This study included a sample of 150 parents (Mage = 43.4, SDage = 6.9) from two-parent families, who completed a 21-day daily diary protocol. Multilevel model results revealed within-person relations linking daily variation in parents' mood and coparenting support with positive behavior support. On days when parents' positive mood was higher (or negative mood was lower) than usual and when coparenting support was higher than usual, parents used more positive behavior support with their adolescents. When all parental moods were considered simultaneously, daily positive moods remained significant. In addition, daily variation in coparenting support moderated the relation between parents' daily anxious mood and their positive behavior support (but not for daily angry, depressed, or positive moods). In this interaction, the daily anxious mood was only associated with positive behavior support if coparenting support was also high; positive behavior support was consistently low in the context of low coparenting support. These findings have implications for understanding daily parenting processes and interventions aimed at supporting parent's positive behavior support.

The protective role of adolescent executive function (shifting task performance and working memory), which has been widely linked to adolescent marijuana use in prior research, was tested as a key resilience factor supporting behavioral regulation and adaptive coping in negative family environments. The results revealed the long-term detrimental influence of early adolescents' family income on the likelihood of using marijuana in late adolescence through family economic pressure, maternal internalizing symptoms, maternal hostility toward partner, and maternal hostility toward adolescent. The downstream link is buffered by adolescents' longer reaction times in shifting tasks and longer digit span by attenuating the influence of maternal hostility toward adolescent on the likelihood of adolescent marijuana use. Revealing the mechanism and identifying resilience factors for the association between family economic hardship and adolescent's marijuana use in Mexican-origin families shed light on the targets of interventions to help adolescents thrive and overcome economic disadvantage in Mexican-origin communities.

Evidence of the intergenerational transmission of parent-child relationships is well-documented in the literature, but few studies have explored the intergenerational paths between grandparents' and parents' (first and second generations, G1-G2, respectively) communication, parents' depression and sense of efficacy, and children's (third generation, G3) psychological difficulties. Drawing on participants from Fast Track, a multisite longitudinal study, the present analyses included data from 360 original children, now parents (54% fathers, mean age = 34), who completed measures about their own depression and self-efficacy as well as their children's psychological and behavioral difficulties; during childhood (mean age = 10) these same parents had reported on communication with their G1 parents. Running mediation path analyses, we discovered that G1G2 communication was significantly related to G2's depression and emotional and parental self-efficacy. No direct associations between G1G2 communication and G3's psychological difficulties were found, nor did G2's emotional and parental self-efficacy mediate this path across generations. Nevertheless, G2's emotional and parental self-efficacy were significantly associated with G3's psychological difficulties, showing evidence of two generations and not three generations effects. By focusing on three generations, the present study extends knowledge about the critical role of G1 and G2 relationship quality and parenting on the next generation's psychological development and well-being.

Given the high prevalence of mental health and substance use disparities among sexual minority adults, more research is needed on how these factors might influence them and not just in committed relationships, but early romantic relationship development, a time that can be especially turbulent for all couples. The present study used qualitative data from 60 cisgender, same-gender couples (50% female) collected during a semistructured conversation couples had regarding their relationship formation and early history. Applied content analysis was used to explore the role of mental health and substance use on couples' relationship formation and early functioning. Primary themes included the role of alcohol and substance use in accelerating relationship development, perception of partners as a mental health support promoting relationship formation, and associations between partner's psychological distress and early relationship distress and instability. More female couples than male couples described their poor mental health at relationship initiation as both promoting relationship involvement and exacerbating conflict. These findings highlight the relevance of mental health and substance use problems for same-gender couples' early romantic relationship development given the mental health disparities they face. Future research will be needed to explore if findings generalize to other types of sexual and gender minority couples and heterosexual couples.

However, there is less family stress model research examining other risk processes that link parental stressors to parenting or resilience processes that counteract these pathways. This study examined parents' developmentally appropriate attributions (DAAs) of young children's behavior as a link between multiple dimensions of parental adversity and stress, and multiple parenting indicators. Parental DAAs were hypothesized to (a) stem from childhood, cumulative, and contemporaneous adversity and stress and (b) relate to parenting quality. Participants were 95 mothers (M = 30.26 years, SD = 5.74, range = 20.01-45.66 years; 67.4% Black, 11.6% White, 7.4% bi-/multiracial, and 13.6% other) and their 4- to 6-year-old children residing in emergency shelters in a Midwestern metro area. Mothers completed validated measures on their own childhood abuse and neglect, DAAs, cumulative sociodemographic risk, current perceived stress and psychological distress, and the 5-min speech sample, later coded for expressed emotion (EE). Mother-child dyads then completed a 20-min structured interaction subsequently coded for observed effective parenting. Mothers' higher levels of childhood neglect and perceived stress were associated with their lower DAAs. In turn, higher DAAs were related to lower EE negativity, higher EE warmth, and more effective observed parenting. Parental DAAs may be a malleable target for interventions guided by the family stress model and resilience frameworks that could help parents reframe interpretations of ambiguous child behaviors in more benign, empathic, and developmentally sensitive ways to promote more positive parenting behaviors and relationships.

However, few studies have examined the role of interparental conflict among these pathways and the resilience factors that buffer the FSM processes. Understanding risk and resilience is especially relevant for families in Flint, MI, for whom poverty resulting from structural racism and chronic disinvestment has coincided with public health crises. Using 199 families from low socioeconomic backgrounds in an ongoing parenting intervention in Flint, this study examined whether parent psychological distress and interparental conflict mediated the association between economic pressure at baseline (around birth) and cognitive stimulation at 9 months, and whether parenting self-efficacy and social support moderated the sequential mediation. Data were collected through parent interviews at both time points. We found that the negative association between economic pressure at baseline and cognitive stimulation at 9 months was sequentially mediated by parent psychological distress and interparental conflict. Furthermore, this negative sequential mediation was reduced and became nonsignificant when parents reported higher levels of parenting self-efficacy and social support. These findings suggest that improving interparental relationships in addition to parent mental health may promote positive parenting in at-risk two-parent families and that strength-based interventions are needed to reinforce parenting self-efficacy and facilitate parents' social networks and connections with the community to foster positive parenting. Programs should address these issues during infancy to build a strong foundation for long-term healthy development.

Economic hardship, economic pressure, emotional distress in the form of hostility, and observed harsh couple interaction were assessed in middle adulthood. Loneliness was assessed in later adulthood. Self-mastery in the later years was examined as a resilience process for loneliness. Using structural equation models with a dyadic approach, consistent with the FSM, results indicated economic hardship related to economic pressure, which was related to husband and wife hostility. Both actor and partner effects were significant for the paths from hostility to harsh couple interaction for husbands and for wives. However, it was only wife to husband harsh couple interaction that predicted both wife and husband loneliness. In terms of the resilience process, self-mastery had a compensatory effect for husband and wife loneliness, and wife mastery buffered the effects of her harsh couple interactions and husband loneliness. Results suggest economic hardship experienced in middle adulthood has long-term effects on loneliness into later adulthood, but self-mastery was revealed as an individual- and partner-level resilience factor that reduced or buffered the negative impact of FSM on loneliness.

The sample consisted of 1,148 adolescents (607 boys and 541 girls; Mage = 11.51 ± 1.13 years old at T1) and their mothers. At T1 and T2, objective and subjective family economic status were assessed. Mothers rated their depression and positivity. At T2, adolescents rated nurturant-involved parenting, family conflicts, and their own positivity, depression, and academic self-regulation. The number of COVID-19 cases in each province was extracted to index regional pandemic risk. Results showed that the associations of the T1-to-T2 changes in family income (mainly in regions with higher pandemic risk) and subjective family economic status with T2 family conflicts and T2 nurturant-involved parenting were linked by the T1-to-T2 change in maternal positivity. In turn, the associations of T2 family conflicts and T2 nurturant-involved parenting with adolescents' depression and academic self-regulation at T2 were linked by T2 adolescent positivity.

In analyzing two phases of data collected with Black maternal caregivers living in the Midwest, we explored Black maternal caregivers' descriptions of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their families and the importance of joy during this time. Using consensual qualitative analysis, we identified six main themes of how their lives were shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic: (1) experiencing loss of income, (2) experiencing isolation, (3) experiencing a death in the family, (4) experiencing greater closeness with their children, (5) navigating virtual learning, and (6) experiencing the birth of a new baby or a new family member joining the household. Additionally, they described joy as a family during the pandemic as togetherness and safety. In the interviews, we identified three main themes that represented key aspects of what joy meant to Black maternal caregivers and their families: (1) \"It helped me cope with life\": Joy as a Way to Cope Amid Difficult Life Experiences; (2) \"What if [joy] starts with what's around her\": Joy as a Way to Engender Resistance Among Black Children; and (3) \"Just joy in doing the small things\": Joy as It Occurs Through Everyday Activities.
