Drawing on a theory‐informed thematic analysis of scholarship from Iran and comparative contexts, the study integrates feminist political economy, feminist legal theory, social exchange theory, gendered bargaining theory, and institutional economics to examine how welfare structures, legal institutions, and bargaining processes shape the operation of mahr. The findings indicate that mahr's protective role is conditional rather than guaranteed. Although deferred mahr may increase the costs of marital dissolution, its practical value depends on enforcement credibility, women's outside options, and broader welfare conditions. Where public social protection and income‐based maintenance are limited, mahr assumes disproportionate importance yet remains structurally constrained. Strengthening post‐divorce alimony and income‐based maintenance, expanding social protection, and improving women's access to employment and credit would reduce reliance on mahr as a substitute for welfare.","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148587172","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}

Within the family environment, men hold a pivotal position, influenced by tradition, economic factors, and family structure, which significantly impacts the socialization of children. This systematic review examines the intersecting social identities and systems of power that shape men's roles in the gendering of children. Five major electronic databases—Scopus, ProQuest, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Web of Science—and the first 10 pages of Google Scholar were searched to identify potential studies relevant to the review. The search was conducted from June to July 2025. Seventeen studies published from 2000 to 2025 were included. Study data were extracted and sorted according to the potential influences of men's intersectionality on children's gender socialization. The review identified intersecting social identities, including ethnicity, socioeconomic status, place of residence, family structure, language, and religion, as determinants of men's socialization practices that influence children's psychological adjustment, behavioral development, and conception of gender. While the review showed recent shifts over the past decade from conventional domineering roles to more emotionally responsive parenting, this shift remained alongside the more traditionally accepted form of authority expected of men. The review revealed a limited understanding of how men's roles varied and were shaped by intersecting identities, emphasizing the need for further research to develop culturally responsive frameworks for gender socialization.","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148499136","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}

This gap may lead to misinterpretations of parent caregivers' well‐being during and beyond the caregiving experience. To advance this field, this conceptual article integrates the stress process model with life course theory to examine how caring for a child with developmental disabilities shapes parents' long‐term outcomes and life trajectories over time, as well as how parent caregivers actively reframe their caregiving practice through constrained agency. The integrated model introduces six key concepts: macro and historical contexts, linked lives, care stressors and timing, outcomes and cumulative effects, feedback loops over time, and mediators and moderators. The proposed Life Course Care Stress Model offers new directions for mixed‐methods and longitudinal research on developmental disability caregiving across the life span.","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148400959","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}

This scoping review maps antecedents, outcomes, moderators, and family‐theory gaps across 25 empirical studies published between 2012 and 2025 and identified through five major databases, Google Scholar, and targeted citation‐based updates. The evidence shows that gray divorce is most consistently associated with marital biography and socioeconomic position, including higher‐order marriages, shorter union duration, lower wealth, non‐homeownership, marital quality, and emerging evidence on employment insecurity and late‐life labor market shocks. Outcomes vary across domains are as follows: Women generally face sharper economic declines; depressive symptoms, psychological distress, and service use often intensify around the divorce transition before receding; and social consequences depend on repartnering, living arrangements, gendered parent‐adult child ties, and family‐system resources. The review advances a family science interpretation of gray divorce as a heterogeneous transition shaped by life course timing, cumulative disadvantage, family stress processes, boundary reorganization, and crisis, chronic strain, and convalescence trajectories. Future work should expand cross‐national evidence, test mechanisms directly, integrate family‐theory models more explicitly, and evaluate policy and practice levers that support older adults and their families across the divorce timeline.","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148385890","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}

Drawing on research about adolescence, digital socialization, and masculinity, we argue that algorithm-driven digital platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram now operate alongside families, peers, and schools as powerful microsystems of gender socialization. We outline how manosphere content becomes appealing and effective through three mechanisms (e.g., affect, homosociality, and algorithms) and trace its presence across ecological systems from proximal influences to broader ideological forces such as patriarchy and neoliberal individualism. We then consider implications for identity development, emotional regulation, family dynamics, and gendered harms experienced by girls and women. Viewing the manosphere as a risky developmental environment, we call for human development and family scholars and practitioners to more fully integrate digital ecosystems into research, prevention, and intervention efforts.</p>","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"18 2","pages":"365-377"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jftr.70065","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148160775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
