Objective

This proof-of-concept study presents findings from the Illinois Strong Couples project, a statewide initiative to disseminate an efficacious couple relationship education (CRE) program through a state Cooperative Extension System.

Background

Among family scholars, federally funded initiatives to disseminate CRE programming to couples have received strong support as well as equally strong opposition. The current study describes and evaluates a new dissemination approach designed to satisfy concerns from both sides of this debate.

Method

The sample comprised 340 individuals (170 couples) who participated in the online ePREP program with remote coaching and completed three survey assessments over 6 months.

Results

Significant short- and long-term improvements were observed in multiple dimensions of relationship functioning (e.g., declines in communication conflict, relationship instability concerns) and individual functioning (e.g., declines in psychological distress, sleep problems). Effect sizes, in general, were medium for relationship outcomes and small for individual outcomes. Greater attendance forecasted greater gains in relationship outcomes, particularly for men. Changes over time were generally similar irrespective of household income and, when evident, indicated greater improvement for lower-income women compared to higher income.

Conclusion

Findings highlight the ability to disseminate effectively an evidence-based CRE program within a state Extension system.

Implications

This project illustrates a sustainable and potentially scalable strategy to disseminate CRE programming that can complement other approaches for CRE dissemination as a means to promote relationship and individual well-being among help-seeking couples.

目的 本概念验证研究介绍了伊利诺伊州 "强力夫妇 "项目的研究结果,该项目是一项全州范围的计划,旨在通过州合作推广系统推广一项有效的夫妇关系教育(CRE)计划。 背景 在家庭学者中,由联邦政府资助的向夫妇传播 CRE 计划的倡议得到了大力支持,同时也遭到了同样强烈的反对。本研究描述并评估了一种新的传播方法,旨在满足这场争论中双方的关切。 方法 样本包括 340 人(170 对夫妇),他们参加了在线 ePREP 计划和远程辅导,并在 6 个月内完成了三次调查评估。 结果 在关系功能的多个方面(如减少沟通冲突、担心关系不稳定)和个人功能(如减少心理困扰、睡眠问题)都观察到了显著的短期和长期改善。一般来说,对人际关系结果的影响大小为中等,对个人结果的影响大小为小。参加人数越多,人际关系方面的影响就越大,尤其是男性。随着时间的推移,无论家庭收入如何,变化总体上是相似的,如果变化明显,则表明低收入妇女与高收入妇女相比会有更大的改善。 结论 研究结果凸显了在州推广系统内有效传播以证据为基础的 CRE 计划的能力。 意义 本项目展示了一种可持续的、潜在的、可扩展的 CRE 计划传播策略,它可以补充其他传播 CRE 的方法,作为促进寻求帮助的夫妇之间的关系和个人幸福的一种手段。

Objective

This study evaluated family leisure as a moderator of negative associations between family of origin adversity and subsequent marital relationship satisfaction.

Background

Negative experiences during childhood often affect marital outcomes. However, the vulnerability-stress-adaptation model of marriage suggests couples can adapt in healthy ways to manage vulnerabilities. Family leisure is often used to address stress. Family leisure remains a strong predictor of relationship well-being due to its ability to strengthen emotion regulation and build psychological resources, motivating an evaluation of family leisure as a potential ameliorating factor for links between family of origin adversity and marital relationship satisfaction.

Method

The study used a national dyadic sample of heterosexual married couples from the Couple Relationships and Transition Experiences (CREATE) study in the United States in 2021 (N = 1,462 couples). This study estimated an actor–partner interdependence model with dyadic connections and individual controls to evaluate family leisure in the context of married couples with past family of origin adversity.

Results

Family leisure positively associated with marital satisfaction directly but did not moderate family of origin adversity.

Conclusion

The study confirmed negative links between family of origin adversity and marital relationship satisfaction. Although the study also confirmed positive links between family leisure and relationship satisfaction, family leisure was not helpful as a buffer for family of origin adversity.

Implications

Findings suggest couples with family of origin adversity should not use family leisure as a primary means of addressing stress from family of origin experiences to help with marriages and may have more success with other strategies.

目的 本研究评估了家庭休闲对原生家庭逆境与后续婚姻关系满意度之间负相关的调节作用。 背景 童年时期的负面经历往往会影响婚姻结果。然而,婚姻的脆弱性--压力--适应模式表明,夫妻双方可以通过健康的方式进行适应,以管理脆弱性。家庭休闲通常被用来应对压力。由于家庭休闲能够加强情绪调节和建立心理资源,因此家庭休闲仍然是预测夫妻关系幸福的一个强有力的指标,这促使我们对家庭休闲作为原生家庭逆境与婚姻关系满意度之间联系的潜在改善因素进行评估。 研究方法 该研究使用了 2021 年美国 "夫妻关系和过渡经历"(CREATE)研究中的全国异性已婚夫妻的双向样本(N = 1,462 对夫妻)。本研究估算了一个演员-伴侣相互依存模型,该模型包含了两人间的联系和个人控制,以评估过去原生家庭不幸的已婚夫妇的家庭休闲情况。 结果 家庭休闲与婚姻满意度直接呈正相关,但并不影响原生家庭的逆境。 结论 该研究证实了原生家庭逆境与婚姻关系满意度之间的负相关。虽然研究也证实了家庭休闲与婚姻关系满意度之间的正相关,但家庭休闲并不能帮助缓冲原生家庭逆境。 启示 研究结果表明,有原生家庭逆境的夫妇不应该把家庭休闲作为解决原生家庭经历压力的主要手段来帮助婚姻,采用其他策略可能会取得更大的成功。

Motor behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorder with a neurotypical sibling 自闭症谱系障碍儿童与神经正常兄弟姐妹的运动行为
IF 1.7 3区 社会学 Q2 FAMILY STUDIES Pub Date : 2024-06-16 DOI: 10.1111/fare.13052
Yuemei Lu, Janet L. Hauck

Background

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can experience issues in motor development and fall short of physical activity (PA) recommendations. Family members, especially parents and siblings, play important roles in influencing their motor behaviors.

Objective

This study investigated motor behaviors (i.e., levels of PA, parent-perceived motor competence, and related family dynamics) in children with ASD during a historical event—the COVID-19 pandemic—during which most service approaches were not being used, and children with ASD were staying at home with their parents and neurotypical (NT) siblings.

Methods

This cross-sectional study recruited 17 ASD–NT–parent triads (51 participants in total). Motor behaviors were all measured by questionnaires and surveys, with levels of PA also measured objectively using ActiGraph GT3X. Descriptive analyses were conducted.

Results

Children with ASD participated in more types of sedentary activities than leisure-time and sports activities. Parents perceived a low level of motor competence in their children with ASD, and compared with siblings, they perceived more interactions and higher self-efficacy in supporting PA in children with ASD.

Conclusion

The findings of this study can be helpful to us as we evolve our understanding and strategies to influence motor behaviors in children with ASD, ultimately to advance our service-delivery model to include family-based approaches.

Implications

This study should inform future ASD studies of the importance of providing quality family-based PA/education programs for children with ASD and boosting parents' and NT siblings' self-efficacy in supporting PA in children with ASD.

患有自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的儿童可能会在运动发育方面遇到问题,并且达不到建议的体力活动(PA)水平。本研究调查了自闭症谱系障碍儿童的运动行为(即体力活动水平、父母感知的运动能力以及相关的家庭动态),当时正值历史事件--COVID-19 大流行,大多数服务方法尚未使用,自闭症谱系障碍儿童都与父母和神经正常(NT)的兄弟姐妹待在家里。所有运动行为均通过问卷和调查进行测量,同时还使用 ActiGraph GT3X 对 PA 水平进行了客观测量。与休闲和体育活动相比,患有 ASD 的儿童参加了更多类型的久坐活动。家长认为 ASD 儿童的运动能力水平较低,与兄弟姐妹相比,他们认为在支持 ASD 儿童参与体育锻炼方面,他们有更多的互动和更高的自我效能感。这项研究的结果将有助于我们加深对影响 ASD 儿童运动行为的理解和策略,最终推进我们的服务提供模式,将基于家庭的方法纳入其中。本研究应为未来的 ASD 研究提供参考,使我们认识到为 ASD 儿童提供高质量的基于家庭的 PA/ 教育计划以及提高父母和 NT 兄弟姐妹支持 ASD 儿童 PA 的自我效能的重要性。

Background

Black girls in the United States are at increased risk for HIV and sexually transmitted infections due to early sexual development, stereotyping, adultification, and lack of protection. The Becoming a Sexual Black Woman framework highlights protection, or lack thereof, as a critical component of Black girls' sexual development.

Objective

The purpose of this study was twofold. First, we sought to understand how girls protect their bodies within the societal context of the COVID-19 pandemic and social injustice. Second, we aimed to explore how Black men can better protect Black girls' sexual development.

Method

We conducted 25 in-depth interviews with Black girls aged 9 to 18 years, primarily across the Midwestern United States. We performed a directed content analysis by reviewing transcripts, coding data, and developing themes.

Results

Findings revealed four themes: (a) feeling unsafe, (b) adultification of Black girls' bodies and increased vulnerability to harm, (c) desire for more protection by Black male caregivers, and (d) needing Black men to speak up.

Conclusion

Black men's engagement in girls' sexual development may significantly influence the health outcomes of Black girls and women throughout their life course.

Implications

Findings may inform future family-based interventions that better protect and promote the sexual health and development of Black girls.

Residual and emergent: Good mother ideals in China and the role of cultural values 残余与新生:中国的好母亲理想与文化价值观的作用
IF 1.7 3区 社会学 Q2 FAMILY STUDIES Pub Date : 2024-06-16 DOI: 10.1111/fare.13058
Yixuan Liu, Yi Xu

Objective

The study aimed to explore how different groups of people perceive good mother ideals in China and the cultural and sociodemographic profiles of these groups.

Background

Good mother ideals have changed over time and become increasingly complex. The prevalence of intensive mothering has been supported mainly by media representation research and dominated by Western-focused studies. How tensions between Confucianism and neoliberalism alter the good mother ideas in contemporary China requires further investigation.

Method

First, we used an open-ended survey to collect good mother attributes. Then, we conducted a latent profile analysis with an online survey (N = 449) to divide people into subgroups according to their latent perception structures. Later, we ran multinominal logistic regressions to explore whether cultural values and sociodemographic variables can predict group membership.

Results

Collected attributes (N = 1,162) were organized into five categories: neutrality (37.87%), femininity (25.39%), motherhood (11.53%), family responsibilities (6.71%), and childcare responsibilities (18.5%). Moreover, we identified three groups holding different motherhood beliefs: Whatever, Average, and Perfectionist. Young people had higher odds to be in the Whatever group and held more flexible good mother ideals, and married women were 6.69 times more likely to be in the Perfectionist group than single men. Our findings also indicated that people in the Perfectionist group scored higher on attitudes toward family and Asian values.

Conclusion

Our research suggested that researchers must distinguish between dominant motherhood representation and lay perceptions of motherhood as well as pay attention to the cultural sensitivity of good mother ideals.

该研究旨在探讨中国不同群体如何看待好母亲的理想,以及这些群体的文化和社会人口状况。密集型母爱的盛行主要得到了媒体表征研究的支持,而以西方为重点的研究则占主导地位。儒家思想与新自由主义之间的紧张关系如何改变当代中国的好母亲观念,需要进一步研究。然后,我们通过在线调查(N = 449)进行了潜在特征分析,根据人们的潜在认知结构将他们划分为不同的子群体。随后,我们进行了多项式逻辑回归,以探讨文化价值观和社会人口变量能否预测群体成员身份。收集到的属性(N = 1,162)被分为五类:中立(37.87%)、女性气质(25.39%)、母性(11.53%)、家庭责任(6.71%)和育儿责任(18.5%)。此外,我们还发现了三个持有不同母性信念的群体:无论如何、平凡和完美主义。年轻人属于 "无所谓 "组的几率更高,他们持有更灵活的好母亲理想,已婚女性属于 "完美主义 "组的几率是单身男性的 6.69 倍。我们的研究表明,研究人员必须区分主流母性表征和普通人的母性观念,并关注好母亲理想的文化敏感性。

Objective

This research delved into the experiences of couples and therapists in online couples therapy with an emphasis on therapeutic boundaries.

Background

Although the popularity of online therapy has surged, limited understanding exists about the meanings and experiences tied to therapeutic boundaries in this context, underscoring the need for its examination to enhance online therapy's effectiveness.

Method

A purposive sample of 51 participants, including 36 individuals (comprising 18 couples who underwent separate interviews), and 15 couple and family therapists were interviewed in four online focus groups. Constructivist grounded theory guided the data analysis to discern therapeutic boundary dimensions.

Results

The analysis identified three dimensions of therapeutic boundaries: (a) boundaries between the therapist and couple, (b) boundaries between the couple and their family, and (c) boundaries between the therapists and their own families.

Conclusion

The study offers insights into the nuanced concept of liminality within therapists' and couples' transition to online couples therapy, particularly emphasizing disruptions in conventional therapeutic paradigms.

Implications

To uphold the integrity and bolster the therapeutic alliance in online couples therapy, there is a compelling need for therapists to transition toward novel means of establishing boundaries, moving away from traditional constructs.

这项研究深入探讨了在线夫妻治疗中夫妻和治疗师的经验,重点是治疗界限。虽然在线治疗的普及率急剧上升,但人们对这种情况下与治疗界限相关的意义和经验的了解却很有限,这突出表明有必要对其进行研究,以提高在线治疗的有效性。这项研究在四个在线焦点小组中对 51 名参与者进行了有目的的抽样调查,其中包括 36 名个人(包括 18 对接受单独访谈的夫妻)以及 15 名夫妻和家庭治疗师。分析确定了治疗界限的三个方面:(a)治疗师与夫妻之间的界限;(b)夫妻与家人之间的界限;(c)治疗师与自己家人之间的界限。这项研究为治疗师和夫妻向在线夫妻治疗过渡过程中的微妙边缘性概念提供了见解,特别强调了对传统治疗范式的颠覆。为了维护在线夫妻治疗的完整性并加强治疗联盟,治疗师亟需向建立界限的新方法过渡,摒弃传统建构。

Objective

In this report, we share results of a qualitative study of the experiences of pregnant incarcerated women (PIW), released women (RW), and home visitors who participated in an Early Head Start Home-Based Option (EHS-HBO) program that was delivered in a jail. We discuss the challenges of researching and supporting PIW's experiences and offer lessons learned.

Background

Carceral environments such as jails present challenges for PIW that can compromise pregnancy outcomes. Research supports the efficacy of targeted interventions, such as EHS-HBO, for other populations (e.g., people who use substances); however, these interventions have not yet reached incarcerated populations.

Method

Through separate focus groups for PIW (n = 6) and home visitors (n = 5), and semistructured interviews with RW (n = 3), study participants shared their experiences as PIW and the carceral context.

Results

Themes, determined inductively through thematic analysis, included (a) emotional pain from postdelivery separation, (b) struggles accessing help, (c) lack of faith in medical care, and (d) social support in and out of jail.

Conclusion

Results from this study elucidate recommendations for home visitors visiting PIW in jail and training jail personnel about maternal health.

Implications

Our study highlights the need to further develop home visiting programs and support for PIW and RW. Opportunities for training of jail and home visiting personnel were identified through the focus groups and interviews conducted. The information shared will help professionals working with PIW learn about remarks, attitudes, challenges, and standards of care impacting PIW and maternal mental health.

在本报告中,我们分享了一项定性研究的结果,该研究针对的是参与在监狱中实施的早期启蒙家庭方案(EHS-HBO)计划的被监禁孕妇(PIW)、刑满释放妇女(RW)和家庭访视者的经历。我们讨论了研究和支持 PIW 的经验所面临的挑战,并提供了经验教训。研究表明,EHS-HBO 等有针对性的干预措施对其他人群(如使用药物的人群)有效、通过分别针对 PIW(n = 6)和家访者(n = 5)的焦点小组以及对 RW(n = 3)的半结构式访谈,研究参与者分享了他们作为 PIW 的经历和监狱环境。通过主题分析归纳出的主题包括:(a)产后分离带来的情感痛苦;(b)获得帮助时的挣扎;(c)对医疗缺乏信心;以及(d)狱中和狱外的社会支持。这项研究的结果阐明了对探访狱中 PIW 的家庭访视者以及对监狱工作人员进行孕产妇健康培训的建议。通过焦点小组和访谈,我们发现了对监狱和家访人员进行培训的机会。我们分享的信息将有助于从事女性罪犯工作的专业人员了解影响女性罪犯和孕产妇心理健康的言论、态度、挑战和护理标准。

Objective

This study provides insight into how cultural beliefs influence parents' causal attributions of maladaptive externalizing and internalizing behaviors in young children.

Background

Understanding how parents from different cultures explain difficult behavior in young children may inform culturally sensitive approaches for early intervention and prevention. To date, work on Malaysian parents' causal attributions of maladaptive behaviors in young children has received little empirical attention.

Method

We employed a semistructured interview method to assess Malaysian mothers' (N = 16) open-ended explanations for maladaptive externalizing and internalizing behavior in their young children, as depicted in hypothetical scenarios. Mothers' responses were coded according to a coding system of parental attributions.

Results

We identified cultural specificity in Malaysian parents' attributions of children's behaviors, with mothers endorsing reasons for children's maladaptive externalizing and internalizing behaviors that were not previously captured by the existing coding system. Mothers' attributions were informed by religious and spiritual beliefs.

Conclusions

Parents' causal attributions for children's maladaptive behaviors are culturally specific and are best captured by open-ended approaches.

Implications

Cultural frames of reference shape parental beliefs, which are crucial to the effective formulation of early intervention and prevention approaches. Caution should be taken in general against universally operationalizing parents' attributions of children's behaviors.

这项研究深入探讨了文化信仰如何影响父母对幼儿不良外化和内化行为的因果归因。了解来自不同文化背景的父母如何解释幼儿的不良行为,可以为早期干预和预防提供文化敏感性方法。迄今为止,有关马来西亚父母对幼儿适应不良行为的因果归因的研究很少受到实证关注。我们采用半结构式访谈法,评估马来西亚母亲(N = 16)在假设情景中对其幼儿适应不良的外化和内化行为做出的开放式解释。我们发现了马来西亚父母对子女行为归因的文化特异性,母亲们对子女适应不良的外化和内化行为的原因的认可,是现有编码系统以前没有捕捉到的。母亲的归因受到宗教和精神信仰的影响。父母对儿童适应不良行为的因果归因具有特定的文化背景,最好采用开放式的方法来捕捉。文化参照框架塑造了父母的信仰,这对有效制定早期干预和预防方法至关重要。一般来说,应谨慎对待普遍操作父母对儿童行为的归因。

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the educational resources and needs of mothers of children aged 60 to 72 months and the differences between those of high and low socioeconomic status (SES).

Background

Parents have a crucial impact on their children's development in the preschool years. Mothers are especially challenged by the variety of information sources available and struggle with parenting decisions.

Method

Thirty-three structured interviews with mothers were carried out in one private and one public school, representing high and low SES, respectively.

Findings

Between the two SES groups, both similarities and differences were observed in terms of their educational resources and needs. The following themes emerged in the study: general sources of parenting information, challenges, the first source to consult when problems occur, topics preferred in a parent education program, and the phase of maternity in which they preferred to receive training. The two SES groups were similar in terms of their main challenges, the topics preferred in a parent education program, and the phase of maternity in which they preferred to receive education. Differences were observed in terms of the sources of parenting information, the first source to consult when problems occur, and some of the preferred topics of a parent education program.

Implications

These findings may be useful in revisiting existing parent education programs, or in creating new ones, for the caregivers of preschool children.

本研究旨在调查 60 至 72 个月大儿童的母亲的教育资源和需求,以及高社会经济地位(SES)母亲和低社会经济地位母亲之间的差异。在一所私立学校和一所公立学校,分别对社会经济地位高和社会经济地位低的母亲进行了 33 次结构化访谈,发现这两个社会经济地位群体在教育资源和需求方面既有相似之处,也有不同之处。研究中出现了以下主题:育儿信息的一般来源、面临的挑战、出现问题时首先咨询的来源、家长教育计划中的首选主题以及他们首选接受培训的孕产阶段。两个社会经济地位组别在主要挑战、家长教育计划中的首选主题以及孕产期首选接受教育的阶段方面相似。这些发现可能有助于重新审视现有的家长教育计划,或为学龄前儿童的看护者制定新的计划。

Understanding marital stability through work–family experiences in proximal and distal contexts: Comparing United States and Japan 通过近端和远端背景下的工作-家庭经历了解婚姻稳定性:美国与日本的比较
IF 1.7 3区 社会学 Q2 FAMILY STUDIES Pub Date : 2024-05-20 DOI: 10.1111/fare.13043
Chengfei Jiao, Joseph G. Grzywacz

Objective

Guided by Gottman's framework of marital stability and the ecological theories, the present study aims to understand the relationships between work–family spillover and marital stability within two levels of context—the relational and social cultural contexts.

Background

The relational context of marriage is manifested by spousal relationships—spousal support and strain, which would moderate the relationship between work–family spillover and marital stability. Identified relationships also unfold within sociocultural contexts.

Method

This study uses data from the Midlife in the United States 2 (MIDUS 2) and Midlife in Japan (MIDJA) projects to explore these dynamics. The current study involved 500 Japanese and 1,800 American participants who were married and employed at the time of data collection.

Results

Results from multigroup path models revealed cultural differences. The relational context—spousal support and strain—played moderating roles in the associations between work–family spillover and marital stability in both countries. However, distinct sociocultural patterns emerged as spousal strain showed a stronger association among Japanese participants, whereas spousal support was more prominent among Americans in relation to marital stability.

Conclusion

The results support Gottman's contention that positive and negative features of marriage are related to marital stability directly and indirectly by shaping the impacts of work–family spillover and sociocultural expectations of work and family.

Implications

Practitioners and organizations should recognize the role of spouses in addressing the negative effects of work–family spillover in marriage, as well as incorporating clients' or employees' cultural backgrounds when addressing marital concerns.

在戈特曼的婚姻稳定性框架和生态理论指导下,本研究旨在了解工作-家庭外溢与婚姻稳定性之间在两个层面上的关系--关系背景和社会文化背景--中的关系背景表现为配偶关系--配偶支持和压力,这将缓和工作-家庭外溢与婚姻稳定性之间的关系。本研究利用美国中年2(MIDUS 2)和日本中年(MIDJA)项目的数据来探讨这些动态关系。本研究涉及 500 名日本参与者和 1800 名美国参与者,他们在收集数据时均已婚并有工作。在这两个国家,关系背景--配偶支持和压力--在工作-家庭溢出效应与婚姻稳定性之间的关联中起着调节作用。这些结果支持了戈特曼的观点,即婚姻的积极和消极特征通过影响工作-家庭溢出效应和社会文化对工作和家庭的期望,直接或间接地与婚姻稳定性相关。从业人员和机构应认识到配偶在解决婚姻中工作-家庭外溢的负面影响方面所扮演的角色,并在解决婚姻问题时融入客户或员工的文化背景。
