Parental Self-Regulation as the Mechanism of Change","authors":"Tianyi Ma,&nbsp;Cassandra L. Tellegen,&nbsp;Julie Hodges,&nbsp;Christopher Boyle,&nbsp;Matthew R.

Although past literature has frequently identified the parenting self-efficacy element of parental self-regulation as a key determinant of the strength of the home–school partnership, this knowledge base relies heavily on cross-sectional studies. This paper follows on from an article in <i>Family Process</i> reporting the findings of a cluster randomized trial of an evidence-based parenting program designed to promote parental self-regulation, namely the seminar version of the Triple P—Positive Parenting Program. The trial found post-intervention improvements in two domains of the home–school partnership, namely parent–teacher communication and parent school-based involvement. Given that the home–school partnership was not a target of the intervention, the current study conducted a mechanism of change analysis to examine whether improvements in the home–school partnership could be attributed to post-intervention improvements in parental self-regulation. Data were collected from a sample of 912 parents of children attending 160 different primary schools across three Australian states. Following a Random Intercept Cross-lagged Panel Model (RI-CLPM) approach, bidirectional within-participant effects between parental self-regulation and parent–teacher communication were found, while unidirectional within-participant effects were found for parent school-based involvement. The findings provided support to the proposed theory of change where improvements in parental self-regulation are the underlying mechanism behind reported post-intervention improvements in the quality of the home–school partnership. The findings also support the potential spillover benefits of school-based delivery of evidence-based parenting programs.</p><p><b>Trial Registration:</b> Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry: ACTRN12623000852651</p>","PeriodicalId":51396,"journal":{"name":"Family Process","volume":"65 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13123302/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147788915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Engin Deniz,&nbsp;Seydi Ahmet Satıcı","doi":"10.1111/famp.70147","DOIUrl":"10.1111/famp.70147","url":null,"abstract":"<div>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Despite growing evidence of its role in individual well-being, little is known about how self-compassion influences parent–child interactions, particularly interpersonal and reciprocal processes. Integrative models that combine self-compassion, emotion regulation, and cognitive flexibility are needed to understand how these characteristics affect family dynamics. To cover theoretical and methodological gaps, this study analyzes longitudinal dyadic associations between self-compassion, emotion regulation difficulties, and cognitive flexibility in parent–child relationships. To this end, the Longitudinal Actor–Partner Interdependence Model (L-APIM) was employed as a dyadic analytic approach. The study sample comprised 248 adolescents and one of their parents (<i>N</i> = 496) residing in Türkiye. According to the analysis results, at the actor effects level, adolescents' self-compassion positively affects their cognitive flexibility, while parents' self-compassion negatively affects their own difficulties in emotion regulation. At the partner effects level, adolescents' self-compassion negatively affects their parents' difficulties in emotion regulation, while parents' self-compassion positively affects their children's cognitive flexibility. These results reveal that self-compassion has cognitive and emotional effects on the psychological functioning within the family and that an individual's internal resources play a decisive role not only for themselves but also for the psychological processes of family members with whom they have close relationships. These findings suggest that self-compassion intervention research should consider family psychological connections.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51396,"journal":{"name":"Family Process","volume":"65 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147788912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This mixed methods study aimed to identify associated factors and enablers of family focused practice. A range of adult mental health and children's social care professionals in Northern Ireland completed the Family Focused Mental Health Practice Questionnaire (<i>n</i> = 868). The survey measured the extent of professionals' family focused behaviors (Referral; Psycho–Education; and Skills and Knowledge to support parent and their parenting) and four organizational (e.g., Workplace Support) and four individual professional factors (e.g., Connectedness) associated with these activities. The STROBE checklist for cross-sectional research was adhered to. Nested regressions identified nine factors associated with family focused practice; most significant were professionals' gender, professional discipline, years of experience, training in the Family Model and other training in child or family focused practice. Male professionals, social workers and those with more years of experience and who had received training in the Family Model and other training in child and family focused practice were most family focused. Subsequently 30 professionals and 21 service users participated in semistructured interviews to elaborate on factors associated with family focused practice. Both professionals and service users described the importance of family focused training while social workers more often discussed receiving the training and engaging in family focused practice than other disciplines. As clear skill, knowledge, and confidence differences are indicated between the professions they require consideration by organizations in developing training, policy and initiatives to promote FFP within adult mental health and children's social services in Northern Ireland and internationally.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51396,"journal":{"name":"Family Process","volume":"65 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147788899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most research on father involvement in parenting has been conducted in high-income countries in Western countries, and most research from Africa relies on mothers' reports. This study surveyed 236 Ugandan fathers raising children aged 6–17 years on their parenting and their children's mental health issues. Using the <i>Mplus</i> software, we conducted path analysis to predict child mental health symptoms (attention, internalizing, and externalizing) with father involvement and father positive parenting as independent variables while also controlling for the covariates. Results indicated that father involvement was negatively associated with attention problems (<i>β</i> = −0.28, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001), internalizing problems (<i>β</i> = −0.11, <i>p</i> = 0.02), and externalizing problems (<i>β</i> = −0.50, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001). Conversely, father's positive parenting had a small but statistically significant association with only internalizing problems (<i>β</i> = −0.11, <i>p</i> = 0.03). Further, we conducted exploratory analyses to examine whether marital status influenced these associations. We found that father involvement was negatively associated with externalizing and attention symptoms among married and unmarried fathers. Conversely, positive parenting was not significantly associated with internalizing, externalizing, or attention symptoms in either group. These findings suggest that greater father involvement may reduce behavioral and emotional issues in Ugandan children and thus emphasize the need to involve more fathers in parenting interventions.</p>","PeriodicalId":51396,"journal":{"name":"Family Process","volume":"65 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13081503/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147693509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the personal and inter-spousal relationships between parenting perfectionism and parental stress among Chinese couples over time have been largely overlooked in the academic literature. Additionally, the moderating effect of marital satisfaction on these relationships remains unclear. Based on a sample of 642 Chinese couples with adolescent children in Grades 7 and 8 at Time 1, Actor–Partner Interdependent Modeling (APIM) analyses were conducted to assess the patterns of father–mother interdependence in the associations of parenting perfectionism (adaptive and maladaptive) with parental stress over time, as well as the moderating role of marital satisfaction in the relationships. The findings indicated that mother-reported maladaptive parenting perfectionism was positively associated with both paternal and maternal stress over time. An actor-only pattern was identified in the association of maladaptive parenting perfectionism with maternal stress, whereas a partner-only pattern was observed in the relationship between maladaptive parenting perfectionism and paternal stress. Moreover, father-perceived marital satisfaction strengthened these associations. These results offer valuable insights for family scholars and practitioners, underscoring the importance of examining the effects of parenting perfectionism on parental well-being.
