Few studies have examined whether parenting prevention programs might mitigate risk for suicidality in parents, yet parent is a strong factor offspring suicidality. We report results from randomized controlled trial of program deployed National Guard and Reserve families with school‐aged child. Intent‐to‐treat analyses showed that random assignment to the ( ADAPT ) was associated improved locus control LOC ). Improved concurrently strengthened emotion regulation which predicted reductions...

Abstract Transactional cascades among child internalizing and externalizing symptoms, fathers’ mothers’ posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms were examined in a sample of families with male parent who had been deployed to recent military conflicts the Middle East. The role parents’ positive engagement coercive interaction their child, family members’ emotion regulation tested as processes linking symptoms. A subsample 183 fathers nondeployed mothers 4- 13-year-old children...

The current study examines a military family stress model, evaluating associations between deployment-related stressors (i.e., deployment length/number, posttraumatic disorder [PTSD] symptoms) and parent, child, parenting, dyadic adjustment among families in which parent had previously deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan the recent conflicts. Married (N = 293) with at least one child ages of 4 12 were recruited from Midwestern state. Service members Reserve Component (National Guard Reserves);...

Being able to control oneself in emotionally upsetting situations is essential for good relationship functioning. According life history theory, childhood exposure harshness and unpredictability should forecast diminished emotional lower quality. We examined this three studies. In Studies 1 2, greater (frequent financial, residential, familial changes), but not (low SES), was associated with adolescents (N = 1041) adults 327). These effects were stronger during the participants' reproductive...

Deployment separation and reunifications are salient contexts that directly impact effective family functioning parenting for military fathers. Yet, we know very little about determinants of postdeployed father involvement parenting. The present study examined hypothesized risk protective factors observed 282 fathers who served in the National Guard/Reserves. Preintervention data were employed from participating After Deployment, Adaptive Parenting Tools randomized control trial. practices...

According to life history theory, exposure harshness and/or unpredictability early in should promote a fast strategy. Such strategy entails, among other traits, elevated aggression and impaired relationship functioning. While detrimental under safe stable conditions, these characteristics become more evolutionary adaptive harsh ever-changing environment which risks are uncertain the future is difficult predict. Hence, individuals who experienced their home grow up have conflictual...

Objectives We tested the moderating effect of psychological mindedness (PM) on relationship between past experience child abuse and both intimate partner violence (IPV) quality. Method Female Israeli graduate students (N = 425; mean age 35.9 years), either married or in cohabitation, completed an electronic questionnaire. The data were analyzed by SEM multiple group analysis women with high vs. low PM. Results Child was associated IPV among a level PM but not Contrary to expectation,...

The aim of the current study was to test whether women’s emotional regulation (ER) capacity moderates relationship between childhood abuse and both adult intimate partner violence (IPV) quality. Female graduate students ( N = 425), either married or in a long-term cohabitation, participated an Internet-based survey. Structural equation model (SEM) multiple-group analysis conducted estimate link marital outcomes varied across high low levels ER. data showed that associated with higher IPV...

This study assessed the mediating pathways of observed couple communication on dyadic associations between experiential avoidance (EA) and relationship quality. A sample 228 military couples following combat deployment participated in a conflict discussion completed self-report measures to assess EA Results an actor–partner interdependence model using structural equation modeling indicated that for both dyad members greater was associated with their own lower Higher men more negative...

Using the family stress model as our conceptual framework, we explored whether observed maternal parenting practices (positive and coercive) account for associations between mothers' post‐traumatic symptoms children's externalising behaviours. Mothers' self‐reported symptoms, practices, reports of behaviour were collected from 123 Israeli mothers their children, who exposed to ongoing rocket attacks in southern Israel. A structural equation revealed that linked with greater coercive which...

Abstract Deployment to war is associated with disruptions emotion regulation and parenting. Using data from a randomized controlled trial, we examined whether fathers poorer would differentially benefit the After Deployment, Adaptive Parenting Tools program, 14-session group-based parenting intervention. Prior analyses of intervention demonstrated benefits observed couple children's adjustment, but not fathers’ In this study effects on distress avoidance were moderated by baseline...

To explore dyadic associations between mindfulness and marital quality gender differences in these associations-that is, the relation of each dyad member's with his or her own partner's quality.Recent studies have demonstrated benefits for quality. However, within partners are still unclear. In addition, despite challenges associated deployment to war, military couples is yet unknown.A sample 228 following male partner recent conflicts Iraq Afghanistan completed an online survey measuring...

This study explored the behavioral and emotional adjustment of Israeli school-age children who are exposed to political violence. Based on Bronfenbrenner's (1986) ecological model psychosocial trauma (Harvey, 2007), we examined direct contribution exposure, gender, maternal characteristics (mother's posttraumatic stress symptoms [PTSS], care control), community type (development town vs. kibbutz), children's adjustment. In addition, whether moderated association between exposure...

Women dealing with breast cancer (BC) face many challenges, one of which is the fear recurrence (FCR). This study examined whether disease severity predicts FCR 6 months after diagnosis through psychological distress and cognitive-emotion regulation moderates this effect.

Previous research has found elevated levels of psychological distress (i.e., posttraumatic stress, depressive and anxiety symptoms) among veterans. Existing theory evidence show how is associated with marital disruptions. Only a few studies, however, have tested the link between couple communication quality in military couples, most which were cross-sectional employed self-report measures. The current study investigated whether predicts changes observed across 1 year 228 couples consisting...

Background The interrelation between exposure to trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and regulatory functioning in children is gaining increasing attention. This study examines the effects of maternal symptoms (PTS) on child deficits sensory regulation, behavior executive functioning. Method sample at first measurement (2011, T1) included 382 Israeli mothers their young (child's mean age = 3.89 years; SD 1.26), 240 them were reassessed after 4 years (2015, T2). Mothers...

Negative affect caused by stressful life events can carry over to parental relationships and induce distress. Such spillover effects, however, may not operate uniformly in men women, be the same for different types of events. Employing history theory, we hypothesized that male parents should experience more distress following exposure cues extrinsic morbidity-mortality (illness or death someone close) economic unpredictability (financial occupational changes). We tested this hypothesis two...
