Prevalence and factors of addictive Internet use among adolescents in Wuhan, China: interactions of Parental Relationship with age and hyperactivity-impulsivity.
PloS one, 2013Co-Authors: Xinguang Chen, Juan Han, Heng Meng, Jianghong Luo, Liesl A. NydeggerAbstract:This study examined the prevalence of addictive Internet use and analyzed the role of Parental Relationship in affecting this behavior among a random sample of adolescents in Wuhan, China. Students (n = 1,101) were randomly selected from four schools, including 638 boys and 463 girls with a mean age of 13.8 (standard deviation = 1.2) years. Addictive Internet use, Parental Relationship, hyperactivity-impulsivity were measured by validated instruments. Prevalence rate, ANOVA and multiple linear regression method were used to analyze the level of Internet addiction and its association with Parental Relationship, hyperactivity-impulsivity, as well as the interaction of Parental Relationship with chronological age and hyperactivity-impulsivity. The prevalence rate of Internet addiction was 13.5% (16.5% for boys and 9.5% for girls, p<0.01). Compared to non-addictive users, addictive Internet users were scored significantly lower on Parental Relationships and significantly higher on hyperactivity-impulsivity. Interaction analysis indicated that better Parental Relationship was associated with more reductions in risk of addictive Internet use for younger students than for older students, and with more risk of Internet addiction among higher than among lower hyperactivity-impulsivity students. Findings of this study indicate that adolescent addictive Internet use is a significant public health threat in China. Prevention interventions targeting Parental Relationship must consider adolescent's age and hyperactivity-impulsivity tendency.

Parental Relationship dissolution and child development: the role of child sleep quality.
Sleep, 2018Co-Authors: Brittany N. Rudd, Brian M. D’onofrio, Amy Holtzworth-munroe, Mary WaldronAbstract:We utilized the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing longitudinal dataset to evaluate associations among a maternal Relationship dissolution, childhood sleep, and child development, specifically externalizing and internalizing symptoms, attention and social difficulties, as well as cognitive ability, when children were ages 5 (n = 3590) and 9 (n = 3062). A maternal Relationship dissolution was related to poorer child sleep quality at ages 5 and 9. There was evidence of an indirect relation from a maternal Relationship dissolution to child development through poor sleep quality when the child was 5 and 9 years old. The implications of this work are discussed.

Sleep Problems and Separation Anxiety in Preschool-Aged Children: A Path Analysis
Journal of Child and Family Studies, 2015Co-Authors: Angelika Schlarb, Stefanie Jaeger, Silvia Schneider, Tina In-albon, Martin HautzingerAbstract:Sleep problems occur frequently in young children, possibly causing detrimental effects on their development. Parental marital difficulties are known to put a burden on children’s sleep and adjustment. However, research concerning the relation between the Parental Relationship quality and children’s sleep difficulties is rare for preschool-aged children. This study aims to fill in the gap. Initially, caregivers of 94 preschoolers (41 girls and 53 boys, aged 2–6 years) filled in questionnaires providing information on their children’s sleep and anxiety as well as on their own sleep and Relationship quality. A path model approach was used to examine two competing theoretical models linking these factors. The conducted path analysis indicated that children’s separation anxiety, β = −.134, p = .017, as well as their anxiety in general, β = −.177, p = .024, partially mediated the relation between the Parental Relationship quality and children’s sleep problems. Parental sleep problems correlated with the Relationship quality, r = −.371, p = .030, but had no significant influence on children’s sleep. The results of our study suggest that children growing up with parents who state a low Relationship quality might thus be concerned about the stability of their family system. As a result children’s sleep quality might be compromised due to irritation and feelings of insecurity. The study highlights the importance of the Parental Relationship as an influence factor in children’s sleep quality.

If I [Take] Leave, Will You Stay? Paternity Leave and Relationship Stability
Journal of social policy, 2019Co-Authors: Richard J. Petts, Daniel L. Carlson, Chris KnoesterAbstract:Recent European studies suggest that fathers' leave-taking may contribute to Parental Relationship stability. Paternity leave-taking may signal a commitment by fathers toward a greater investment in family life, which may reduce the burden on mothers and strengthen Parental Relationships. This study uses longitudinal data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort (ECLS-B) to analyze the association between paternity leave-taking and Relationship stability in the United States. Results indicate that paternity leave-taking, and taking relatively short leaves (i.e., two weeks or less) in particular, is associated with greater Relationship stability. These findings increase our understanding of the potential benefits of paternity leave, and can inform policy decisions that aim to increase family stability.

Paternity Leave and Parental Relationships: Variations by Gender and Mothers' Work Statuses
Journal of marriage and the family, 2018Co-Authors: Richard J. Petts, Chris KnoesterAbstract:This study examines the associations between paternity leave and parents' reports of Relationship satisfaction and Relationship conflict, and whether the associations vary by parent gender and mothers' work statuses. Paternity leave research in the U.S. has focused on implications for father involvement, but paternity leave may also help to strengthen Parental Relationships by promoting a more equitable division of domestic labor. Given gender gaps in childcare, the association between paternity leave and Parental Relationship outcomes may also vary by gender and mothers' work statuses. The sample consists of 4,700 couples (i.e., parent dyads) from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort. Multilevel models are used to assess the associations between paternity leave and both Relationship satisfaction and conflict, and whether these associations vary by gender and mothers' work statuses. Paternity leave-taking is positively associated with parents' reports of Relationship satisfaction, but length of paternity leave is only positively associated with mothers' reports of Relationship satisfaction. Also, among mothers who worked prior to the child's birth, paternity leave-taking and length of leave are negatively associated with their reports of Relationship conflict. In contrast, among mothers who did not work in paid labor pre-birth, paternity leave is positively associated with mothers' reports of Relationship conflict. Paternity leave may have implications for Parental Relationships (and especially mothers' perceptions of their Relationships with fathers).
