While prior research has confirmed the benefits of such capitalization processes, knowledge on how the type of events that are shared, and the way they are shared, affects individuals and relationships is limited. We investigated diary data from 49 married couples to examine associations between the explicitness in the disclosure of events that were either internal or external to the couple, and individual and relational well-being, above and beyond the effects of the events and their disclosure. Multilevel analyses suggested that self-esteem and relationship quality increased as a function of women’s and men’s reports of internal and external positive events, but not as a function of the mere disclosure of the event. Being explicit when disclosing a positive event to the partner, however, was positively associated with individual and relational well-being in women and in men, beyond the effects of the event and its disclosure. We discuss how the current research contributes to the understanding of the capitalization process and its contribution to well-being, underscoring the importance of communication skills.","PeriodicalId":89367,"journal":{"name":"Family science","volume":"6 1","pages":"119 - 128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19424620.2015.1082013","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60319430","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}

Savoring processes are expected to have an impact on romantic relationships, although no study has yet been conducted. Using self-reported data from 473 adults in a conjugal relationship, this study investigated the predictive value of savoring strategies regarding relationship quality and dyadic adjustment; and whether savoring responses moderate the relationship between positive events in couplehood and the relational outcomes. Counting blessings, feeling relieved, memory building, and kill-joy thinking strategies predict several relational dimensions. Moderation analyses highlight that the behavioral expression, counting blessings, and memory building strategies affect positive events’ impact on several relational outcomes. Given the suggested role of savoring strategies in partners’ relational well-being, we believe that this issue may be targeted in marital counseling or training programs.","PeriodicalId":89367,"journal":{"name":"Family science","volume":"6 1","pages":"170 - 180"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19424620.2015.1082047","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60320101","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}

But from a psychological point of view, the construction of the adoptive bond is a process that begins long before the first meeting and continues long afterward. In fact, one speaks of ‘transition’ to adoption precisely to indicate that adoption is a process that takes place over an extended period of time; indeed, it is a lifelong process (Cigoli & Scabini, 2006). Moreover, the adoption experience is not limited to the child and the parents, but involves the entire family and social context. It represents a community response to the problem of abandoned children and sterility, and provides a singular way to become a part of the family and part of the family lineage. The bond that is gradually built between the parents and the child has been called the ‘adoptive pact’ (Greco & Rosnati, 1998): it is a curious and unique amalgam of needs, expectations and the personal histories of all those who enter into the contract – the child, the couple, and the parents’ extended families. The pact’s outcome is not simply the reciprocal satisfaction of needs: it involves more than merely subtracting deficiencies (the lack of children for the adoptive couple and the lack of a family for the child) from, and adding resources to, the family equation. To be constructive, the pact has to assimilate these reciprocal deficiencies and transform them into a generative commitment of which both parents and children are part. Generativity was defined by Erik Erikson as the determining feature of adulthood (Erikson, 1968). It refers to those actions of care and concern, expressed through parenting, teaching, and leadership, through professional or artistic ‘products’, and through voluntary work: in other words, all actions and commitments which are aimed at implementing the well-being of future generations (Marta, Lanz, & Tagliabue, 2012; McAdams & de St. Aubin, 1992). Generativity is seen as being on the opposite end of the spectrum from Stagnation, which refers to remain self-centered the retreat into oneself. In other words, those who are successful during this phase are committed beyond self; they feel that they contribute to the world by being active in their home and community, and are able to open their horizons to the future. In the literature different types and shapes of generativity have been identified (Kotre & Kotre, 1998; Snarey & Clark, 1998): biological generativity, which refers to giving birth to a child and providing the necessary care for basic need for child growth; parental generativity, that is caring for one’s own child, promoting his/her development and identity and transmitting family values and traditions; and social generativity, which encompasses the sense of responsibility and commitment to fostering the growth and the well-being not only of one’s own childr","PeriodicalId":89367,"journal":{"name":"Family science","volume":"6 1","pages":"38 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19424620.2015.1080962","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60318370","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}

The data used here were drawn from the Survey on the use of parental leave in Spain, whose coverage included 1125 working parents living with their likewise working partners and children under the age of 13 years. The results suggest that paternal and grandparental childcare tend to be more substitutional than complementary. The analysis also shows that a significant portion of dual-earner households do not routinely rely on grandparents for childcare, and that paternal and maternal grandparents do not replace but rather complement each other.","PeriodicalId":89367,"journal":{"name":"Family science","volume":"63 1","pages":"31 - 37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19424620.2015.1009934","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60318483","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 article aims first to investigate whether childbearing within cohabitation reflects a new living arrangement that replaces marriage or whether it is favored by poor economic circumstances. The second aim of this article is to examine whether married or cohabitant women can be distinguished based on their levels of subjective well-being (SWB), family attitudes, and gender opinions. Using a subsample of married and cohabitant mothers from the Swiss Household Panel (SHP), multilevel models reveal that childbearing within cohabitation in Switzerland does not reflect a pattern of disadvantage and that married and cohabitant mothers differ. Cohabitant mothers tend to be less satisfied with life in general, and tend to share a less traditional perspective on family, than married mothers. The research concludes that cohabitation could be considered an avant-garde family style that exhibits more equal division of tasks within the household.","PeriodicalId":89367,"journal":{"name":"Family science","volume":"6 1","pages":"370 - 379"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19424620.2015.1102155","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60320082","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}

After controlling for sociodemographic variables, parental reports on coparenting conflict and cooperation predicted nursery teachers’ ratings of oppositional-aggressive behavior of the child. In addition, cooperation between parents was associated with lower levels of parenting stress if parents endorsed a liberal attitude toward parental roles that value paternal involvement in child-rearing.

This study does so to analyze the temporal and spatial allocation of fathers’ time spent on parenting activities. Belgian time-use data of intact families with at least one child under the age of 7 (n = 950) reveal that fathers’ rise in solo physical childcare comes at a cost: when mothers are present, fathers spend less time in both physical and interactive childcare. At the same time, ‘new fathers’ – fathers who share household work more equally with their partners – spend more time in childcare no matter what, whether solo or in the presence of children’s mothers.","PeriodicalId":89367,"journal":{"name":"Family science","volume":"6 1","pages":"282 - 292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19424620.2015.1082338","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60319978","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}
