This study examines whether the quality of the stepfather–child relationship differs among sole physical custody (SPC) and joint physical custody (JPC) families and compares the association between the father–child and the stepfather–child relationship across the two physical custody arrangements.
Background
An increasing number of families opt for JPC after separation or divorce. Because children in JPC families spend more time with their biological father than children in mother SPC families, the question arises whether JPC affects the quality of the stepfather–child relationship.
Method
We investigated 279 SPC and 182 JPC stepfather families with children aged 1 to 14 from the Family Models in Germany study. Ordinary least squares regression models and interaction effects were estimated.
Results
The quality of the stepfather–child relationship was generally high in both SPC and JPC families and did not differ between the two arrangements. The father–child relationship was positively, albeit weakly, associated with the stepfather–child relationship in both arrangements, indicating spillover effects.
Conclusion
JPC does not affect the quality of the stepfather–child relationship.
Implications
This study does not provide any evidence that JPC is an ill-suited physical custody arrangement when considering the quality of relationships in stepfamilies.

The article presents a study on the collective identity of members of the Polish organization “We, the Parents—the association of mothers, fathers, and allies of LGBTQIA individuals.”
Background
The research contributes to the field of social movement studies, specifically focusing on the rights of sexual and gender minorities and parental activism, and is grounded in social constructionism.
Method
Using a qualitative case study with an ethnographic approach, the study employed participatory observation, interviews, document analysis, and autoethnography, analyzed through grounded theory.
Results
Findings highlight the cultural roots of the collective identity (“parent”), its interaction with individual identities, and its complex structure, identifying categories such as “accepting parenthood,” “normal parenthood,” “proxy parenthood,” and “intervening parenthood.”
Conclusions
The concept of “parenthood” both strengthens the collective identity and reveals internal tensions. Members engage with diverse audiences, including the public, the LGBTQ community, and power centers, using strategies like promoting “good parenting,” transforming social norms on sexuality and gender, supporting the LGBTQ community, and influencing public discourse on LGBTQ rights. Their modes of expression include narrative, evaluative, performative, and persuasive approaches.
Implications
The study offers valuable insights for practitioners in education, health care, and family support, especially in areas with adverse sociocultural climates. It demonstrates how parents adapt after their child's coming out, gain empowerment, and form alliances to improve LGBTQ family well-being. The research also inspires policy initiatives and public health strategies addressing the mental well-being and institutional discrimination faced by LGBTQ individuals.

Objective
We reviewed current research on group-based parenting programs for racially and ethnically minoritized parents with preschoolers to provide a synthesis of how these programs are implemented.
Background
Group-based parenting programs are an efficient and cost-effective means of providing education and support to multiple parents simultaneously (Olofsson et al., 2016), yet most have been developed for White families (Schilling et al., 2021). No previous research has presented a synthesis of work exploring the range of parenting programs and characteristics for racially and ethnically minoritized families with preschool-aged children.
Method
We conducted a scoping review guided by the foundations of family life education (FFLE) model (Darling et al., 2020) and using recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute, Arksey and O'Malley's (2005) framework, and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews guidelines. The final synthesis included 15 peer-reviewed empirical studies.
Results
Results highlight commonalities among programs, alignment with the FFLE model, and needs for future research with more diverse populations and specific child age groups.
Conclusion
Group-based parenting programs for racially and ethnically diverse families with preschoolers are effective but limited in number and scope.
Implications
To ensure that parenting programs are effective and tailored to the diverse needs of individuals and their communities, it is important to consider cultural and contextual factors, make necessary adaptations to practices, content, and delivery methods, and involve racially and ethnically minoritized parents in developing, implementing, and evaluating these programs. There should be an expansion of parenting programs offered at public schools.

The objective of the study was to analyze the process of adaptation in parents residing in Poland whose child has revealed their gay/lesbian sexual orientation or gender identity and determine the stages and conditions of this process.
Background
When a young person discloses their gay/lesbian sexual orientation or transgender identity, their parents' reaction has a significant impact on their psychological well-being and on whether their family system can survive.
Method
This study, carried out from July to November 2022, involved conducting 21 interviews with parents residing in Poland whose child (whether a younger child, an adolescent, or an emerging adult) had come out about their gay/lesbian sexual orientation or transgender identity.
Results
Analysis of interviews conducted during the research revealed the main stages of the process of parents' adaptation to their child coming out: initial attribution, coming out, secondary attribution, confrontation, and acceptance. For individual stages, we categorized reactions, which complement the description of an individual trajectory of adaptation.
Conclusion
It is our opinion that for parents experiencing their child's coming out, the concept of their adaptation should be expanded to include a theory of grief and psychological crisis, highlighting the parents' need for cognitive-functional validation of the situation.
Implications
Future research should seek to individualize the adaptation trajectories of parents whose child has come out about their sexual orientation or gender identity and relate these analyses to both mothers' and fathers' parental roles.

Objective
The goal of the current study was to test prospective direct and indirect associations between preschool executive control (EC), parental affective quality and harsh discipline, and adolescent substance use (e-cigarettes, cannabis, and alcohol) while accounting for participants' age, sex, family history of substance use, and family socioeconomic status.
Method
Participants were 313 youth (49% boys; 70.9% European American) and their parents who participated in a longitudinal cohort-sequential study on the development of EC in preschool and its associations with subsequent health outcomes. Substance use initiation and frequency (e-cigarettes, cannabis, and alcohol) were obtained via phone surveys from youth who participated in adolescent assessments. Parental affective quality and harsh discipline were obtained from parental questionnaires in adolescence.
Results
The direct effects from preschool EC on adolescent substance use were statistically nonsignificant for e-cigarettes, cannabis, and alcohol. Mediation analyses revealed a statistically significant indirect effect from preschool EC to adolescent use of e-cigarettes through harsh discipline (b = −0.07 [95% CI = −0.18; −0.01]; β = −0.04). The associations between preschool EC and any of the substance use outcomes in adolescence through parental affective quality were nonsignificant.
Conclusions
This study fills significant gaps in the emerging literature on longitudinal contributions of child characteristics to parenting behaviors, suggesting that early EC deficiencies may elicit more harsh discipline during adolescence, ultimately leading to higher adolescent engagement in e-cigarette use.

This paper examines the way divorced mothers' long-run employment, long-run earnings, and subjective experiences of work–family conflict differ by children's postdivorce living arrangements.
Background
Children's living arrangements are an important—and somewhat overlooked—determinant of mothers' postdivorce economic outcomes. Parenting commitments and resource availability tied to the amount of time children spend in residence can impact mothers' experiences of work–family conflict and consequent employment.
Method
The paper uses linked administrative and survey data for divorced parents in Wisconsin. It applies a mixed-methods approach, first using multivariate regression models to control for baseline characteristics in exploring mothers' labor market outcomes and experiences of work–family conflict, and subsequently performing content analysis on open-ended survey responses to enhance the findings from the quantitative analysis.
Results
Mothers with shared physical custody are 5% more likely to report being employed in the long run, experience 6% less work–family conflict, and show larger increases in long-term earnings than mothers who have sole physical custody of their children. However, the higher long-term earnings of shared placement mothers cannot be attributed to lower work–family conflict.
Conclusion
Shared placement mothers enjoy a labor market advantage in the long term after divorce, but more research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind this relationship.
Implications
Public policy encouraging shared placement can be beneficial for divorced mothers' economic outcomes.

Objective
We estimate the prevalence of suicidal ideation among partnered U.S. adults overall and by sexual identity using a population-representative sample of cohabiting and married adults.
Background
Intimate partner problems and other aspects of intimate relationships are substantial precipitating factors to suicide. Even so, there are currently no family-based interventions targeting suicide risk among adults; this may be because little is known as to how prevalent suicidal ideation and behaviors are in the context of intimate relationships. Sexually diverse adults show higher proportions of suicidal ideation than heterosexual adults.
Method
Weighted logistic regression was used to analyze data from a subsample of the National Couples' Health and Time Study (n = 3,618), a population-representative sample of cohabiting and married adults. Unadjusted and model-adjusted prevalence estimates for suicidal ideation (thoughts and plans) were calculated.
Results
The model adjusted prevalence estimates for suicide thoughts and plans were similar to estimates among general population samples. Bisexual and queer+ respondents had double the odds of reporting suicide thoughts and plans compared with gay, lesbian, and heterosexual respondents.
Conclusions
Cohabiting and married adults showed a similar prevalence of suicidal ideation as the general population. Bisexual and queer+ adults are a growing U.S. population and require unique attention because they confront higher suicide risk compared with not only heterosexual but also gay and lesbian adults.
Implications
Family-based interventions are needed to target suicidal ideations and behaviors among adults, including those who are married or cohabiting. Sexually diverse adults should not be treated as a monolithic group when tailoring interventions for sexually diverse populations.
我们使用具有人口代表性的同居和已婚成年人样本，估算了有伴侣的美国成年人总体自杀意念的流行率，以及不同性别身份的自杀意念的流行率。尽管如此，目前还没有针对成年人自杀风险的家庭干预措施；这可能是因为人们对亲密关系中自杀意念和行为的普遍程度知之甚少。加权逻辑回归用于分析《全国夫妇健康与时间研究》（National Couples' Health and Time Study）子样本（n = 3,618）中的数据，该子样本是具有人口代表性的同居和已婚成年人样本。计算了自杀意念（想法和计划）的未调整流行率估计值和模型调整流行率估计值。与男同性恋、女同性恋和异性恋受访者相比，双性恋和同性恋+受访者报告有自杀念头和计划的几率要高出一倍。双性恋和 "同性恋+"成年人在美国人口中的比例不断增加，需要给予特别关注，因为与异性恋以及男同性恋和女同性恋相比，他们面临的自杀风险更高。在为不同性取向的人群定制干预措施时，不应将不同性取向的成年人视为一个单一的群体。

Objective
The study's aim was to explore and describe adolescent offenders' experiences of their fathers' involvement before and during their own incarceration in a South African context.
Background
Research on father involvement is focused predominantly on adult offenders' experiences of father involvement without emphasis on adolescents' experiences regarding father involvement, including in a South African context.
Methods
A qualitative explorative-descriptive research design was employed. A nonprobability, purposive sampling technique was used, and the sample size was determined through data saturation. The sample included nine male adolescents between the ages of 17 and 19 years from a correctional center in Pretoria, South Africa. Semistructured individual interviews and drawings made by participants were used as the data collection methods and data were analyzed thematically.
Results
Two main themes with subthemes were identified: Experiences of father absence before and/or during incarceration and desires for and suggestions to improve father involvement.
Conclusion
The findings are primarily indicative of the general lack of father involvement and fatherly support experienced by participants.
Implications
The findings highlight the need for adolescent offenders to have access to counseling or therapy and intervention programs suitable for juvenile correctional centers focusing specifically on providing young, incarcerated, male adolescents with paternal role models that can help foster a sense of ethical and moral guidance and provision of different forms of support. Father intervention programs including men's talks, motivational speaking, and psychoeducational programs to advise fathers on how to be more involved in their children's lives are recommended.

The aim was (a) to assess the association between family estrangement and psychological well-being in adulthood, (b) to investigate potential differences in this association by type of relationship (intergenerational vs. siblings), and (c) to assess whether estrangement from multiple family relations (parents and siblings) is associated with cumulative disadvantage.
Background
Family estrangement is a quantitatively relevant phenomenon, whose association with psychological well-being in adulthood has been insufficiently investigated.
Method
Analysis of data from the German Family Panel (pairfam; N = 5,245) involved running ordinary least squares regressions on the association between previous experiences of family estrangement (in Waves 5, 7, 9, and 11) with respondents' (aged 24–48 years) life satisfaction and depressiveness in Wave 11.
Results
Family estrangement was negatively correlated with psychological well-being. The strength of this relationship did not substantially differ by type of relationship (parents vs. siblings). Associations were strongest if estrangement from both parental and sibling ties was reported.
Conclusion
Family estrangement is significantly associated with reduced psychological well-being. This applies to vertical and horizontal ties in the family system. Co-occurrence of estrangement from parents and siblings bears particularly strong negative relationships with psychological well-being.
Implications
Researchers and practitioners should consider spillovers of estrangement processes among family members and be aware of cumulative disadvantages this might bring about.

This study investigates the processes and experiences of intergenerationally tied relocation in which older parents from mainland China join their already migrated children in Hong Kong to provide domestic and childcare support.
Background
Studies on tied migration have mainly focused on couple-based moves within a human capital framework. With the increasing trend of grandparenting migrants, studies have expanded to address intergenerationally tied relocation.
Method
We conducted thematic analysis of in-depth interview data of 34 mainland Chinese respondents, including 15 parent–child pairs and four adult children.
Results
The decision to relocate is influenced by the established history of intergenerational supportive exchange relationships. The initial motivation for tied relocation is to benefit the adult children. Older parents' postrelocation experiences can affect their later decision to leave or remain, with key factors including financial dependence, emotional stress, and difficulty in balancing the duty of care between migrant children and distant family members. In planning for future eldercare, the goal is to meet the needs of both generations. Options include non-coresidential care, reliance on the parents' hometown sibling network, or living in nearby mainland cities closer to Hong Kong.
Conclusion
The study highlights the complex interplay of family relationships and responsibilities in the phenomenon of intergenerationally tied relocation. The findings unveil the dynamic roles and adaptive strategies families utilize to facilitate the transfer of care and support across generations and geographies.
Implications
Policy and services should be developed to assist aging immigrant families in their adaptation and integration, and formulate strategies for meeting future care needs.
