Fathers' cognitive appraisals, coping strategies, and support resources as correlates of adjustment to parenthood

Article Abstract:

The stress-and-coping model suggested by R. Lazarus and colleagues has been used to assess fathers' adjustment to parenthood. This model presents coping resources, coping strategies and primary and secondary cognitive appraisals as key mediators of potentially stress-associated responses that influence behaviour, well-being and adjustment. It was found that regarding parenthood as a challenge is connected with a more positive adjustment outcome. Viewing parenthood as a stressful situation is linked with poor adjustment to parenthood. There were large differences between fathers and mothers in several areas.

Client gender as a process variable in marriage and family therapy: are women clients interrupted more than men clients?

Article Abstract:

Women clients in family and marriage therapy were interrupted by doctoral students three times more frequently than their male counterparts, according to videotaped research. The approach allowed conversation and gender to be integrated into family therapy and marriage therapy research. Males and females use conversational tactics differently during cross-gender ineractions, with men more likely to use power tactics while women use tactics to support conversation.

Triangles in the family circle: effects of family structure on marriage, parenting, and child adjustment

Article Abstract:

Multivariate analyses of several families with six- to 10-year-old children, with the aid of data from Family Cohesion Index, suggest a higher degree of marital discord in triangulated marriages than that in detouring, separate, or cohesive marriages. Children of triangulated families report negative effects on family due to parental conflict, while those of detouring families hold themselves responsible for problems between their parents.
