Correction to Nguyen et al. (2020).

Reports an error in "When poor communication does and does not matter: The moderating role of stress" by Teresa P. Nguyen, Benjamin R. Karney and Thomas N. Bradbury (Journal of Family Psychology, Advanced Online Publication, Feb 20, 2020, np). There are two errors in the last sentence of the fifth paragraph (Model 4: Fluctuations in Cumulative Stress X Fluctuations in Behavior) of the Results section whereby the text "less cumulative stress" and "less stress" should have read "more cumulative stress" and "more stress," respectively. Thus, the correct sentence is as follows: "Specifically, relative increases in observed dyadic negativity were associated with decreases in husbands' relationship satisfaction when husbands also experienced more cumulative stress, whereas decreases in observed negativity in the presence of more stress were associated with increases in husbands' satisfaction (t = -2.00, p = .045, see Figure 1 and Table 2, Model 4)." Note that the findings are correctly stated elsewhere in the article. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2020-11898-001.) Although a number of theoretical perspectives in relationship science argue that variability in couples' relationship satisfaction over time is driven by changes in their communication, tests of this hypothesis have been limited to single assessments of behavior. To address this gap, we examine within-couple, across-time changes in communication, and we argue further that couples' external circumstances might combine with these behavioral changes to generate changes in relationship satisfaction. Using self-reports of satisfaction and in-home observational data collected 4 times at 9-month intervals from 414 newlywed couples, we show that fluctuations in dyadic behavior and spousal stress covary with fluctuations in spousal satisfaction. Tests of the interaction between fluctuations in stress and behavior reveal that husbands who experience upward fluctuations in negativity also experience decreases in relationship satisfaction at the same wave but only if they are concurrently experiencing greater stress than usual. Downward fluctuations in problem-solving effectiveness are associated with lower relationship satisfaction but only among spouses who had chronically high levels of cumulative stress; when chronic stress is low, reduced problem-solving effectiveness is unrelated to satisfaction. Exclusive focus on between-couple variability in couple communication, without regard for the stressors that couples face, will likely restrict the understanding and prevention of relationship distress.

"Sibling relationships in older adulthood: Links with loneliness and well-being": Correction.

Reports an error in "Sibling relationships in older adulthood: Links with loneliness and well-being" by Clare M. Stocker, Megan Gilligan, Eric T. Klopack, Katherine J. Conger, Richard P. Lanthier, Tricia K. Neppl, Catherine Walker O'Neal and K. A. S. Wickrama (Journal of Family Psychology, 2020[Mar], Vol 34[2], 175-185). In the original article, the df value is incorrect in the following sentence in the first paragraph of the Predictors of Individual Differences in Older Adults' Sibling Relationships section of the Results: "The global F-statistic for warmth was significant (F = 16.55, df = 3, 632, p < .001)." The correct value is "df = 3, 601." (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2019-46911-001). Researchers have documented associations between family relationships and a variety of well-being outcomes. Yet, sibling relationships, the longest lasting relationships in most people's lives, have received very little research attention beyond young adulthood. The goals of the current study were to: provide descriptive information about sibling relationships in later adulthood, investigate predictors of individual differences in sibling relationship quality, and examine associations among sibling relationship quality, loneliness, and well-being in later adulthood. The sample included 608 older adults (329 men, 279 women) who were 64.6 years old (SD = 4.58) on average. Participants provided self-report data about their relationships and well-being. Results showed that older adults reported high levels of sibling warmth and low levels of sibling conflict and parental favoritism. Sister-sister pairs had warmer sibling relationships than other gender-compositions. Sibling conflict and parental favoritism were positively associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety, hostility, and loneliness. Sibling warmth was negatively associated with loneliness. Loneliness partially mediated the associations between sibling relationship quality and well-being. Results from this study highlight the importance of sibling relationships in older adults' health and well-being. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

FEATURES OF CONSTRUCTION CHILD-PARENT RELATIONSHIPS IN FAMILIES WITH PARENTS OF DIFFERENT PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPES RAISING A CHILD WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY

Statement of the problem. The article presents an overview of theoretical positions and research on the problem of child-parent relations in families with children with intellectual disabilities. Child-parent relationships are one of the most important aspects studied in family psychology, family relations psychology, and age psychology. There is a lack of programs for correcting child-parent relationships in families with children with intellectual disabilities. The purpose of the article is to identify and characterize the features of the dominant psychological types of parents who raise a ‘special’ child, and the features of their direct interpersonal interaction. The research methodology consists of modern theoretical scientific positions of the General and Special Psychology on objective laws of mental development, on the structure of the defect, on general and specific patterns of mental development of a normally developing child and a child with disabilities (L.S. Vygotsky, V.I. Lubovsky); works of V.V. Tkacheva describing the relationship of parents and children in families with a child with an intellectual disability; concepts justifying the need for psychological support of the family in order to ensure the full development of the child’s personality: M.R. Bityanova, N.S. Glukhanyuk, I.V. Dubrovina, R.V. Ovcharova, T. Ancheva. The study involved 50 parents who have a child with mental retardation or mild mental retardation at the age of 7–10, studying at a secondary school in Krasnoyarsk. To diagnose the dominant psychological type of a parent, V.V. Tkacheva’s questionnaire “Psychological type of a parent” was used, and E. I. Zakharova’s ODRAV method was used to study features of interaction between children and parents. The Mann Whitney U-test is used for comparison of samples. The correlation analysis is based on the Spearman correlation coefficient calculation. Research results. The study showed that 50 % of the dominant psychological type is authoritarian, 32 % – psychosomatic, 18 % – neurotic. Each type of a parent has its own specific characteristics, especially the perception of children. Parents of the neurotic and psychosomatic types have higher values on the sensitivity block scales, but parents of the authoritarian type are better accepting themselves as a parent, and they are characterized by more positive feelings. Authoritarian parents are better guided by the emotional state of the child, are able to influence it. Parents of the psychosomatic type are characterized by lower indicators of the mood background and the ability to focus on the emotional background of the child. Parents of the neurotic type are more difficult to accept themselves as a parent, they often experience negative feelings in the situation of interaction with the child. Conclusion. It is concluded that the features of child-parent emotional relationships in families with a child with an intellectual disability are associated with the psychological type of parents. It is shown that the educational performance of children has a relationship with the dominant psychological type of parents. The authors note that the problem of parents’ relations with ‘special’ children has been studied for a long time, but there are few programs to correct these relations.

Massachusetts program provides BH support to doctors, nurses

Amidst the public health crisis, Child &amp; Family Psychological Services (CFPS), one of the state's largest mental health care providers, with more than 250 clinicians, is working to aid medical staff who are finding themselves struggling emotionally in the wake of the outbreak, MassLive reported April 24. The organization, whose 18 offices span across the Boston, MetroWest and Worcester areas, recently launched an initiative called the Provider Resiliency Program to offer specialized behavioral health care to doctors, nurses and other hospital employees dealing with the challenges of working during the pandemic. Through the program, the group's clinicians are available to give health care providers immediate support and skills on how to cope with the turbulence they may be experiencing. Staff are training front‐line workers about how to handle the short‐ and long‐term effects of the public health crisis, Dr. Michael Goldberg, president of the CFPS, noted.

PERSONAL TRAITS AND THE FAMILY ENVIRONMENT EVALUATION BY SPOUSES WITH VARIOUS MARRIAGE EXPERIENCE

Many studies in the field of family psychology turn their attention to various aspects: satisfaction with marriage, appearance of children, crises in the development of family. The development of marital relations is a significant factor affecting the interaction between spouses and their personal qualities. The issues of changing the spouses' perceptions of the family environment in connection with the length of marriage and gender role poses remain relevant. In a sample of 101 pairs of spouses with experience less and more than ten years were studied: extroversion, neuroticism and family environment characteristics. T-test, analysis of variance, and correlation were used. As a result, it was found that spouses with different lengths of family life differ in all respects of the family environment. Young spouses strive for self-realization in various spheres of life and the establishment of rules and norms of family interaction. As the length of marriage increases, the family environment becomes essential for husbands, while for wives, it brings the possibility of manifesting themselves in other areas of life. Differences in personality traits coincide with general age-related tendencies; this is how women's emotionality decreases and men's emotionality increases as a result of the joint family environment.

The current status on attitude to death and its influencing factors among oncology nurses

Objective To investigate the attitude to death of oncology nurses and analysis its influencing factors,so as to provide scientific references and basis for care of the dying patients. Methods A convenience sampling method was used to 309 nurses from Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital,the Third Affiliated Hospital of Naval Military Medical University.The survey was conducted by filling in the electronic questionnaire which powered by sojump.com. The questionnaire was composed with a demographic survey and Chinese version Death Attitude Profile-Revised. Results In the five dimensions of Death Attitude Profile-Revised,the highest factor score was in Approach Acceptance(3.56±0.74),the second was in Escape Acceptance(3.54±0.85) and the lowest was in Natural Acceptance(2.30±0.53).There was a statistically significant difference in the number of years of work in Nautral Acceptance(F value was 3.400, P<0.05).Parents with or without religious beliefs had statistically significant differences in Death of Avoidance(t value was 6.207, P<0.05). Consciously aware that the current physical condition was statistically different from Approach Acceptance and Escape Acceptance(F value was 3.494, 2.606, all P<0.05).Consciously the current psychological status was statistically different in Death Fear and Approach Acceptance and Escape Acceptance(F value was 3.381, 3.125, 3.911, all P<0.05).The situation of talking death in the family was statistically different between Death Fear and Death of Avoidance (F value was 2.899, 2.762, all P<0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in Death Fear and Death of Avoidance and Death Education (F value was 3.581, 5.336, all P<0.05). Conclusions The attitude to death in 309 oncology nurses is relatively passive.The main influencing factors are work experience and parents with or without religious beliefs and the situation of talking death in the family physiology and psychology conditions,whether or not receive death education. Key words: Attitude to death; Oncology nurse; Influencing factors

Insider Perceptions of Family and Disability Psychological, Social, and Spiritual Dimensions

Despite an abundance of research and literature documenting the experience of disability in the family, the viewpoint of the individual with the disability has largely been excluded from previous research. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of individuals with disabilities regarding the impact of disability on their families in the psychological, social, and spiritual domains. A total of 410 persons with disabilities (PWDs) responded to the Insider Perception of Family and Disability (IPFD) questionnaire developed for this study. Overall results reveal that PWDs often disagree with the extant literature. Recommendations derived from this study include actively seeking the perceptions of PWDs when considering family dynamics and experience of disability in research and practice.

Mechanisms of change in a brief, online relationship intervention.

[Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported online in Journal of Family Psychology on Nov 14 2019 (see record 2019-69050-001). In the article, the effect sizes listed in the "Mech. slope the effect sizes listed in the "Mech. slope →CSI slope" and "Indirect effect of treatment" columns of Table 2 were calculated incorrectly and mistakenly reported as Cohen's d values. These errors do not change any of the conclusions of the study.

These errors do not change any of the conclusions of the study. However, the correct values, column heads, and associated footnote are presented in the erratum.] Internet delivery of couple interventions is becoming increasingly popular; however, little is known about mechanisms of change during these interventions. One online, self-help relationship intervention-the OurRelationship program-has been shown to improve relationship satisfaction (Doss et al., 2016) during the intervention and to maintain gains through 12-months follow-up (Doss, Roddy, Nowlan, Rothman, & Christensen, 2019). This study seeks to understand mechanisms during and following this program using the same sample of 300 couples (600 individuals) randomly assigned to the program or a waitlist control group. Results from the bivariate growth curves revealed that greater increases in relationship satisfaction during the intervention were explained by improvements in negative communication, emotional intimacy, as well as target problem confidence and severity. However, changes in acceptance of targeted relationship problems, positive communication, and self-protective orientation were not related to changes in satisfaction during the intervention. Additionally, in a multivariate model, relationship target problem severity alone remained significant in the presence of other mechanisms. Improvements in positive and negative communication during the intervention and level of negative communication at the end of the intervention predicted maintenance of gains in satisfaction over 12-month follow-up. Results replicate previous findings that communication (Doss, Thum, Sevier, Atkins, & Christensen, 2005) and emotional intimacy (Doss et al., 2005; Hawrilenko, Gray, & Córdova, 2016) are key components in initial decreases in relationship distress. Furthermore, results suggest that improvements in communication may help couples more effectively navigate problems following the intervention-above and beyond its associations with prepost improvements in satisfaction.

"Mechanisms of change in a brief, online relationship intervention": Correction to Roddy et al. (2019).

"Parenting time, parenting quality, interparental conflict, and mental health problems of children in high-conflict divorce": Correction to O'Hara et al. (2019).

Reports an error in "Parenting time, parenting quality, interparental conflict, and mental health problems of children in high-conflict divorce" by Karey L. O'Hara, Irwin N. Sandler, Sharlene A. Wolchik, Jenn-Yun Tein and C. Aubrey Rhodes (Journal of Family Psychology, 2019[Sep], Vol 33[6], 690-703). In the article, the last sentence of the first paragraph under the heading "Are There Nonlinear Associations Between PT and PQ and IPC?" in the Discussion section incorrectly closes with "somewhere between 33% and 40% time with each parent." Instead, the text should read "somewhere between 33% and 40% time with the father." (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2019-40282-001.) Despite widespread acknowledgment that "frequent, continuing, and meaningful" (Pruett & DiFonzo, 2014) time with both parents is beneficial for children from divorced or separated families, and that interparental conflict (IPC) is associated with increased child mental health problems, the joint effects of parenting time (PT), parenting quality (PQ), and IPC on children's mental health problems are less clear. The current study integrates two theoretical models in multiple mediator analyses to test indirect effects of mothers' and fathers' PQ and IPC to explain the association between PT and children's mental health problems within the same model. Participants were children aged 9-18 years (N = 141) who had one or both parents participate in a randomized comparative effectiveness trial of a court-based prevention program for high-conflict divorcing or separating families. Data were collected at pretest and 9-month follow-up. Analyses revealed an indirect effect in which fathers' PQ mediated the association between PT and child internalizing problems both concurrently and 9 months later. There were no significant indirect effects involving IPC. Analyses indicated a significant quadratic relation between PT and fathers' PQ, suggesting that although more PT is associated with better father-child relationships, there is a point beyond which more time is not related to a better relationship. We discuss the study findings, research limitations, and implications for public policy. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

Psicologia da família, self e relação: revisão narrativa da construção de um campo disciplinar

A Psicologia da Família surgiu como disciplina na década de 1980, nos EUA. Influenciada pela Terapia de Família, adota a Abordagem Sistêmica como referencial teórico e se articula aos referenciais tradicionais da Psicologia. Defende a integração entre perspectivas teóricas que abordem o self e a relação. Realizou-se uma revisão narrativa, cujo objetivo foi o de analisar e discutir a produção nacional, considerando temas e áreas disciplinares. Foi feita uma pesquisa no SCIELO e na PEPSIC, de 2010 a 2019, com os termos Psicologia e Família. Posteriormente, foram trazidos artigos ilustrativos do Journal of Family Psychology, a fim de especificar a articulação entre self e relação. Os resultados indicaram que os estudos nacionais sobre família são realizados em várias áreas disciplinares da Psicologia e apresentam temas tradicionais e inovadores, que podem sugerir novas formas de intervenção psicológica.

Social and Psychological Analysis of the Transformation Family Functions in the Age of Globalization

In every society family is an institution created on the basis of the social laws, customs and traditions and is one of the main social inventions of humankind. Its main essence is defined by fulfilling social, group and individual needs. Family as one of the primary forms of social unity of humans provides conditions for meeting a range of important human needs, one of them being reproduction.Family functions are the main factors that precondition the existence and activity of family, as well as normal (functional) family environment. Fulfillment of these functions has exclusive importance not only for family members, individuals, but for the whole society. Researches on family psychology, sociology and pedagogy classify family functions on the basis of a variety of criteria. The paper analyzes traditional (specific) and non-traditional (non-specific) family functions from psychological perspective and classifies the social and psychological importance of changes in family functions in the age of globalization.

Review of the Volume “Trăind cu schizofrenia” [Living with Schizophrenia], Authors: Eliza Geanina Cogian, Adina Nicoleta Karner Huţuleac, Lumen Publishing House, 2020

The analysis of social discourses on schizophrenia, in terms of its causal aspects, effects but also forms of therapeutic intervention show a wide diversity of opinions, ranging from empathic to attitudes of total rejection. The book “Trăind cu schizofrenia” [Living with schizophrenia], published by Lumen Publishing House in 2020, is written by two practicing psychologists, Eliza Gianina Cogian, who has been training in family and couple systemic psychotherapy, and also as a therapist for people diagnosed with schizophrenia, and Adina Nicoleta Karner Huţuleac, who is a doctor of psychology and trainer of family and couple systemic psychotherapy. There are many misconceptions and myths about schizophrenia. We must recognize that these myths contribute to maintaining a global pessimism regarding the knowledge related to this disease and at the same time can reduce the patient's chances to improve their condition or to recover. In this sense, the book has the great merit of comparatively analyzing different theoretical concepts, including that of Jung or Bleuler, but also some forms of therapeutic intervention.

ASSESSMENT OF DEMAND FOR PUBLIC GOODS IN THE NON-MARKET SERVICES SECTOR

The article is devoted to the development and approbation of approaches to the assessment of demand for public goods. It presents the results of the assessment of demand for civic education as a public good of the nonmarket services sector. The assessment is based on the application of various research methods: desk research (analysis of publications, reviews, reports), qualitative research (focus groups, in-depth interviews), quantitative research (sociological survey). In this article is carried out the analysis of scientific publications devoted to the analysis of demand for public goods, and the actual aspects of researches are allocated. The object of research is the process of forming and meeting the demand for civic education. For analysis of the market of educational needs was conducted a comparison of the population's requests for educational services and data of the number of activities carried out by providers of educational services. The result of research is the proof of hypotheses about low demand for civic education in the conditions of absence of high level of civic competence and in the conditions of mismatch of supply and demand in the field of civic education. Regarding various areas of civic education, the results of the analysis showed that the greatest demand is in creative studios, and this demand is quite satisfied. Next in the ranking are educational services in the field of leadership and personal development, but these needs are satisfied with less than half. The rest of the needs are unmet, and at the same time we see that due to the actions of service providers, the interest of citizens in political or civic education is approaching to satisfaction level. At the same time, low satisfaction of the needs in financial literacy, critical thinking, and media literacy indicates the necessity to develop and offer educational services of this type. Demand for family psychology, relationship psychology, public speaking and business education is also unmet. The conclusions of the study formulate proposals for matching demand and supply for civic education through non-market mechanisms. In particular, it is justified the need for the formation of effective demand from local authorities and local public institutions (local schools, universities, businesses, NGOs).

FAMILY FACTORS OF AUTONOMY DEVELOPMENT AND SEPARATION PROCESSES IN ADOLESCENCE

Relevance. Adolescence is an important stage in human life. It offers a lot of possibilities for personal development, but it also presents serious challenges, such as development of autonomy, the search for individuality. Parent-child relationships are generally considered a factor of the development of adolescent’s autonomy. Family psychology identifies adolescence as basis for a separate stage in the family life cycle. In this regard, it seems important to investigate the processes of separation and development of the autonomy of adolescents not only in parent-child relations, but in a wider family context. Objective. The goal of the research is to study the family factors of autonomy and separation processes development in adolescence. Method and participants. 51 adolescents in age from 13 to 18 years took part in the study. The following methods were used: questionnaires on autonomy and separation processes, family and child-parent relations, “Family Sociogram”, the incomplete sentences method. Main results. The main content of the ideas about independence and autonomy in adolescents is shown: adolescents determine their autonomy primarily through the behavioral aspect and alienation. Emotional differentiation goes difficult, and adolescents are often susceptible to emotional influence in relationships with significant people. Fear of losing sovereignty is negatively associated with family cohesion, expressiveness, and independence of family members. Neurotic denial of dependence on others is negatively associated with family cohesion, independence of family members, and transparency of family rules. Lack of acceptance of the adolescent, excessive emotional distancing and lack of consent and cooperation in the family is negatively connected with autonomy development and separation of adolescents. Conclusions. It is necessary to consider the development of autonomy and separation processes in adolescence in the context of family relations. Negative family factors are connected with separation difficulties and lack of autonomy in adolescence.

Features of the value-meaning sphere of parents raising children with autism spectrum disorders

The paper is devoted to the study of the meaning sphere of parents raising children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The relevance of the study is explained by the fact that the birth of a sick child radically changes the family’s life, breaking the existing system of values, life-meaning orientations. The psychological support of such families, providing them with the psychological assistance should begin with the search for new life meanings, the adoption of new values. The article describes the results of a study of changes in the value meaning sphere of parents raising children with serious disabilities. The article contains an analysis of domestic and foreign studies of family psychology, issues of early childhood autism. There are the description of empirical data from the study of changes in the life-meaning orientations of parents after the birth of a child with ASD, presentation of the results of a comparative analysis of life-meaning orientations and values for both group of parents. As a result, possible ways of helping parents raising a child with autistic symptoms were outlined.

MEMILIH CALON PASANGAN SUAMI-ISTRI DALAM PERKAWINAN ISLAM

Marriage guidance in Islam starts with an explanation of how to choose a potential mate before knitting a marriage bond. Many people observe that the guidance given by Islam is only oriented to the fulfillment of the spiritual aspects and ignores the material aspects which are the means of human life, especially the fulfillment of mental or psychological aspects. This study seeks to analyze the criteria for choosing prospective marriage partners in Islam through the perspective of the psychology of Islamic families. As a new theory, Islamic family psychology has considerable urgency in interpreting the Shari'a rules on family law in a more humane manner, and at the same time to identify mental phenomena that affect the achievement of the objectives of Islamic marriage law. The results of this study state that from a psychological perspective, criteria for choosing a potential partner in an Islamic marriage are still quite relevant and truly influence one's personality in the course of a married life. Actualization of the candidates to choose the candidate pair includes judgments: (1) material aspects in the form of wealth ma&gt; liyyah), social status (h {asabiyyah), beauty or good looks (jasadiyyah); (2) spiritual aspects in the form of a prospective partner's religion; and (3) aspects of comparability or kafa&gt;, especially the perspective and life mission of the prospective spouse.

"Latent profiles of postdivorce parenting time, conflict, and quality: Children's adjustment associations,": Correction to Elam et al. (2019).

Reports an error in "Latent profiles of postdivorce parenting time, conflict, and quality: Children's adjustment associations" by Kit K. Elam, Irwin Sandler, Sharlene A. Wolchik, Jenn-Yun Tein and Adam Rogers (Journal of Family Psychology, 2019[Aug], Vol 33[5], 499-510). In the article, the following funding information was missing from the author note: "This research was supported by a grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (R01DAO26874-01A1). The work of Sharlene A. Wolchik was supported by a grant from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (R01HD094334-01)." (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2019-06342-001.) Parenting time, interparental conflict, and the quality of parenting a child experiences in the postdivorce family environment have complex relations with child adjustment outcomes. Using person-centered latent profile analyses, the present study examined (a) separate profiles of mothers' (N = 472) and fathers' (N = 353) parenting time, interparental conflict, and quality of parenting following divorce; and (b) associations of mother and father profiles with concurrent child outcomes (48% female, 3- to 18-years-old) as well as child outcomes 3 and 10 months later. Mother and father profiles were primarily differentiated by levels of parenting time and quality of parenting, respectively. Mother and father profiles defined by greater parenting time and lower quality parenting were associated with the poorest child outcomes.

"Autonomy support in toddlerhood: Similarities and contrasts between mothers and fathers": Correction to Hughes, Lindberg, and Devine (2018).

Reports an error in "Autonomy support in toddlerhood: Similarities and contrasts between mothers and fathers" by Claire Hughes, Anja Lindberg and Rory T. Devine (Journal of Family Psychology, 2018[Oct], Vol 32[7], 915-925). In the article, the work was originally published under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License in which the authors were identified as retaining copyright. However, this designation was subsequently changed. Thus, the copyright line was amended, and a watermark was added, to identify the American Psychological Association as the copyright holder, and the Creative Commons attribution was removed from the author note. The online version of this article has been corrected. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2018-53904-001.) Infant exploration often hinges on parental autonomy support (i.e., parental behaviors that support children's goals, interests, and choices), a construct that is widely applied in family studies of school-age children and adolescents but less studied in infants and toddlers. Notable gaps concern the equivalence, similarities, and contrasts between mothers' and fathers' autonomy support and the correlates of individual differences in autonomy support. To address these underresearched topics, we conducted parallel home-based structured play observations of 195 infants (Mage = 14.42 months, SD = .59) in dyadic interaction with mothers and fathers. Confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated measurement invariance across parent gender, enabling comparisons that revealed significantly moderately higher levels of autonomy support in mothers than in fathers. Individual differences in autonomy support were unrelated to either parental personality or child temperament, highlighting the potential importance of dyadic characteristics. Consistent with this view, whereas maternal autonomy support did not differ by child gender, fathers with sons displayed less autonomy support than did fathers with daughters.
