Although recent scholarship has emphasized the importance of examining the rewards of raising children in understanding variations in psychological consequences of parenthood, empirical research remains focused on the demands of parenthood.
A nationally representative random sample of parents participated in a study examining the association between age of children and adult psychological well-being.
The association between parental military work factors and adolescent's well-being was examined. Data were collected from 1036 military youth.
Adolescents who had at least one Active Duty military parent participated in a study examining the associations among demographic information, military- related factors, and well-being.
Objective: Members of the US armed forces have been heavily deployed in support of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. This study examined the affect of a parent's deployment to war on the rate of psychiatric hospitalization among their children. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study.
In this retrospective cohort study of children of Active Duty military personnel, administrative records were evaluated to assess the effect of parental deployment on the rate of psychiatric hospitalization among children ages 9-17.
Parental responses to youth negative affect have been associated with social and emotional outcomes in youth.
Adolescents and their parents were surveyed about their emotion regulation strategies, emotion awareness, and adolescent negative affect in an effort to better understand how parents influence adolescent emotional development.
Data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Study of Early Childcare and Youth Development (N = 1,364) were used to investigate children's trajectories of academic and social development across 1st, 3rd, and 5th grades.
Children, their families, and teachers completed measures at pre-kindergarten and grades one, three, and five to consider the benefits of parental involvement for the academic and social development of children.
