济压力因素对儿童发展结果的影响。然而，以前的研究忽略了父母养育和双元家庭系统的作用，双元家庭系统包含了父亲和母亲的报告，通过FSM来理解物质困难的影响。方法采用行为者-伴侣相互依赖模型对未来家庭与儿童健康研究的纵向数据进行分析。总共有3003名儿童及其父母被纳入调查。据报道，当孩子3岁时，母亲和父亲的物质困难。当孩子5岁时，报告了母亲和父亲的抑郁和父母的养育。儿童的社交技能在9岁时被报告。结果母亲物质困难对儿童社会技能的间接影响主要通过母亲抑郁和母亲感知的教养方式来调节。在物质困难和养育子女方面，父亲和母亲之间存在相互依赖的关系。结论本研究通过母亲教养和抑郁来支持FSM在家庭系统中的作用，并强调物质困难对亲子适应的重要性。研究结果强调了旨在促进父母合作和减少与经济困难相关的心理负担的干预措施。

Companion animals and ecoexpansive kinship in the lives of LGBTQ+ people LGBTQ+人群生活中的伴侣动物和生态扩张的亲属关系

IF 1.8 3区社会学 Q2 FAMILY STUDIES

Family Relations

Pub Date : 2025-09-25 DOI: 10.1111/fare.70049

Objective

The goal was to apply an ecoexpansive kinship model to assess how LGBTQ+ individuals navigate the interplay of multiple social-ecological levels in their conceptualization of family, including companion animals.

Background

Families of choice are prominent among LGBTQ+ people in response to marginalization. Companion animals are increasingly incorporated into multilevel family dynamics, demonstrating growing family diversity. The ecoexpansive kinship model proposes a multilevel ecological model of family that explicitly integrates companion animals.

Method

In-depth interviews with 45 LGBTQ+ people were conducted and analyzed using an iterative deductive qualitative approach to evaluate the applicability of the ecoexpansive kinship model.

Results

As individuals, LGBTQ+ people understand their chosen companion animals as integral aspects of their identity and sense of self. Companion animals served as key actors in their family dynamics across structure, functions, interactions, and life stages. At the community level, participants' companion animals facilitated the formation of wider social bonds that promoted societal integration. Structurally, LGBTQ+ people identified societal stigmas and constraints they faced having companion animal family members.

Conclusions

These analyses demonstrate the applicability of the ecoexpansive kinship model through the multifaceted role that companion animals play in LGBTQ+ people's lives as chosen family.

Implications

By documenting the integral role that companion animals play in queer people's familial lives, these findings can inform vital LGBTQ+-based resources across individual and family well-being.

目的应用生态扩张亲属关系模型来评估LGBTQ+个体如何在其家庭概念（包括伴侣动物）的多个社会生态水平的相互作用中进行导航。在LGBTQ+群体中，选择家庭是对边缘化的突出回应。伴侣动物越来越多地被纳入多层次的家庭动态，显示出日益增长的家庭多样性。生态扩张亲属关系模型提出了一个明确整合伴侣动物的多层次家庭生态模型。方法对45名LGBTQ+人群进行深度访谈，采用迭代演绎定性方法进行分析，评价生态扩张亲属关系模型的适用性。作为个体，LGBTQ+人群将他们选择的伴侣动物视为他们身份和自我意识的一个组成部分。伴侣动物在其家庭结构、功能、互动和生命阶段的动态中扮演着关键角色。在社区层面，参与者的伴侣动物促进了更广泛的社会纽带的形成，从而促进了社会融合。从结构上讲，LGBTQ+人群发现了他们在拥有伴侣动物家庭成员时所面临的社会耻辱和限制。这些分析通过伴侣动物在LGBTQ+人群作为选择家庭的生活中所扮演的多方面角色，证明了生态扩张亲属关系模型的适用性。通过记录伴侣动物在酷儿家庭生活中扮演的不可或缺的角色，这些发现可以为基于LGBTQ+的个人和家庭福祉的重要资源提供信息。
