This study sought to understand the roles of partners in pregnancy, childbirth, and childrearing in Indigenous communities. It explores supportive and unsupportive attitudes in the relationships mothers experienced, and how these relationships affected their lives.
Background
Settler colonialism has negatively impacted Indigenous communities. However, little research has explored how it has influenced partner and social support during the perinatal time period.
Methods
Through 31 semistructured interviews with women from a tribe in the southeastern United States, participants described their experiences with supportive and unsupportive partners and how that shaped their experiences during pregnancy, childbirth, and childrearing.
Results
Participants described themes of (a) supportive and unsupportive partner relationships, (b) importance of partner support in childbirth, and (c) mothers as primary caregivers.
Conclusion
Results suggest that women experienced a wide range of partner relationships, and they relied more on their female family members to provide support during this time, rather than counting on their male counterparts.
Implications
Health care providers may want to take these findings into consideration when approaching their patient's care. These findings indicate that the impacts of settler colonialism continue to impact family relationships for the participants in this study.

Objective
This study aimed to develop and validate the psychometric structure of the Assessment Inventory on relationship Risks and Resources (AIRR), a multidimensional, yet brief, package of existing single-domain measures (relationship satisfaction, intimacy, trust, commitment, conflict strategies, reconciliation, coparenting, sexual satisfaction, and responsive attention).
Background
In evidence-based approaches to couple interventions, a conceptualization of a couple's key issues and strengths is often an important clinical task.
Method
A representative sample of 1,371 individuals, 18–69 years of age and cohabiting with a partner, completed the AIRR online. Initially, we randomly split the data in two halves. On the first split-half of data, we reduced the number of items, explored the psychometrics, and tested the internal validity of each scale separately as well as combined, using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. On the second half, we tested replicability of initial results.
Results
After item reduction, each scale in the AIRR showed internal reliabilities (Cronbach's alphas) ranging from .72 to .94. Results confirmed a seven-factor structure of the 52-item package with the coparenting scale omitted.
Conclusion and implications
Findings supported the AIRR as a reliable inventory that may effectively assist clinicians in the assessment of relationship risks and resources.

The objective of this research was to characterize pretreatment relationship functioning among low-income couples seeking community-based relationship education (RE) and determine whether treatment outcomes differ based on this dimension.
Background
RE programs were developed with the goal of preventing future deterioration among currently satisfied couples, but there is evidence to suggest that distressed couples are seeking community-based RE to improve their relationship.
Method
Data were drawn from the Parents and Children Together study, a randomized controlled trial of RE with a sample of 1,595 low-income couples. Relationship functioning was assessed pre-randomization and at 12-months post-randomization. Latent class analysis was used to identify groups of couples with similar pretreatment functioning, and treatment effects were assessed within each group.
Results
Four classes of pretreatment relationship functioning emerged: Happy, Stable (44%), Moderately Distressed (39%), Highly Distressed Women (10%), and Highly Distressed Men (7%). Significant 12-month treatment effects were found only for women in the Happy, Stable group.
Conclusion
A large number of distressed couples enroll in RE programs but do not benefit from the intervention.
Implications
To ensure that all couples receive an intervention that is effective for them, changes to the current delivery of community-based RE programs is needed. Couples should be screened for their level of relationship functioning and assigned to an intervention that is appropriate for their needs. To accomplish this, RE curricula may need to be adapted to address the needs of distressed couples, or RE providers may need to partner with agencies delivering more intensive treatment (such as couple therapy).
这项研究的目的是描述寻求社区关系教育（RE）的低收入夫妇在治疗前的关系功能，并确定治疗结果是否因这一维度而有所不同。RE 计划的目标是防止目前满意的夫妇未来关系恶化，但有证据表明，陷入困境的夫妇也在寻求社区关系教育来改善他们的关系。数据来自 "父母与子女在一起 "研究，这是一项针对 1595 对低收入夫妇进行的 RE 随机对照试验。对随机前和随机后 12 个月的夫妻关系功能进行了评估。采用潜类分析来确定治疗前具有相似功能的夫妻组别，并在每个组别内评估治疗效果：快乐、稳定（44%）、中度苦恼（39%）、高度苦恼的女性（10%）和高度苦恼的男性（7%）。为了确保所有夫妇都能接受对他们有效的干预，需要改变目前基于社区的 RE 项目的实施方式。应该对夫妇的关系功能水平进行筛查，并为他们分配适合他们需要的干预措施。为实现这一目标，可能需要对 RE 课程进行调整，以满足陷入困境的夫妇的需求，或者 RE 提供者可能需要与提供更深入治疗（如夫妇治疗）的机构合作。

In this research, we examine perceptions of couple relationships and intimacy among older couples when one partner is diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), based on ambiguous loss theory.
Background
Many studies have examined couples with one partner affected by dementia, yet few have explored intimacy when the affected partner is diagnosed with MCI.
Method
A qualitative-phenomenological approach in which data were collected through in-depth, semistructured, face-to-face interviews with 16 men and women aged 67–90.
Results
The nondiagnosed partners live in the present while acknowledging the changes caused by aging and the diagnosis. In contrast, the diagnosed partners tend to live in the past. In line with ambiguous loss theory, the nondiagnosed partners reported that their diagnosed spouses are physically present yet many aspects of their personalities are partially absent.
Conclusion
The findings reveal two patterns of coping with the consequences of loss. Understanding these relationships offers insights into how to care for individuals with MCI.
Implications
The results highlight that individuals with MCI and their partners do not invariably constitute a homogenous group, necessitating a critical appraisal of partners' roles and expectations before initiating therapeutic interventions.

To explore why individuals engage in status consumption despite scarce monetary resources in the Chinese context. This exploration employs a family influence perspective focusing on whether the parental relationship is associated with the status consumption tendency of individuals.
Method
Three surveys were conducted, and the responses of 637 Chinese participants were used to test the hypothesis systematically.
Results
Participants who had a close relationship with their parents were more likely to engage in status consumption, had a more positive attitude toward luxury brands, and spent more money on products that signal status. This effect is driven by participants' perceived social support from close parental relationship. This positive effect of parental relationship on the status consumption holds when their monetary resources are scarce but disappears when their monetary resources are abundant.
Conclusion
The findings suggest that a close relationship with parents increases status consumption. When engaging in status consumption, social support received from parents and monetary resources are interchangeable.
Implications
It is important to cultivate an appropriate consumption concept in interactions with the next generation.

In this study, we examined the bidirectional association between fathers' work satisfaction and children's socioemotional skills from T1 (age 2) to T2 (age 4–5) and the mediating role of fathers' parenting.
Background
For many parents, balancing family and work roles can be challenging, particularly for fathers who are now expected to be both “ideal workers” and “involved fathers.” With multiple roles, fathers' experiences at work and in the family may have a mutual influence on each other.
Method
This study used structural equation modeling on secondary data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort, to examine the associations and mediation mechanisms.
Results
Results indicate a positive association between fathers' work satisfaction at T1 and children's socioemotional skills at T2 through fathers' higher self-efficacy and lower parenting stress. Additionally, there was a positive association between children's socioemotional skills at T1 and fathers' work satisfaction at T2 through fathers' higher responsibility and lower parenting stress.
Conclusion
Findings provide support for the spillover theory regarding the mutual influence of fathers' work-related experiences and children's development.
Implications
To help parents balance the demands of work and family, effective parenting education programs and supportive or person-centered workplace policies are both essential.

We examined whether mothers' and child's regulatory capacity, measured by effortful control (EC) and its facets, is associated with variance in mother–child within-dyad similarity in multiple aspects of positive emotions and behaviors during their interaction.
Background
Both parents' and children's self-regulation capacities may help them to modulate their behaviors and emotions to be mutually responsive to and harmonious with their interaction partner.
Methods
Participants were children of 3- to-7-year-olds and their mothers (n = 147). Mothers completed a set of questionnaires regarding themselves, their child, and demographics, and mother–child interactions were observed during three cooperative tasks. We estimated mother–child within-dyad similarity during their brief interaction using the Q-correlation method.
Results
Mothers' general EC was statistically associated with greater mother–child similarity, but children's EC was not. When testing the subscales of EC, greater mother–child similarity was associated with mother's higher attentional control, child's better attention focusing, child's lower levels of low intensity pleasure, and older child age.
Conclusion
Mother's higher attentional control and child's better attention focusing are associated with greater mother and child within-dyad similarity during their interactions.
Implications
This study highlights the importance of considering child and mother self-regulation for intervention efforts to better understand how dyads match and co-modulate their behaviors and emotions during their interactions.

Objective
Using a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach, this study documents Latine immigrant families' work, childcare, and education experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic to inform policy and practice to support Latine families.
Background
Latine immigrant communities, comprising undocumented and mixed-status families, were among the hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to employment and housing challenges, children and families lost access to the important academic supports and social services built into childcare programs and schools.
Method
For this study, we collected in-depth qualitative interview data from mothers who were immigrants from Central America and Mexico (N = 23) as part of an ongoing CBPR project. Using community coding techniques, data were analyzed in partnership with our Community Advisory Board, Amigas de la Comunidad.
Results
In the context of illegality, participants and their families who already feared deportation and family separation, faced added burdens during the pandemic including job loss, school and childcare closures, and isolation. Parents worried about meeting their families' basic needs, getting sick, losing loved ones to COVID-19, and being evicted from their housing.
Conclusion
While participants shared stories of resilience and resistance, they also reflected on stories loss and hardship—experiences that were exacerbated by anti-immigrant laws and policies that made navigating the pandemic especially punishing for immigrant families.
Implications
On the basis of study findings, program and policy implications for serving Latine children and youth and their immigrant parents, especially those with mixed documentation status, are discussed.

This study investigated the intergenerational transmission of utilitarian and deontological inclinations, examining whether these pass from parents to adult children and exploring the potential moderating effects of parenting style and intergenerational involvement in this process.Family factors, including religious norms and work values, influence moral development, but the intergenerational transmission of two moral inclinations—utilitarianism (emphasizing consequences, e.g., sacrificing one person to save five) and deontology (emphasizing intrinsic norms, e.g., refraining from intentionally harming the innocent)—remains underexplored.We measured these inclinations in 171 parent–adult child pairs using a moral decision thought experiment and questionnaires on parenting style and intergenerational involvement.Positive correlations emerged between parents and adult children for both inclinations. “Emotional warmth” in parenting style and intergenerational involvement showed significant negative moderating effects on the transmission of utilitarianism between generations.This study provides empirical evidence of intergenerational transmission of moral inclinations. Higher emotional warmth and increased intergenerational involvement inhibit the transmission of utilitarian inclinations, leading to reduced prioritization of better consequences.Enhanced emotional warmth and greater intergenerational involvement by parents can deter the transmission of utilitarian inclinations among adult children, prioritizing adherence to intrinsic norms over intentional harm for greater benefits.
