The broad attendance to such interventions may suggest to the public that having a baby can put the health of any marriage at risk, although large heterogeneity in parents' trajectories of relationship satisfaction has been demonstrated. In this study, we investigated whether four indicators of low transition-to-parenthood readiness in expecting couples-both for the individual (actor) and their partner-predicted a larger decline in relationship satisfaction across this major life transition. Latent class growth analyses estimated heterogeneous relationship satisfaction trajectories for 1,433 couples from 21 weeks gestation to 19 months postpartum. Findings indicated three groups of parents: 38.7% experienced initially high and stable relationship satisfaction, 51.3% initially high with a small decline, and 10.0% initially low with a large decline. For both the pregnant and nonpregnant partner, actor and partner's prenatal doubts about the future of the relationship predicted group membership of the low and large decline subgroup rather than to the two more stable groups. For the nonpregnant partner, lacking a clear wish for a child substantially predicted group membership of the low and large decline subgroup. Nonmarital status or unplanned pregnancy did not predict group membership. These results supported that most new parents experience their relationship as robust against the challenges of early parenthood. However, parents experiencing relationship doubts and childbirth as an unwanted life transition may benefit from targeted pregnancy support.

The present study examined direct and indirect effects of mothers' remembered emotionally responsive parenting in childhood on maternal sensitivity to infant distress via parenting-related emotion, physiology, and cognition. Participants included 299 mothers (Mage = 29.71, SD = 5.48; 47.5% non-Hispanic White) and their infants (48.8% female). Mothers self-reported their emotionally responsive parenting in childhood, and measures of emotional, physiological, and cognitive responses to video clips of crying infants were assessed prenatally. Maternal sensitivity was observed during distress-eliciting tasks when infants were 2 and 6 months old. Covariates included maternal age, education, race, and concurrent observed infant distress. Results from the structural equation model demonstrated women's emotionally responsive parenting in childhood was significantly associated with lower negative emotion in response to infant crying but not with physiological arousal, regulation, or negative cognition about infant crying. Lower negative emotion in response to infant crying was significantly associated with lower negative cognition about infant crying, which was then significantly associated with higher maternal sensitivity to distress. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant serial indirect effect of mothers' emotionally responsive parenting in childhood on maternal sensitivity to distress via negative emotions and negative cognitions about infant crying. The findings suggest that screening pregnant women based on recalled parenting in childhood and targeting how they emotionally and cognitively respond to infant cry cues may be an effective approach to promote positive parenting during early infancy.

Yet, despite rich theorizing, little is known about associations between mother-infant positive affect synchrony and emotion coregulation. This study used the Still Face Paradigm (SFP), which consists of separate initial play, Still Face (SF) stressor, and reunion phases, to assess levels and changes of within-dyad synchrony before and after an experimentally induced relational stressor in a sample of 77 mother-infant (M = 5.6 months; 53% female) dyads. We hypothesized that, on average, dyads would exhibit positive affect synchrony before and after the SF and that within-dyad affect synchrony would increase following the SF. Guided by biobehavioral synchrony and mutual regulation models, we also hypothesized that post-SF increases in synchrony and greater post-SF synchrony would be associated with greater infant negative affect reactivity and recovery. Infant negative affect and infant and maternal positive affect were coded in 3-s epochs for each phase of the Still Face Paradigm. Analyses used residual dynamic structural equation modeling, which disentangled mother- and infant-led synchrony, and multilevel regression. Hypotheses regarding typical within-dyad processes were generally supported: Mother-led positive affect synchrony increased from baseline to the poststressor reunion play, and there was evidence of both infant- and mother-led positive affect synchrony during the reunion. Yet, neither infant negative reactivity nor recovery was associated with changes in positive affect synchrony or post-SF levels of synchrony. Results highlight that synchrony is sensitive to relational stress but challenge traditional assumptions that \"more\" synchrony promotes emotion coregulation.

However, it is unclear whether experiencing specific types or patterns of adversity leads to distinct outcomes. Guided by the Family Stress Model, the objective of this study was to (a) identify unique family risk classes based on exposure to various combinations of poverty-related adversity and (b) examine whether the family risk classes differed in their levels of parental coping strategies, couple relationship quality, parenting practices, and child behavior problems. The sample included 301 mother-father-child triads (602 adults and 301 children) with a combined income ≤ 200% of the federal poverty level from diverse racial backgrounds: 26% White, 20% Black, 15% Hispanic/Latiné, 35% Interracial, and 3% Other. Measures were based on a combination of both mother and father reports and were assessed at multiple timepoints. Using latent class analysis, we identified four unique family risk classes: Low Adversity (low on most poverty-related adversities except job instability; 15%), Mothers At Risk (high mother victimization; 11%), Economic Stress, Depressive Parents (moderate economic distress and parental depressive symptoms; 41%), and Extreme Adversity (high on most adversities; 33%). These risk classes reported numerous differences in longitudinal family outcomes. This study provides critical information about which combinations of risk are most harmful to family health and well-being and can inform the development of preventive interventions tailored to each family's risk exposure patterns.

A direct test of moderation showed that condition significantly moderated the association of relationship quality with change in biological aging, and the pattern was replicated across four indicators of relationship quality.

Eighty-seven mothers of infants completed assessments on sociodemographic characteristics, ACEs, and sleep quality.

An exploratory factor analysis was computed in which ACEs were categorized as dimensions of threat (i.e., experiencing harm or threat of harm) or deprivation (i.e., an absence of cognitive and social inputs). Separate generalized linear models were conducted to examine (a) cumulative ACEs and (b) threat and deprivation dimensions of ACEs in relation to maternal sleep quality scores on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI); higher PSQI scores indicate worse sleep quality. Likelihood ratio tests were conducted to compare if there were significant differences in model fit between the threat and deprivation model versus the cumulative ACEs model. Cumulative ACEs were positively associated with global PSQI scores. Threat, but not deprivation, was positively associated with global PSQI scores. The difference in variance explained between the two models was not statistically significant. The present study highlights the utility of dimensional models of adversity in conjunction with the cumulative ACEs model to identify more nuanced relationships between early adversity and maternal sleep outcomes. This approach may advance research on more targeted interventions during the postpartum period.

We also test how demographic (age, relationship duration, raising young children) and relational (commitment, self-disclosure, conflict) covariates are associated with profile membership. Data came from 2,101 male-female couples (82.7% of males and 95.8% of females were young adults between the ages of 20-39 years) in the German Family Panel (pairfam) study. Results revealed that couples were classified into four distinct profiles. The majority of the sample (86.38%) occupied a profile in which both partners were highly satisfied and the couple had sex frequently (just less than once a week). The second profile was characterized by low relationship satisfaction for both partners and infrequent sex (less than 2-3 times per month; 3.60%). Two profiles had partners with discrepant levels of relationship satisfaction and a moderate sexual frequency (between two and three times per month and weekly): a satisfied female partner and highly dissatisfied male partner profile (4.01% of the sample) and a satisfied male partner and dissatisfied female partner profile (6.01%). The demographic covariates were rarely associated with class membership, but the relational covariate associations were robust. Couples with infrequent conflict and high levels of self-disclosure and commitment from both partners had higher odds of being in the highly satisfied and frequent sex profile compared to all other profiles.

This study focuses on affect anchored to the parenting context (i.e., daily emotional exhaustion, emotional distance from children, and feeling fed up) to assess whether the way parenting affect fluctuates relates to dysfunction: parental burnout severity. We focus on three specific patterns (i.e., affective dynamic indices): inertia (i.e., persistence across days), variation (i.e., magnitude of change), and covariation (i.e., whether affect variables fluctuate together). We reanalyzed multiple data sets (from Belgium and the United States) yielding 180 parents who had rated their parenting affect daily for either 3 or 8 weeks. We computed a regression model with all affective indices as predictors (controlling for mean levels), with parental burnout severity as the outcome variable. Results indicate that inertia of emotional distance predicts parental burnout severity across most sensitivity models (i.e., even with varied operationalizations of affective indices). No other temporal pattern (i.e., variation or covariation) robustly predicted parental burnout severity, although the mean levels of emotional distance and emotional exhaustion did. Results from sensitivity analyses emphasize that operationalization choices for affective indices can yield varying values and impact results.

Multilevel models were used to test whether specific dimensions of parent metaemotion philosophy (i.e., awareness and acceptance of their own negative emotions and awareness, acceptance, and coaching of their child's negative emotions) were associated with the level and trajectory of child psychopathology, with treatment intensity and child age as moderators. The trajectory of children's symptom levels over the course of the year differed depending on parent acceptance of their own and their children's negative emotions; other parent metaemotion philosophy dimensions did not predict child adjustment at the end of the first year. Treatment intensity acted as a moderator between all parent metaemotion philosophy dimensions and internalizing symptoms at the end of the year. Although caregiver awareness, acceptance, and coaching of negative emotions seem to be adaptive for children undergoing less intense treatment, these approaches may be less effective in the face of high-intensity treatment.
