We propose this trend can be traced to societal forces that accelerate and suppress development, resulting in developmental anxiety (i.e., worry about meeting adult milestones on time, if ever). Drawing on foundational theories from developmental and family sciences, we introduce <jats:italic>hurries</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>waits</jats:italic> as umbrella terms for these simultaneous and contradictory forces and explain how developmental anxiety may arise from the tension they place on young people. We next identify strengths that both young people and their families can use to navigate hurry–wait tension, and close with an agenda for future research. This updated, systems‐based lens on the transition to adulthood prepares the field to help young people achieve the fulfilling adult life that previous generations looked forward to with greater promise.","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143836654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of those factors. Manuscripts were sought in 12 databases. Of the initial 6467 documents screened by title, abstract, and keywords, 101 were full‐text analyzed. Ultimately, 24 studies were eligible for this study. All steps of the review process were independently conducted by two of the authors. The results show that various family (e.g., family cohesion), individual (e.g., mental health), and environmental (e.g., school interventions) factors moderate the association between parental substance use and adolescent substance use. The findings suggest that the development of individual skills, improvement of family settings, and involvement of adolescents in healthy environments can be protective against substance use for adolescents whose parents are substance users.","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143775543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although theorizing on IPV has historically focused on violence against women, more attention has been paid in recent years to men's IPV victimization and help‐seeking experiences. However, much of this literature is anti‐feminist and does not account for the impact of race and racism on men's experiences. Some researchers go as far as to blame feminism for the barriers that men face when seeking help and ignore the influence of White‐supremacist patriarchal systems on the men under study. The focus of this paper is Black men, as their IPV victimization experiences are rarely empirically accounted for, though they do experience IPV victimization. By applying intersectionality and hegemonic masculinities to this sparse body of literature, we aim to illuminate the conundrums Black men face when victimized and making help‐seeking decisions in the context of patriarchy and White supremacy.","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"214 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143675211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to outlining the relationship instability process model and exploring other contextual considerations, we provide recommendations for scholars and encourage transparency through the provision of an overt definition of the component of instability assessed in future research.","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143589653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, previous studies have shown inconsistencies regarding the relationship between filial piety and life satisfaction. Based on the dual filial piety model, this meta‐analysis aimed to thoroughly assess the relationship between dual filial piety, which includes reciprocal filial piety (RFP) and authoritative filial piety (AFP), and life satisfaction. Through a systematic literature search, a total of 21 studies with 11,775 participants and 40 effect sizes were identified. Our results indicated a significant positive association between both RFP and AFP and life satisfaction. In addition, several moderating factors, including age, year of publication, and geographic region, were found to influence these relationships. These insights are particularly relevant for family scientists, researchers, and professionals, providing evidence‐based guidance for enhancing interventions focused on familial relationships and individual well‐being across diverse cultural contexts.","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143528366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
