Objective

This longitudinal study examined latent profiles of parent–child interaction and their associations with triadic family interaction.

Background

A child's development is significantly influenced by early family relationships. Family systems theory emphasizes the interrelations between family subsystems, such as parent–child and parent–parent relationships, as well as the family as a whole. However, few studies have examined the relationship between each parent–child dyad and triadic family interaction.

Method

Fathers and mothers were separately videotaped interacting with their child (n = 120) at 4 and 18 months and assessed using the Parent–Child Early Relational Assessment. Triadic family interaction was evaluated at 18 months using the Family Alliance Assessment Scale within a Lausanne Trilogue Play setting.

Results

Four latent profiles of parent–child interaction were identified. Dyadic interaction that was characterized by reciprocity, positive affect, and low negativity was associated with higher family coordination. However, interaction characterized by a lack of reciprocity, negativity, and dyadic tension was related to less coordinated triadic family interaction.

Conclusions

Well-functioning parent–child interaction contributes to higher-quality triadic family interaction. In contrast, challenges in early father–child interaction, including emotional distance, a lack of positive paternal involvement, and limited mutual engagement, are linked to lower-quality triadic family interaction.

Implications

This study highlights the importance of supporting early parent–child relationships to promote well-functioning and coordinated triadic family interaction, and the inclusion of fathers in interventions aiming to improve family dynamics.

这项纵向研究考察了亲子互动的潜在特征及其与三位一体家庭互动的关联。家庭系统理论强调家庭子系统（如亲子关系和亲子关系）以及家庭整体之间的相互关系。在 4 个月和 18 个月时，分别对父亲和母亲与孩子（120 人）的互动进行录像，并使用亲子早期关系评估进行评估。在洛桑三人游戏环境中，使用家庭联盟评估量表（Family Alliance Assessment Scale）对 18 个月大时的三人家庭互动进行评估。以互惠、积极情绪和低消极性为特征的二元互动与较高的家庭协调性相关。然而，以缺乏互惠性、消极性和紧张性为特征的互动与协调性较差的三方家庭互动有关。与此相反，早期父子互动中的挑战，包括情感距离、缺乏积极的父亲参与和有限的相互参与，都与较低质量的三结合家庭互动有关。这项研究强调了支持早期亲子关系以促进功能良好和协调的三结合家庭互动的重要性，以及将父亲纳入旨在改善家庭动态的干预措施中的重要性。

Do more egalitarian men experience less union dissolution? A couple-level analysis 更平等的男性经历的婚姻解体更少吗？夫妻层面的分析

Objective

We consider whether heterosexual unions in which male partners are more gender egalitarian experience less union dissolution.

Background

Gender revolution theory argues that as men become more egalitarian in their attitudes and behaviors, female partners experience reduced work–family conflict, and couples enjoy more stable partnerships. In contrast, the “flip side” perspective argues that consequences of men's increased egalitarian behavior for their own experience of role incompatibility may counterbalance effects on union stability.

Method

Analyzing a sample of roughly 46,600 women-years from the British Household Panel Survey and Understanding Society (1993–2019), we estimate random-intercept and fixed-effects models of union dissolution. Explanatory variables include, for each partner, measures of egalitarianism in gender role attitudes and weekly housework hours.

Results

Odds of union dissolution are not associated with men's absolute level of egalitarian attitudes, but they are higher when men's attitudes are less egalitarian than their partner's. Neither the absolute number of men's housework hours, nor their share of total housework, is associated with the odds of dissolution.

Conclusions

Our findings are not generally supportive of gender revolution theory. Counterbalancing effects may provide an explanation for the findings, as per the flip side approach.

Implications

Taking a couple-level perspective advances understanding of the associations between gender egalitarianism and union dissolution.

性别革命理论认为，随着男性在态度和行为上变得更加平等，女性伴侣会减少工作与家庭的冲突，夫妻关系也会更加稳定。与此相反，"反面 "观点认为，男性平等主义行为的增加对其自身角色不相容的影响可能会抵消对婚姻稳定性的影响。我们分析了英国家庭面板调查和了解社会（1993-2019 年）中约 46,600 个妇女年的样本，估计了婚姻解体的随机截距和固定效应模型。解体几率与男性平等主义态度的绝对水平无关，但当男性的平等主义态度低于其伴侣时，解体几率会更高。无论是男性家务劳动的绝对时数，还是他们在全部家务劳动中所占的比例，都与解体的几率无关。我们的研究结果总体上并不支持性别革命理论，正如 "反面 "研究方法一样，平衡效应可以解释这些研究结果。

Objective

This study qualitatively examined family-building desires of diverse adopted adolescents.

Background

Research on parenting aspirations has rarely included youth with LGBTQ+ parents and/or from adoptive families. Understanding diverse adopted adolescents' feelings about parenthood may yield insights regarding identity and ideas about family.

Methods

We conducted a thematic analysis of interview data from 48 adopted adolescents (27 were LGBTQ+) in the United States, aged 13 to 18, from lesbian, gay, and heterosexual two-parent families.

Results

Most adolescents desired future parenthood, after achieving other normative milestones, and they typically did not feel familial or societal pressure to become parents. LGBTQ+ participants showed a preference for adoption while transracially adopted adolescents preferred biological parenthood.

Conclusion

Guided by developmental approaches about identity and adoption, as well as queer family theory, we found that teenagers adopted by lesbian, gay, and heterosexual couples generally envisioned parenthood for themselves. Plans to do so varied by minoritized gender, sexual, and racial/ethnic identities. Thus, an intersectional perspective is imperative to understand youths' thoughts about family building.

Implications

Our findings reveal insights into adopted adolescents' constructed future identities. Practitioners' understanding of adopted adolescents' development and future planning may be enhanced when adolescents' perspectives are considered.

有关养育子女愿望的研究很少包括父母为 LGBTQ+ 的青少年和/或来自收养家庭的青少年。我们对来自美国的 48 名被收养的青少年（其中 27 人为 LGBTQ+）的访谈数据进行了主题分析，这些青少年年龄在 13 到 18 岁之间，分别来自女同性恋、男同性恋和异性恋双亲家庭。在有关身份和收养的发展方法以及同性恋家庭理论的指导下，我们发现被女同性恋、男同性恋和异性恋夫妇收养的青少年一般都希望自己成为父母。不同的性别、性取向和种族/民族身份，他们的计划也不尽相同。我们的研究结果揭示了被收养青少年构建未来身份的深刻见解。我们的研究结果揭示了被收养青少年构建未来身份的见解，如果考虑到青少年的观点，从业人员对被收养青少年的发展和未来规划的理解可能会有所提高。

Objective

This study examined family dynamics that are common in families experiencing elder family financial exploitation (EFFE) using an innovative analytical protocol, qualitative genogram analysis.

Background

EFFE is a form of elder abuse that affects many older adults and their families. Individual factors associated with EFFE have been examined, but what is missing is a greater focus on the complex family dynamics that contribute to this violation of older family members.

Method

Using qualitative genogram analysis (QGA), a three-step analytical protocol using family systems theory as a foundation, this study identified key relationship patterns commonly found in families where exploitation had occurred. Family genograms generated from 20 interviewees representing 20 families that reportedly experienced EFFE were used to identify common family dynamic themes.

Results

Using QGA, we identified four relational dynamic themes across families: distance and closeness, triangulation, power and dominance, and partner influence.

Conclusion

These themes illustrate that families experiencing EFFE have several similar relational dynamics, which may have contributed to creating contexts that made older family members more vulnerable to financial exploitation.

Implications

The findings of this study provide important indicators for practitioners (e.g., family therapists, family life educators, family attorneys) and policymakers in supporting older family members in making better financial decisions later in life.

本研究采用一种创新的分析方案--定性基因图谱分析法，对遭受老年家庭经济剥削（EFFE）的家庭中常见的家庭动态进行了研究。本研究以家庭系统理论为基础，采用定性基因图谱分析法（QGA）（一种分三步进行的分析方案），确定了发生剥削的家庭中常见的关键关系模式。这些主题说明，经历过 EFFE 的家庭有几种类似的关系动态，这可能是造成老年家庭成员更容易受到经济剥削的原因、本研究的结果为从业人员（如家庭治疗师、家庭生活教育者、家庭律师）和政策制定者提供了重要的指标，帮助老年家庭成员在晚年做出更好的财务决策。

Objective

This study sought to illuminate the barriers service providers experience in delivering healing services to enhance father and child well-being.

Background

Manifestations of structural barriers, such as racism, mother-centric practices, and disproportionate incarceration among Black and Brown fathers prevail. Little is known, however, about how providers describe barriers they encounter toward engaging fathers in services to equip them with the capacity to coparent effectively.

Method

A convenience sample of providers (n = 24) representing a diverse array of child and family service systems responded to questions from a semistructured interview guide. Thematic analyses were conducted to describe how providers engage with fathers and their perceptions of barriers related to their ability to engage them in services.

Results

Findings revealed three types of barriers, each representing a separate theme: micro (biases, colorblindness), societal (devaluation of fathers' role), and systemic (racism, mother-centrism). Strategies to address barriers included implementing strengths-based practices, creating spaces to engage in reflexivity, and investing in father-centric programming. Most strategies involved modifying the micro context, conveying that future efforts should focus on developing procedures and policies that will enhance micro practices.

Conclusion

This study captured the experiences of change agents and healers working with fathers and families. Their experiences illuminate obstacles they must contend with at the micro, societal, and systemic levels of practice.

Implications

Providers indicated that fathers will not benefit from services unless organizations embrace father-centric, strength-based healing practices and allocate space to engage in reflexivity about biases and the impact of systemic racism.

本研究旨在揭示服务提供者在提供治疗服务以提高父亲和儿童福祉时遇到的障碍。背景普遍存在结构性障碍，如种族主义、以母亲为中心的做法，以及黑人和棕色人种父亲被监禁的比例过高。然而，对于服务提供者如何描述他们在让父亲参与服务，使他们具备有效地共同养育子女的能力时所遇到的障碍，却知之甚少。方法方便抽样调查了代表不同儿童和家庭服务系统的服务提供者（n = 24），他们回答了半结构化访谈指南中的问题。我们进行了主题分析，以描述服务提供者如何与父亲接触，以及他们对与父亲参与服务的能力有关的障碍的看法。结果研究结果显示了三种类型的障碍，每种障碍代表一个单独的主题：微观（偏见、肤色盲）、社会（贬低父亲的角色）和系统（种族主义、母亲中心主义）。解决障碍的策略包括实施基于优势的实践、创造参与反思的空间以及投资于以父亲为中心的计划。大多数策略都涉及到微观环境的改变，这表明未来的工作重点应该是制定能够加强微观实践的程序和政策。结论本研究记录了为父亲和家庭服务的变革推动者和治疗者的经验。他们的经历揭示了他们在微观、社会和系统层面的实践中必须面对的障碍。启示提供者指出，除非组织接受以父亲为中心、以力量为基础的治疗实践，并分配空间对偏见和系统性种族主义的影响进行反思，否则父亲们将无法从服务中受益。

Objective

This qualitative study examined the experiences of young adults raised by single mothers by choice and the way the circumstances of their upbringing have modeled their personal identity and mother–child relationships.

Background

Being conceived through anonymous sperm donation may create uncertainty among children and young adults. However, there is little research on the implications of this situation from the perspective of young adults.

Method

In-depth narrative interviews were conducted with 21 young Israeli adults born to single mothers by choice as a result of anonymous sperm donation.

Results

The findings revealed several themes regarding the relationship with the mother, including her image as influential, exclusive, and deeply invested in the relationship. The interviews highlighted anxiety of abandonment and dependency on the mother, who was presented as both powerful and vulnerable or dependent on her child. Participants expressed mix of appreciation and anger toward their mothers' decision. They often conveyed that their mothers had openly and transparently discussed the circumstances surrounding their birth.

Conclusion

The experience of children of single mothers by choice conceived by sperm donation is complex, including mixed feelings regarding their relationship with their mother and the effects of the father's absence on their life and identity.

Implications

The findings underscore the importance of considering anonymity in sperm donation within policy and bioethical research. Additionally, they carry implications for interventions aimed at supporting single-mother-by-choice families.

这项定性研究探讨了选择由单亲母亲抚养长大的年轻成人的经历，以及他们的成长环境如何塑造了他们的个人身份和母子关系。我们对 21 名匿名捐精单亲母亲所生的以色列年轻成人进行了深入的叙事访谈。访谈结果揭示了与母亲关系的几个主题，包括母亲在这段关系中的影响力、排他性和投入程度。访谈凸显了被遗弃的焦虑和对母亲的依赖，母亲既强大又脆弱，或者说是对孩子的依赖。参与者对母亲的决定既感激又愤怒。这些发现强调了在政策和生物伦理研究中考虑精子捐赠中匿名性的重要性。此外，研究结果还对旨在支持单亲母亲选择家庭的干预措施产生了影响。

Identifying the service and social policy needs, gaps, barriers and enablers for grandparent carers 确定祖父母照护者的服务和社会政策需求、差距、障碍和促进因素

IF 1.7 3区社会学 Q2 FAMILY STUDIES

Objective

The goal of this research was to map and identify service and social policy needs, gaps, barriers, and enablers for Western Australian custodial grandparent carers.

Background

Grandparents are increasingly providing custodial kinship care for their grandchildren, yet there is substantial inconsistency in policy frameworks, systems, and services that offer support to grandfamilies across Australia.

Method

This mixed-methods research project synthesized micro- to macro-level data, including grandparent carer respondents to an online survey, qualitative interviews with stakeholder organization representatives, focus groups with key agency frontline staff, and service, social policy, and legislative mapping.

Findings

Current focused and generic services do not meet the complex needs of many grandparent carers and their families, particularly informal grandparent carers and those with diverse, intersectional needs.

Conclusion

Grandparent carers are an often hidden and marginalized population, with many struggling within a complex policy and service delivery framework that may encompass multiple sectors. There are service, policy, and legislative gaps, particularly for informal grandparent carers and those who may already be experiencing intersectional disadvantage.

Implications

Holistic, culturally competent, individualized, and flexible service and social policy responses need to be developed to support grandfamilies, as well as further funding, support and legislative recognition for informal grandparent carers.

这项研究的目标是为西澳大利亚州监护祖父母照护者绘制并确定服务和社会政策需求、差距、障碍和推动因素。祖父母为孙辈提供监护亲属照护的情况越来越多，但澳大利亚各地为祖父母家庭提供支持的政策框架、系统和服务却很不一致。这个混合方法研究项目综合了从微观到宏观层面的数据，包括祖父母照护者在线调查的受访者、与利益相关组织代表的定性访谈、与主要机构一线员工的焦点小组，以及服务、社会政策和立法图谱。祖父母照护者往往是一个被隐藏和边缘化的群体，许多人在复杂的政策和服务提供框架内挣扎，而这个框架可能包含多个部门。服务、政策和立法方面都存在差距，尤其是对于非正式祖父母照护者和那些可能已经处于交叉弱势地位的人而言。需要制定全面的、符合文化习惯的、个性化的和灵活的服务和社会政策应对措施，以支持祖父母家庭，并为非正式祖父母照护者提供进一步的资金、支持和立法认可。

Objective

The purpose of this study is to describe how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced the lives of families with preschool-age children, both broadly and with respect to familial roles, relationships, and routines.

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic placed a significant caregiving burden on families with young children, but the voices and experiences of these families have not been well documented in the scientific literature. Preschool-age children undergo rapid brain development during the early childhood period, and thus these children may be especially vulnerable to the effects of pandemic-related stress.

Method

We conducted a qualitative descriptive study with caregivers of preschool-age children. A semi-structured interview was used to elicit information about the COVID-19 pandemic's influence on family functioning, routines, and relationships. We used inductive thematic analysis to code the data and identify themes and subthemes.

Results

Thirty-five women participated in the study. Women described both positive and negative influences of the pandemic on family life. Themes included: 1) disrupted routines and the parent juggling act, 2) rattled relationships and close connections, 3) the pile-up of pandemic related stressors, and 4) coping strategies and “coming out on the other side.”

Conclusions & Implications

A deeper understanding of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on family life provides critical insight necessary to inform targeted intervention efforts and improve long-term outcomes for families with young children.

本研究的目的是描述 COVID-19 大流行对有学龄前儿童的家庭的生活产生了哪些广泛的影响，以及在家庭角色、关系和常规生活方面产生了哪些影响。COVID-19 大流行给有幼儿的家庭带来了沉重的照顾负担，但科学文献中并没有很好地记录这些家庭的声音和经历。学龄前儿童在幼儿时期大脑发育迅速，因此这些儿童可能特别容易受到大流行相关压力的影响。我们对学龄前儿童的看护者进行了定性描述性研究，采用半结构化访谈的方式，了解 COVID-19 大流行对家庭功能、常规生活和人际关系的影响。我们采用归纳式主题分析法对数据进行编码，并确定主题和次主题。妇女们描述了大流行病对家庭生活的积极和消极影响。主题包括更深入地了解 COVID-19 大流行对家庭生活的影响可为有针对性的干预工作提供必要的洞察力，并改善有幼儿家庭的长期结果。

Objective

The current study asked U.S.-based participants to describe how the pandemic had changed their relationship with their intimate partner during the initial lockdown in March–May 2020, and then again in February–March 2021.

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a major stressor for couples and families.

Method

The study includes 592 partnered individuals drawn from a larger study evaluating the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on life at home. Participants were 84.5% women, and 89.8% were White. Responses were coded by a four-person team using a pragmatic coding approach with good reliability.

Results

Codes were grouped together into five categories: stated emotion words, positive changes, negative changes, changes described with mixed emotional descriptors by different participants, and changes in parenting (that did not always have a specific valence). At Time 1, 52% of respondents noted positive changes and 60% of respondents described negative changes. At Time 3, 68% indicated positive changes and 65% indicated negative changes.

Conclusion

Findings suggest great variability in experiences that couples and families have had over the past few years.

Implications

This combination of open-ended inquiry and longitudinal study offers a unique perspective on the effects of the pandemic on family life.

本次研究要求美国的参与者描述在 2020 年 3 月至 5 月的首次封锁期间以及 2021 年 2 月至 3 月的再次封锁期间，大流行如何改变了他们与亲密伴侣的关系。84.5%的参与者为女性，89.8%为白人。回答由一个四人小组进行编码，该小组采用实用编码方法，具有良好的可靠性。编码分为五类：陈述情绪词、积极变化、消极变化、不同参与者用混合情绪描述词描述的变化以及养育子女方面的变化（并不总是具有特定的情感）。在第一阶段，52% 的受访者指出了积极的变化，60% 的受访者描述了消极的变化。研究结果表明，夫妻和家庭在过去几年中的经历存在很大差异。这种开放式调查和纵向研究相结合的方法为了解大流行病对家庭生活的影响提供了一个独特的视角。

Objective

In the present study, the cognitive theory of stress and coping was adopted as a framework and a mediation model was developed to investigate the long-term effect of fathers' involvement in child care and mothers' appraisal of a supportive coparenting partnership (SCP) on postpartum depressed mood (PDM) and parenting self-efficacy (PSE) in Taiwanese new mothers.

Background

Due to the risk of PDM and low PSE, many new mothers struggle with first-time motherhood. It is therefore meaningful to investigate the benefits of potential protective factors that can reduce the risk of PDM and enhance PSE, such as fathers' involvement in child care and mothers' appraisal of an SCP, to improve new mothers' postpartum adjustment.

Method

Using secondary data from the nationwide longitudinal project Kids in Taiwan, we analyzed data provided by 2,020 Taiwanese new mothers at 3 and 6 months after delivery. We conducted structural equation modeling to test our hypothetical mediation model.

Results

Fathers' involvement in child care was significantly positively related to mothers' appraisal of an SCP, which in turn had a significant effect on reducing the risk of PDM and increasing PSE in Taiwanese new mothers both concurrently and 3 months later.

Conclusion

This study highlighted the concurrent and long-term benefits of fathers' involvement in child care for new mothers' postpartum adjustment and the importance of new mothers' appraisal of an SCP as a significant mediator.

Implications

These findings warrant the attention and efforts of family life educators, marriage counselors, and other experts in related fields to promote better parenting experiences for new parents.

本研究以压力和应对的认知理论为框架，建立了一个中介模型，探讨父亲参与育儿和母亲对支持性共同养育伙伴关系（SCP）的评价对台湾新妈妈产后抑郁情绪（PDM）和养育自我效能感（PSE）的长期影响。因此，研究潜在的保护性因素（如父亲参与育儿和母亲对 SCP 的评价）对降低 PDM 风险和提高 PSE 的益处，以改善新妈妈的产后适应，是很有意义的。我们利用全国性纵向项目 "台湾儿童 "的二手数据，分析了 2,020 名台湾新妈妈在产后 3 个月和 6 个月提供的数据。父亲参与育儿与母亲对 SCP 的评价呈显著正相关，而 SCP 对降低台湾新生儿母亲的 PDM 风险和提高 PSE 有显著影响。这些发现值得家庭生活教育工作者、婚姻咨询师和其他相关领域的专家关注和努力，以促进新父母获得更好的育儿经验。
