Objective

This study examined the association between fathers’ experience of childhood trauma (CT) and paternal involvement and whether the severity of the fathers’ psychological symptoms and the quality of their coparenting relationship contribute to this association.

Background

CT is associated with long-term mental health and interpersonal functioning; therefore experiences of CT may have implications for fathers’ later paternal involvement.

Method

The study sample included 366 fathers from Quebec, Canada, with children aged birth to 6 years, who completed measures assessing their CT, psychological health, quality of their current coparenting relationship, and levels of paternal involvement. Path analyses were conducted.

Results

No direct association between CT and paternal involvement was observed. However, CT predicted higher levels of psychological symptoms and a poorer coparenting relationship. In turn, psychological symptoms were associated with lower levels of emotional support toward the child, whereas the quality of the coparenting relationship predicted levels of psychological involvement in fatherhood and fathers’ engagement in emotional support, physical care, stimulating activities, and child-related responsibilities.

Conclusion

The findings suggest an indirect association between CT and paternal involvement, primarily through the association between CT and the coparenting relationship.

Implications

This study highlights the importance of interventions that support coparenting quality and address psychological symptoms in fathers who have experienced CT.

目的探讨父亲童年创伤经历与父亲参与的关系，以及父亲心理症状的严重程度和亲子关系的质量是否与这种关系有关。背景CT与长期心理健康和人际功能有关；因此，CT的经历可能对父亲后来的父亲参与有影响。方法研究样本包括366名来自加拿大魁北克省的父亲，他们的孩子年龄从出生到6岁，他们完成了他们的CT、心理健康、他们目前的亲子关系质量和父亲参与程度的评估。进行通径分析。结果CT与父亲参与无直接关系。然而，CT预测了更高水平的心理症状和更差的亲子关系。反过来，心理症状与对孩子的情感支持水平较低有关，而父母关系的质量预测了父亲的心理参与水平，以及父亲在情感支持、身体照顾、刺激活动和与儿童有关的责任方面的参与水平。结论CT与父亲参与之间存在间接关联，主要是通过CT与父母关系之间的关联。本研究强调了干预措施的重要性，这些干预措施支持父母养育的质量，并解决经历过CT的父亲的心理症状。

Objective

This study aimed to implement a culturally adapted Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP) for marital couples in Beijing, China, and evaluate its impact on marital relationship–related outcomes.

Background

The rising divorce rate and decreasing marital satisfaction are becoming significant social concerns in China, which faces a critical shortage of culturally appropriate educational resources for relationship education. It is therefore urgent to tailor and pilot couple relationship education interventions in China.

Methods

The study design was a quasi-experimental intervention involving couples and individuals within marital relationships in Beijing, China. We assigned 112 participants equally into two groups: a treatment group that received the structural PREP program and a control group that did not.

Results

Overall, the PREP intervention improved all seven dimensions of relationship quality that we examined, with each of these effects statistically significant at the .01 level (the effect size of impacts ranges from 0.32 to 0.93).

Conclusions

Our study showed that a culturally adapted PREP had a significant impact on improving marital couples' relationship quality-related outcomes.

Implications

The noticeable benefits from our study suggest the need for locally adapted couple relationship education programs to prevent marital distress and divorce.

Objective

We analyzed longitudinal data from adoptive parents to consider changes in the nature and experience of indirect contact with birth parents.

Background

Adoption can offer stability to children who are unable to remain in the care of their birth family. Indirect contact between adopted children and birth parents can be beneficial, but poor implementation can be destabilizing.

Method

We used survey and interview data from a prospective longitudinal study of adoptive families in Wales. Descriptive analysis was used to characterize contact and support needs. Thematic analysis enabled consideration of why contact changed over time.

Results

Indirect contact decreased over time. Key themes included adoptive parents' perceptions and experiences of contact, perceptions of birth family, and varying experiences of services affecting the seeking of professional support for contact.

Conclusion

The study demonstrates adoptive parents' commitment to contact but gives new insights on why indirect contact can be hard to maintain. We also consider these findings alongside research into direct contact where adoptive parents reported greater long-term contact but a different set of challenges.

Implications

Adoptive and birth parents should be supported when implementing indirect contact and if contact falters. Resolving implementation issues for individual families should be prioritized.

目的分析养父母的纵向数据，探讨与亲生父母间接接触的性质和经历的变化。收养可以为那些无法留在出生家庭照顾的儿童提供稳定。被收养的孩子和亲生父母之间的间接接触可能是有益的，但执行不力可能会破坏稳定。方法采用威尔士收养家庭前瞻性纵向研究的调查和访谈数据。描述性分析用于描述接触和支持需求。专题分析使人们能够考虑到为什么接触会随着时间的推移而改变。结果随着时间的推移，间接接触减少。关键主题包括养父母对接触的看法和经验，对出生家庭的看法，以及影响寻求接触专业支持的各种服务经验。这项研究证明了养父母对接触的承诺，但也为为什么间接接触很难维持提供了新的见解。我们还将这些发现与对直接接触的研究一起考虑，在直接接触中，养父母报告了更多的长期接触，但面临不同的挑战。当实施间接接触时，如果接触不稳定，应支持养父母和亲生父母。应优先解决个别家庭的执行问题。

Objective

This study aims to examine the experiences and meanings attached to grandparenting among Israeli Jewish grandparents in the aftermath of the October 7 terror attack on Israel and the ensuing war.

Background

Traumatic events can disrupt intergenerational relationships, yet grandparents often play a crucial role in providing emotional and practical support. Despite this, relatively little is known about grandparents' adaptation to their roles during a collective trauma.

Method

Semistructured interviews with 21 Israeli Jewish grandparents (aged 40–73) to grandchildren up to 10 years old, were conducted 2 to 4 weeks after the terror attack. Thematic analysis was performed.

Results

Four themes emerged, reflecting grandparents' perceptions of their roles: cognitive commitment and its costs; emotional engagement; symbolic dimensions of repair and continuity; and active behavioral involvement. These dimensions were found to fit the cognitive, emotional, symbolic, and behavioral dimensions of the multidimensional experience of grandparenthood model. Grandparenthood dimensions seem to expand during the war, as grandparents took on enhanced roles to ensure stability, safety, and resilience for their grandchildren.

Conclusion

Grandparents' roles extended beyond traditional boundaries, emphasizing their centrality in family resilience during collective trauma.

Implications

The findings highlight grandparents' adaptability and resilience during collective traumatic events. Integrating grandparents into family and community support systems can enhance familial resilience in times of crisis.

本研究旨在探讨在10月7日以色列恐怖袭击和随后的战争之后，以色列犹太祖父母对祖父母养育子女的经历和意义。创伤性事件会破坏代际关系，但祖父母通常在提供情感和实际支持方面起着至关重要的作用。尽管如此，人们对祖父母在集体创伤中如何适应自己的角色知之甚少。方法在恐怖袭击发生后2 ~ 4周，对21名以色列犹太祖父母（40 ~ 73岁）至10岁的孙子孙女进行半结构化访谈。进行了专题分析。结果发现了四个主题，反映了祖父母对其角色的看法：认知承诺及其成本；情感投入;修复和连续性的象征维度；积极的行为参与。这些维度被发现符合祖父母多维体验模型的认知、情感、象征和行为维度。在战争期间，祖父母的维度似乎扩大了，因为祖父母在确保孙辈的稳定、安全和适应力方面扮演了更重要的角色。结论祖父母的角色超越了传统的界限，强调了他们在集体创伤中家庭恢复力的中心地位。研究结果强调了祖父母在集体创伤事件中的适应性和弹性。将祖父母纳入家庭和社区支持系统可以增强家庭在危机时期的复原力。

Objective

This study explored combined patterns of parental and spousal functioning (parental bonding and couple's coping) from the perspectives of couples raising children with atypical or typical development.

Background

Raising children with atypical development can have a profound impact on the family system, and these families' experiences can differ significantly from those of families with typically developing children.

Method

We used data from 243 Hungarian parental couples raising children with atypical (n = 102) or typical (n = 141) development and explored patterns of combined spousal (including positive dyadic coping and negative dyadic coping) and parental functioning (including parental care and parental overprotection).

Results

The latent profile analysis revealed four types of parental bonding and couple's coping: “resilient couples,” “vulnerable couples,” “ambivalent moms, super dads,” and “good enough moms, ambivalent dads.” These distinct types of parental and spousal functioning differed significantly in parental stress levels, relationship satisfaction, life satisfaction, and perceptions of their children's behavioral and psychological problems.

Conclusion

The joint contributions of spousal functioning and parental functioning can form meaningful configurations in the common micro-worlds of couples.

Implications

Professionals working with children and families could benefit from assessing spousal coping in addition to parental bonding, as it may help them better understand the parenting dynamics. Mutual systemic support between parents can contribute to more adaptive spousal and parental functioning and, thereby, their children's health and well-being.

目的从典型与非典型子女的抚养角度探讨父母与配偶功能（父母结合与夫妻应对）的结合模式。抚养非典型发育儿童会对家庭系统产生深远的影响，这些家庭的经历可能与那些有典型发育儿童的家庭有很大的不同。方法采用243对抚养非典型（n = 102）或典型（n = 141）儿童的匈牙利父母夫妇的资料，探讨配偶联合模式（包括积极的二元应对和消极的二元应对）和父母功能（包括父母照顾和父母过度保护）。结果潜在特征分析揭示了四种类型的父母关系和夫妻应对：“弹性夫妻”、“脆弱夫妻”、“矛盾妈妈，超级爸爸”和“足够好的妈妈，矛盾爸爸”。这些不同类型的父母和配偶功能在父母压力水平、关系满意度、生活满意度和对子女行为和心理问题的看法上存在显著差异。结论配偶功能和父母功能的共同贡献可以在夫妻共同的微观世界中形成有意义的配置。与孩子和家庭打交道的专业人员可以从评估配偶应对以及父母关系中受益，因为这可以帮助他们更好地理解父母的动态。父母之间的相互系统支持有助于提高配偶和父母功能的适应性，从而促进子女的健康和福祉。

Objective

This study explored the disparities in parenting roles between fathers and mothers in Korea, specifically focusing on how men rationalize their limited participation in child-rearing and how women accept these uneven parenting circumstances.

Background

Despite the increasing awareness of the need for more paternal involvement, deeply rooted gender roles still shape parenting dynamics.

Method

In-depth interviews were conducted with 12 couples raising children under the age of 6 years. A qualitative approach using thematic analysis and synthesis was employed to identify the key patterns in paternal involvement and maternal expectations.

Results

Fathers justified their limited involvement by citing work obligations or positioning themselves as secondary caregivers. Though some fathers expressed willingness to change these patterns for gender equality and contribute more time to parenting activities, their actions remained constrained by occupational demands and traditional gender expectations. However, mothers expressed a sense of resignation while recognizing that their partners' contributions often did not meet their expectations. Many mothers accepted this reality by internalizing it as a norm, often lowering their expectations, prioritizing men's economic contributions, and assuming greater responsibility for child care.

Conclusion

These findings highlight the ongoing challenges in achieving gender equality in parenting practices. Addressing historically entrenched gender roles is crucial to promoting more equitable parenting practices and reducing the burden placed disproportionately on mothers.

Implications

This study suggests that a deeper societal intervention is necessary to challenge the underlying gender norms and power structures that lead to unbalanced caregiving responsibilities between parents.

本研究探讨了韩国父亲和母亲在育儿角色上的差异，特别关注男性如何合理化他们在育儿方面的有限参与，以及女性如何接受这些不平衡的育儿环境。尽管越来越多的人认识到需要更多的父亲参与，根深蒂固的性别角色仍然影响着养育的动态。方法对12对育有6岁以下子女的夫妻进行深度访谈。采用专题分析和综合的定性方法来确定父亲参与和母亲期望的关键模式。结果父亲们以工作义务或将自己定位为次要照顾者来为他们有限的参与辩护。虽然一些父亲表示愿意为两性平等而改变这些模式，并为养育子女贡献更多时间，但他们的行动仍然受到职业需求和传统性别期望的限制。然而，母亲们在意识到伴侣的贡献往往达不到她们的期望时，表达了一种无奈之情。许多母亲接受了这一现实，将其内化为一种规范，往往降低了她们的期望，优先考虑男性的经济贡献，并承担起照顾孩子的更大责任。这些发现突出了在育儿实践中实现性别平等的持续挑战。解决历史上根深蒂固的性别角色问题，对于促进更公平的养育做法和减轻母亲过重的负担至关重要。本研究表明，有必要进行更深层次的社会干预，以挑战导致父母之间照顾责任不平衡的潜在性别规范和权力结构。

Objective

This study aimed to examine the associations among parenting stress, coparenting relationships, and depression in mothers and grandmothers and how these associations differ between families with maternal grandmothers and paternal grandmothers.

Background

Studies have indicated a correlation between parenting stress experienced by grandmothers and mothers and levels of depression for both parties in intergenerational coparenting families. However, the underlying mechanism responsible for this association remains unclear.

Method

Participants were mothers and grandmothers from 445 Chinese coparenting families sampled in urban China. A cross-level dyadic model that integrated the common fate model and the actor–partner interdependence model was conducted to test the hypothesized paths. Multigroup analysis was used to examine the differences between the maternal and paternal grandmother groups.

Results

Our findings indicated that parenting stress experienced by mother and grandmother had direct actor effects on their depression, and coparenting closeness mediated the grandmothers' parenting stress and depression. The grandmothers' parenting stress had indirect partner effects on the mothers' depression through coparenting closeness and exposure to conflict. The relationship between coparenting relationships and parenting stress and depression showed a stronger connection in maternal grandmother coparenting families compared to paternal grandmother coparenting families.

Conclusion

Dyad-level coparenting relationships mediate the link between individual-level parenting stress and depression in mothers and grandmothers, with distinct patterns observed in paternal and maternal grandmother coparenting families.

Implications

This study supplements the proposed grandmother role difference hypothesis and highlights appropriate methodologies for examining dyadic data.

目的本研究旨在探讨母亲和祖母的养育压力、父母关系和抑郁之间的关联，以及这些关联在有外祖母和有祖父祖母的家庭之间的差异。研究表明，在代际共同养育家庭中，祖母和母亲所经历的养育压力与双方的抑郁水平之间存在相关性。然而，导致这种关联的潜在机制尚不清楚。方法研究对象为来自中国城市445个双亲家庭的母亲和祖母。结合共同命运模型和参与者-伙伴相互依赖模型，建立了一个跨层次二元模型来检验假设路径。采用多组分析检验外祖母组与外祖母组之间的差异。结果母亲和祖母所经历的养育压力对祖母的抑郁有直接的行为人的影响，父母亲缘关系在祖母的养育压力和抑郁之间起中介作用。祖母的养育压力通过父母的亲密关系和冲突暴露对母亲的抑郁有间接的伴侣效应。父母关系与父母压力和抑郁之间的关系在外祖母家庭中比在父亲祖母家庭中更强。结论双亲水平的养育关系在母亲和祖母个体水平的养育压力与抑郁之间起中介作用，在父亲和外祖母的养育家庭中观察到不同的模式。本研究补充了祖母角色差异假说，并强调了检查二元数据的适当方法。

Family Relations

Pub Date : 2025-08-19 DOI: 10.1111/fare.70031

Objective

The focus of this research was to examine the impact of Love Notes in a variety of settings among youth with elevated risk and compare an adaptation of Love Notes that compressed 13 lessons into a nine-lesson format.

Background

Previous research on an older version of Love Notes found evidence of its impact on sexual behavior, but an updated version needs to be tested in applied settings, with nonsexual relationship factors, looking at both formats.

Method

Data were gathered from youth at mental health facilities, alternative high schools, and from select groupings within traditional high schools. Youth were nonrandomly assigned to a 13-lesson format, a nine-lesson format, or a control group. Linear mixed-effect models estimated within-person trajectory changes. Follow-up data were analyzed using latent growth curves.

Results

Loves Notes changed targeted outcomes, relative to the control group, without a functional difference between the nine- versus 13-lesson formats. For the secondary outcomes the 13-lesson format displayed slightly better results than the nine-lesson format. Gains made in the primary outcomes were maintained over the 3-month follow-up.

Conclusion

Overall, Love Notes shows preliminary evidence of improving outcomes for youth in at-risk contexts.

Implications

Love Notes may be a reasonable choice for FLE programming if the goal of the intervention is to change the perceptions of youth regarding relationships. An adaptation to shorten the presentation while retaining content still offers significant primary and secondary benefits to participants.

本研究的重点是研究《爱的笔记》在不同环境下对高风险青少年的影响，并比较《爱的笔记》将13节课压缩成9节课的改编版本。之前对旧版爱情笔记的研究发现了它对性行为影响的证据，但更新的版本需要在应用环境中进行测试，包括非性关系因素，研究两种格式。方法从精神卫生机构、另类高中和传统高中的青少年中收集数据。青少年被随机分配到13节课的形式，9节课的形式，或对照组。线性混合效应模型估计了人体内的轨迹变化。随访资料采用潜在生长曲线分析。结果：与对照组相比，“爱笔记”改变了目标结果，9节课和13节课的教学形式没有功能差异。在次要结果方面，13节课的教学模式比9节课的教学模式显示出稍好的结果。在3个月的随访中，主要结果的改善得以保持。总体而言，《爱的笔记》显示了改善高危青少年结局的初步证据。如果干预的目标是改变青少年对人际关系的看法，那么爱情笔记可能是一个合理的选择。在保留内容的同时缩短演示的调整仍然为参与者提供了重要的主要和次要的好处。

Work–family conflict intensifies after becoming a parent, but does it hinder second-birth intentions in Finland? 工作与家庭的冲突在为人父母后加剧，但这是否会阻碍芬兰的二胎计划？

Pub Date : 2025-08-07 DOI: 10.1111/fare.70014

Sanna Moilanen, Eija Räikkönen, Kaisa Malinen, Anna Rönkä

Objective

The goal was to examine how work–family conflict trajectories, namely changes in time- and strain-based work-to-family (WFC) and family-to-work conflict (FWC) across the transition to parenthood, are associated with parents' second-birth intentions and whether these trajectories or associations differ according to the parent's gender.

Background

No research exists on how work–family conflict trajectories during the transition to parenthood are associated with subsequent childbearing intentions.

Method

We used longitudinal survey data from Finnish employed first-time parents (N = 269) in two waves (2020–2022), during pregnancy (Time 1) and 18 months postpartum (Time 2).

Results

The results showed an increase in time-based WFC and FWC, and strain-based FWC during the transition to parenthood across genders. Moreover, strain-based WFC decreased for mothers but did not change among fathers. A steeper increase in strain-based FWC during the transition was associated with more positive second-birth intentions among mothers, but among fathers, the work–family conflict trajectories were not associated with these intentions.

Conclusion

The findings highlight that work–family conflict predominantly intensifies after becoming a parent across genders, but the intensification does not appear to discourage subsequent childbearing intentions for Finnish parents.

Implications

Support measures buffering first-time parents' work–family conflicts should be manifested in work and family domains to facilitate the well-being of families.

目的研究工作-家庭冲突轨迹，即工作-家庭冲突（WFC）和家庭-工作冲突（FWC）在父母转变为父母期间的时间和压力变化，如何与父母的二胎意愿相关，以及这些轨迹或关联是否因父母的性别而不同。背景：目前还没有研究表明，在过渡到为人父母的过程中，工作-家庭冲突轨迹与随后的生育意愿之间存在着怎样的关联。方法采用两波（2020-2022）、妊娠期（时间1）和产后18个月（时间2）的芬兰首次就业父母（N = 269）的纵向调查数据。结果结果显示，在性别向为人父母过渡期间，基于时间的WFC和FWC增加，基于应变的FWC增加。此外，基于菌株的WFC在母亲中下降，但在父亲中没有变化。在过渡期间，基于压力的FWC的急剧增加与母亲更积极的第二胎意愿有关，但在父亲中，工作-家庭冲突轨迹与这些意愿无关。研究结果强调，无论男女，工作与家庭的冲突在为人父母后都明显加剧，但这种加剧似乎并没有阻碍芬兰父母随后的生育意愿。启示缓解首次父母工作家庭冲突的支持措施应体现在工作和家庭领域，以促进家庭的幸福。

Objective

The purpose of this study was to identify latent topics in social big data related to bi-hon, a Korean neologism referring to the civil status of unmarried individuals.

Background

Social big data can effectively capture complex and fast-changing public discourse on the recent bi-hon trend in South Korea and reveal the divergence in traditional marital formation and families.

Method

We analyzed 65,205 Korean online posts that mentioned bi-hon and were posted on one of three online channels (news websites, Twitter, and online communities) from July 2016 to June 2019.

Results

Employing a topic modeling technique, we identified and labeled 20 latent topics that best represented the data collected from each online channel. Next, we categorized these topics into six overarching themes: (a) the changing landscape of marital formation in South Korea; (b) bi-hon: a choice, declaration, and lifestyles; (c) gender inequality and feminism movements; (d) childcare burden in a country with the lowest fertility rate; (e) conflict with the Confucian tradition of Korean families; and (f) economic barriers to marriage.

Conclusion

Our study contributes to the growing scholarship on changes in marital formation and families around the globe by providing a comprehensive picture of bi-hon and leveraging innovative social big data research.

Implications

This study calls for diverse policy support for the increasing single population and guides family researchers for future social big data studies.

目的本研究的目的是识别与bi-hon（韩语新词，指未婚个体的公民身份）相关的社会大数据中的潜在话题。社会大数据可以有效地捕捉到韩国近期双婚趋势的复杂和快速变化的公众话语，揭示传统婚姻形态和家庭的分歧。我们分析了2016年7月至2019年6月期间，在三个在线渠道（新闻网站、Twitter和在线社区）之一上发布的65205篇提到bi-hon的韩国在线帖子。采用主题建模技术，我们确定并标记了20个潜在主题，这些主题最能代表从每个在线渠道收集的数据。接下来，我们将这些主题分为六个总体主题：(a)韩国婚姻形成的变化；(b)双hon：一种选择、宣言和生活方式；(c)性别不平等和女权运动；(d)生育率最低国家的儿童保育负担；(e)与朝鲜家庭的儒家传统相冲突；（六）婚姻的经济障碍。我们的研究为全球范围内关于婚姻形成和家庭变化的学术研究做出了贡献，提供了一幅全面的婚姻图景，并利用了创新的社会大数据研究。本研究呼吁对日益增长的单身人口提供多样化的政策支持，并为未来的社会大数据研究提供指导。
