The present prospective, longitudinal study of 193 young adults (85 men, 108 women, M = 20.7 years old) and their partners in ongoing romantic relationships 1997 was initiated 1989, when the target youths were 7th grade. On basis model for development early adult (DEARR; C. Bryant & R. D. Conger, press), authors hypothesized that interactional processes family origin would predict interpersonal skills by youths, which be positively related to couple's relationship quality. Observational...

The present study examines reciprocal associations between marital functioning and adolescent maladjustment using cross-lagged autoregressive models. research involved 451 early adolescents their families used a prospective, longitudinal design with multi-informant methods. Results indicate that parental conflicts over child rearing predicted depressive symptoms delinquency. In turn, these problems exacerbated rearing. Furthermore, conflict served as the nexus through which more generalized...

Little attention has been paid to whether violence in adolescent romantic relationships is associated with relationship later young adulthood. This study examined the continuation of intimate partner (IPV) from adolescence Using data National Longitudinal Study Adolescent Health, results negative binomial models and propensity score showed that being victimized by partners was significantly both perpetration victimization Women reported higher levels lower than men did. Those who were living...

Objectives. Although evidence suggests that physical disability and depression may be reciprocally related, questions of causality versus spuriousness the direction remain to confidently answered. This study considered hypothesis reciprocal influence; possibility in relation pain, stress, lifetime major depression; possible mediating effects pain social stress.

Prevention of intimate partner violence on college campuses includes programs designed to change attitudes, and hence, a scale that assesses such attitudes is needed. Study 1 (N = 859) cross validates the factor structure Intimate Partner Violence Attitude Scale-Revised using exploratory analysis presents initial validity data scale. In 2 687), obtained three-factor (Abuse, Control, Violence) tested confirmatory analysis, it shown be concurrently related assault in romantic relationships...

The differential effects of parental divorce and marital conflict on young adult children's romantic relationships were examined in this short-term longitudinal study. Using a sample 285 adults, structural equation modeling supported the hypothesis that independently associated with through different mechanisms: Parental was adults' low level relationship quality negative attitude toward marriage (positive divorce) lack commitment to their own current relationships. However, behavior...

This study examined the link between parental divorce and marital conflict young adult romantic relationships, it tested whether offspring efficacy beliefs mediate this association. Young adults (N=358) provided data at three time points each separated by 7-week intervals. Results from structural equation modeling demonstrated that (a) parents' conflict, rather than divorce, was associated with behavior; (b) relationship mediated association; (c) behavior, in turn, association quality of...

The present study examined whether physical and verbal aggression in the family of origin were associated with similar patterns young adult couples. Hypotheses tested using a sample 213 focal individuals who followed from adolescence to adulthood. Results suggested that when participants adolescents predicted romantic partners adults. association between interparental later unions was partially mediated through parents' they adolescents. Both revealed same pattern findings. All together,...

The present study examines the mediating and moderating effects of parenting behavior on relation between marital problems adolescent maladjustment. Extending earlier studies by using a prospective, longitudinal research design multi‐informant methods, this 451 adolescents their families from Iowa Youth Families Project demonstrates that mediates outcomes. results also suggest both conflict distress are harmful for adolescents. Furthermore, not just one aspect, but broad range behaviors...

There is inconsistency in the current literature regarding association between dimensions of parenting processes and academic achievement for adolescents. Further, few studies have extended such an into young adulthood. In this study, we examined effect three processes, including school‐specific involvement, general parental support, expectations, on adolescence Using a large, nationally representative, longitudinal sample, found that results from regression analyses suggested all had...

Afforestation is a widely accepted measure to control soil erosion around the world. A large area of forest has been built prevent slope in red region southern China since 1980s. The vegetation coverage significantly increased; however, there still moderate or severe under forest. In order improve situation, it necessary study effects canopy on Standard runoff plots were established two typical sites, which represented pure Pinus massoniana Lamb. and bare land, respectively. Precipitation...

Abstract Objective We provide details on how relationship researchers can use Monte Carlo simulation for power estimation and sample size determination the simple mediation Actor–Partner Interdependence Model (APIM). In addition to estimates specific sizes, we show each effect be determined. Background Researchers designing a study commonly want know what is required detect or in case after data collection completed effect. Method The solution present asks correlations among variables allows...

Although previous research shows that relationship closeness plays a central role in an individual’s willingness to forgive offender, it is based exclusively on data from Western, individualistic cultures. In the current study, authors examined association between and forgiveness across six countries, including both traditionally individualistic—Italy, Netherlands, United States—and collectivistic cultures—Japan, China (and one country, Turkey, with features). Results demonstrated that,...

It was proposed that parental divorce does not have a uniform effect on young adults' romantic relationships and differential outcomes depend how adults perceive their parents' divorce. Using sample of 571 adults, structural equation modeling suggested that, compared with those from intact families, whose parents divorced held more favorable attitude toward A positive associated lower commitment to relationship, which in turn affected its dissolution. More importantly, perception varied...
