In addition, we investigate whether the partner’s responses to each of these experiences mediate the link between experience and relationship outcomes. Altogether, 447 individuals who were currently in a relationship filled out an online questionnaire. Self-report measures included extra- and intra-dyadic everyday experiences of negative and positive events as well as corresponding partner responses and relationship satisfaction. Multigroup path analyses revealed that both negative and positive extra-dyadic experiences affect negative and positive intra-dyadic experiences of women, whereas the effects of positive extra-dyadic experiences had mixed effects for men. Furthermore, the perceived partner responses in each of the four experiences were found to be an important predictor with one exception for men’s intra-dyadic positive experiences.","PeriodicalId":89367,"journal":{"name":"Family science","volume":"6 1","pages":"129 - 142"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19424620.2015.1082018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60319513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, commitment in relationships has been assessed typically as a global dimension, confounding efforts to differentiate it from relationship satisfaction and to evaluate how it might be linked to behaviors relevant for relationship maintenance. To address these shortcomings, the current article presents a brief measure devised specifically to assess a person’s motivation to routinely engage in relationship maintenance. Using data from two studies involving Italian (N = 320) and Swiss samples (N = 120), we evaluated the psychometric properties of the scale. The results confirmed a single-factor solution with metric invariance across the two samples for five of six items. Significant associations with reports on positive and negative interpersonal behaviors relevant to relationship maintenance supported the validity of the scale.","PeriodicalId":89367,"journal":{"name":"Family science","volume":"6 1","pages":"160 - 169"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19424620.2015.1082046","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60319758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We pay particular attention to the role of mothers’ paid work time in influencing paternal child care. Results show that Danish fathers display the most involved child care behavior. Spanish fathers spend more time in child care than UK fathers, but Spanish fathers are less egalitarian than UK fathers regarding the relative contribution to the couple’s child care time. Women’s paid work is significantly associated with men’s routine child care, the most time-demanding and female-typed forms of parenting, but not with men’s interactive child care. The study suggests that maternal employment partly drives cross-national differences in fathers’ child care time, implying that women’s employment policies can influence active paternal involvement.","PeriodicalId":89367,"journal":{"name":"Family science","volume":"6 1","pages":"270 - 281"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19424620.2015.1082336","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60319901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies have shown that parental personality factors are predictive of the aptitude to collaborate in the coparental interaction. Parental self-esteem is one of the variables that influence parenting and coparenting. Coparenting may in turn influence parental self-esteem. This longitudinal study aimed at exploring the interplay between coparenting and self-esteem during the first two years of the child’s life. Maternal and paternal self-esteem have been taken into account as both parents contribute to the coparental dynamics. In total, 68 two-parent families were received in our laboratory at three time points (3, 9 and 18 months postpartum). The procedure included self-reported measures of parental self-esteem – along two dimensions: satisfaction and sense of efficacy in the parental role – as well as direct observation of coparenting behaviors in the PicNic game situation. Results showed that parental self-esteem and the quality of coparenting behaviors are stable from 3 to 18 months, except for paternal sense of efficacy, which increases over time. Moreover, positive increases in paternal sense of efficacy were linked with a higher coparenting at baseline, and with a decrease in coparenting from 3 to 18 months. Clinical implications of these results are discussed.","PeriodicalId":89367,"journal":{"name":"Family science","volume":"6 1","pages":"211 - 218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19424620.2015.1082052","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60320188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This includes a renewed focus on understanding parenting and supporting families through parenting programmes. Many programmes demonstrate positive outcomes for mothers and children, but do not typically consider the coparenting between mothers and fathers. Additionally, most evaluations overlook the ‘process of change’ or ‘active ingredients’ for promoting change in parenting practices. Consequently, the current study investigates the process of change in coparenting practices, using a mixed-method design beginning with semi-structured interviews and followed by questionnaires. The study found that coparents were influenced by various elements, which were underpinned by the coparents’ perceptions of one another. These included the developing coparenting alliance, process-oriented parenting and parenting programme support for both parents. This study concludes that only through understanding how change occurs in families, can services be developed, designed and delivered to meet families’ needs.","PeriodicalId":89367,"journal":{"name":"Family science","volume":"6 1","pages":"219 - 228"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19424620.2015.1106128","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60320746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the 1970s women, particularly mothers, began to move from primary involvement in the private sphere at home to greater involvement in the public sphere through paid employment. This first half of the process was completed in many countries by the mid-1990s, with a leveling off of the increase in married mother's labor force participation in many countries (OECD 2004). Men are expected to complete the revolution through greater involvement in the private sphere at home, but this part is ongoing. The second half of the gender revolution is the focus of this special issue. \u0000 \u0000The United States, the home of one of the editors of this special issue, has a romantic picture of how gender roles in the family have changed in Europe. We imagine fathers taking several weeks of parental leave after childbirth and thereafter sharing childrearing. In fact, as our third editor could tell us, across Europe there is substantial variation in the participation of women in the work force and, similarly, father involvement varies dramatically from country to country and even within country. One example is that, until a little more than two decades ago, Germany had been split into East and West for more than 40 years. In terms of gender roles, today the two regions remain distinct; the legacy of different political and economic systems and social expectations is not instantly erased. As another example, Switzerland's cultural heterogeneity – German, French, and Italian – makes for an intriguing set of contexts for variation in gender roles and public policies from canton to canton. This special issue sheds light on how different political, economic, and social system variations and conditions are linked to father involvement with children. \u0000 \u0000Testing the hypothesis of the second half of the gender revolution, several authors ask whether, as mothers engage more in the labor force across industrial nations, fathers respond with greater involvement at home, particularly regarding care for children? Several of the papers in this volume examine how the father's total time spent engaged with his children varies with the labor force participation of his partner. Absolute level of involvement is a good indicator, but a better indicator for measuring gender role equality is the proportion of total child care time the father contributes. A relative measure adjusts for the absolute amount of time spent by mothers in caring for children and, therefore, equalizes countries with different levels of maternal childcare time. Several of the studies take advantage of time diaries that were collected from both husbands and wives to classify their joint caregiving and to identify times when fathers are solo primary caregivers rather than joint caregivers. Two papers focus their analyses on the association of maternal and paternal employment with the absolute","PeriodicalId":89367,"journal":{"name":"Family science","volume":"6 1","pages":"240-242"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19424620.2015.1086206","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34533877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To test this, 55 parents participated in two tasks. First, a cry interpretation task led a random half of the participants to believe they mastered this skill and would do well on the subsequent task, while the other half was told their skill was low. In the second task parents chose appropriate responses to stop infant crying which exposed them to randomly assigned success rates (20%, 40%, 50%, or 80%). Parenting self-efficacy was rated before and after the second task. Results showed that positive persuasion led to higher parenting self-efficacy than negative persuasion. Crucially, parents who received positive persuasion were vulnerable to decreases in self-efficacy due to failure.
