Relationship between Parenting Style and Peer Relationships during Early Adolescence: The Mediating Role of Parental Mentalizing

Although previous research has suggested that parenting style affects children’s peer relationships, the influential mechanism remains a subject of debate. We propose that parental mentalizing plays a crucial role in parenting style and peer relationships. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the relationships between family parenting styles, parental mentalizing, and peer relationships during early adolescence. In this study, 379 primary school students (Mean age = 12.17 years, SD = 0.92) and their parents were assessed using the Family Parenting Style Scale, Peer Relationship Satisfaction Scale, and a distorted mentalizing task. The results showed a mediating effect of parental mentalizing between parenting style and peer relationships. For fathers, a favorable parenting style affects children’s peer relationships through mentalizing. Among mothers, interference, protection, and punishment affect their children’s peer relationships through mentalizing. In conclusion, parenting style affects peer relationships through parental mentalizing. Fathers’/mothers’ parenting style and parental mentalizing affect their children’s peer relationships differently.

Stability and change in maternal wellbeing and illbeing from pregnancy to three years postpartum

PurposeMotherhood affects women’s mental health, encompassing aspects of both wellbeing and illbeing. This study investigated stability and change in wellbeing (i.e., relationship satisfaction and positive affect) and illbeing (i.e., depressive and anxiety symptoms) from pregnancy to three years postpartum. We further investigated the mutual and dynamic relations between these constructs over time and the role of genetic propensities in their time-invariant stability.Data and methodsThis four-wave longitudinal study included 83,124 women from the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) linked to the Medical Birth Registry of Norway. Data were collected during pregnancy (30 weeks) and at 6, 18 and 36 months postpartum. Wellbeing and illbeing were based on the Relationship Satisfaction Scale, the Differential Emotions Scale and Hopkins Symptoms Checklist-8. Genetics were measured by the wellbeing spectrum polygenic index. Analyses were based on random intercept cross-lagged panel models using R.ResultsAll four outcomes showed high stability and were mutually interconnected over time, with abundant cross-lagged predictions. The period of greatest instability was from pregnancy to 6 months postpartum, followed by increasing stability. Prenatal relationship satisfaction played a crucial role in maternal mental health postpartum. Women’s genetic propensity to wellbeing contributed to time-invariant stability of all four constructs.ConclusionUnderstanding the mutual relationship between different aspects of wellbeing and illbeing allows for identifying potential targets for health promotion interventions. Time-invariant stability was partially explained by genetics. Maternal wellbeing and illbeing develop in an interdependent way from pregnancy to 36 months postpartum.

The Relationship Between Object Relations and Relationship Satisfaction, Marital Adjustment, and Sexual Satisfaction: The Mediating Role of Narcissistic and Borderline Personality Traits

The aim of this study was to elucidate the psychological dynamics of marital relationships, which are among the most significant structures of society. The purpose of research was to examine the mediating roles of borderline and narcissistic personality traits in the relationship between object relations and marital adjustment, relationship satisfaction, and sexual satisfaction. The study group consisted of adult individuals aged 18 and older. Of the total 809 participants, 407 (50.3%) are female and 402 (49.7%) are male, all of whom are married. 320 participants are in the 18-30 age range, 318 are in the 31-45 age range, and 171 are 45 years old and above. Marriage Adjustment Scale, Relationship Satisfaction Scale (RSS), Golombok-Rust Sexual Satisfaction Scale (GRSS) Female-Male Form, Bell Object Relations and Reality Testing Inventory (BORRTI), Borderline Personality Inventory, and Narcissistic Personality Inventory were used as data collection instruments in the study. The data were analyzed using SPSS 27 program. Pearson Correlation Test and Process Macro 4.2 analysis methods were used. According to the research findings, a negative relationship was found between object relations and relationship satisfaction, marital adjustment, and sexual satisfaction. A positive relationship was identified between object relations and borderline and narcissistic personality traits. Furthermore, negative relationships were found between borderline and narcissistic personality traits and marital adjustment, sexual satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction. Finally, the mediation analyses conducted within the framework of the main purpose of the research, determined that object relations significantly predicted relationship satisfaction, sexual satisfaction, and marital adjustment, borderline and narcissistic personality traits partially mediated this relationship. Thus, the proposed model was supported.

The mediating role of social media addiction and phubbing in basic psychological needs in relationships and relationship satisfaction.

This study aimed to examine the mediating role of phubbing and social media addiction in the correlation between satisfaction levels of basic psychological needs in romantic relationships and relationship satisfaction. The participants were 958 students from various universities in Türkiye. The research utilized demographic information form for personal information of the participants, the Satisfaction of Basic Psychological Needs in Romantic Relationships Scale, the Generic Scale of Phubbing, the Social Media Addiction Scale-Adult Form, and the Relationship Satisfaction Scale. It was concluded in the research that social media addiction and phubbing had a mediating role in the correlation between the needs for love/belonging β = 0.05, power β = 0.03, and freedom β = -0.08 and the relationship satisfaction. The bootstrapping method performed in the study showed that indirect effect of the need for fun on the relationship satisfaction was significant, but in the Sobel test, social media addiction and phubbing was not found to have a mediating role in this correlation (p > 0.05). It was concluded that phubbing had a mediating role for all needs other than the need for fun in the correlation between satisfaction of basic psychological needs in romantic relationships and social media addiction. Finally, social media addiction was found to have a mediating role in the correlation between phubbing and relationship satisfaction. These findings were discussed in line with the literature. As shown by the findings, it was observed that satisfaction of basic psychological needs in romantic relationships affected the relationship satisfaction, and social media addiction and phubbing had a mediating role in that correlation.

Structural Modeling of the Relationships Between Personal Attractiveness, Interpersonal Relationships, and Relationship Satisfaction Among Both Sexes of Saudis in the City of Makkah

The study aimed to reveal statistically significant differences in personal attractiveness, interpersonal relationships, and relationship satisfaction among both sexes in Mecca according to the gender variable, and to determine the optimal model for the relationship between personal attractiveness variables, interpersonal relationships, and relationship satisfaction among married couples (male-female) in Mecca. The research sample of 270 Saudis was selected in a stratified random manner. The descriptive approach, both its correlational and analytical aspects, was used. The results of the research showed that there were differences between the sexes on the personal attractiveness scale, the interpersonal relations scale, and the relationship satisfaction scale in favor of males. While there are no differences between the sexes on the two dimensions of personal attractiveness (social attractiveness - task attractiveness), there are also no differences between the sexes in the measure of interpersonal relations on the two dimensions (self-disclosure - kindness). A number of matching indicators were also extracted, where the values reflect... Approaching 1 or more than 0.90 for each of the indicators (NFI, GFI, CFI, TLI, AGFI) is good evidence of the extent to which the data matches the default model. The results showed that the fit indicators did not fall into the ideal range, so the Modification Indices were referred to (Modification indicators) provided by AMOS software to improve the virtual model.

Gender-Based Differential Item Function for the Positive and Negative Semantic Dimensions of the Relationship Satisfaction Scale with Item Response Theory.

Relationship satisfaction is at the core of a robust social life and is essential to mental health. The positive and negative semantic dimensions of the relationship satisfaction (PN-SMD) scale is considered in the field of relationship studies to be a reliable tool for assessing the quality of a person's interpersonal relationships. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the PN-SMD scale by conducting multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) and differential item functioning (DIF) analyses, both of which are emerging assessment methods that focus on individual items. We recruited 511 Chinese undergraduate students for this study. Construct validity, internal consistency, and concurrent validity were assessed, and MIRT and DIF analyses were conducted. Five of the 14 items were found to have gender-based DIF traits, affecting the scale's construct validity. A revised nine-item scale (DIF items excluded) had a significantly better model fit and demonstrated comparable concurrent validity to the original scale. The implications of our results and future research directions are discussed.

대학생의 개별성-관계성의 하위집단에 따른 갈등해결전략이 이성 관계 만족도에 미치는 영향

Objectives This study aimed to examine subgroups formed according to the level of individuality-relatedness development of college students, identify the characteristics of conflict resolution strategies for each group, and confirm the effect of individuality-relatedness on romanticl relationship satisfaction focusing on the role positive- negative conflict management strategies.
 Methods The three measures were employed: (a) Individuality - Relatedness scale, (b) Managing Affect and Differences scale, (c) Romantic relationship satisfaction scale. The subgroup according to the level of individualityrelationship development was identified through cluster analysis, and the effect of individuality-relationship on the opposite-sex relationship was confirmed using a structural equation model.
 Results Results indicated, first, that participants were categorized as four clusters: Undeveloped group of individuality and relatedness, Developed group of individuality and relatedness, Partially developed group of relatedness, Partially developed group of individuality. Second, depending on individuality - relatedness each level, different types of conflict management strategies were used and romantic relationship satisfaction was significantly different between four groups. Third, conflict management strategies had mediating effect on the relationship between individuality - relatedness and romantic relationship satisfaction. These findings suggest that relatedness increase use of positive conflict management strategies, reduce use of negative conflict management strategies and have no influence on romantic relationship satisfaction. Meanwhile, individuality enhances positive conflict management strategies and has a negative effect on romantic relationship satisfaction. Lastly, this study ends with discussion of implications, limitations and suggestions.
 Conclusions This study suggest that if people with unbalanced individuality and relatedness development come to the counseling center, they can promote the growth of undeveloped individuality·relatedness and help to maintain healthy relationships by intervening their conflict resolution strategies to increase romantic relationship satisfaction.

The relationship between pregnant women and their spouses' belief in sexual myths during pregnancy, relationship satisfaction and sexual satisfaction

Aim: Pregnancy, birth and post-partum period is an important process in which many physiological, psychological and social changes are experienced by mothers and fathers. Pregnancy is also one of the periods when sexuality is most affected, and sexual dysfunctions are common during this period. The aim of this study is to investigate the sexuality and sexual myths of pregnant women and their partners.
 Material and Method: This research was conducted in an university hospital in Turkey with a total of 128 participants, 77 pregnant women and 51 spouses who agreed to participate.
 Results: There was a statistically significant relationship in terms of working status, having a history of miscarriage in the family, and sexual knowledge adequacy before marriage. Men's employment rate and pre-marital sexual knowledge adequacy status were higher than women. A statistically significant difference has been achieved in the "Sexuality/Attractivess" sub-dimension in Sexual Myths During Pregnancy Scale (SMDPS) and the "Avoidance" and "Communication" sub-dimensions in Glombock - Rust sexual satisfaction Scale (GRSSS). An inverse low correlation between sexual myths during pregnancy and GRSSS in men and low-level lineer relationship between GRSSS and Relationship Satisfaction Scale(RSSS) scores in women are detected.
 Conclusions: Exaggerated, false beliefs that are considered true but not actually related to sexuality, sexual myths negatively affect the relationship of couples. The prevalence of sexual myths during pregnancy will decrease and the impact on the quality of sexual life during pregnancy will be minimized by obtaining consultancy services.

Psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Dyadic-Familial Relationship Satisfaction Scale

The Dyadic-Familial Relationship Satisfaction Scale (DFRSS) is a valid and reliable instrument to assess dyadic and familial dimensions of relationship satisfaction in cohabitant couples with children. The main goal of this research was to validate the Spanish version of the DFRSS (Sp-DFRSS) following the guidelines for cross-cultural adaptations. Three studies were conducted. In Study 1 (n = 151), an exploratory factor analysis using principal axis factoring and oblimin rotation was performed to examine the factor structure of the Sp-DFRSS. In Study 2 (n = 500), a confirmatory factor analysis showed that a two factor model (dyadic and familial) provided the best fit to the data. In Study 3 (n = 100), we examined relationship satisfaction using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model. The Sp-DFRSS as a whole and its subscales presented adequate reliability in the three studies, with Cronbach’s alphas ranging from 0.87 to 0.95. Moreover, convergent and divergent validity of the Sp-DFRSS was analyzed in Studies 1, 2 and 3, and significant correlations between the Sp-DFRSS’ subscales, life satisfaction, negative and positive affect, attachment (anxiety and avoidance), and psychological well-being were found. The Sp-DFRSS has good psychometric properties in terms of validity and reliability, so that it may be used by the Spanish-speaking scientific community to measure relationship satisfaction.

What Matters in a Relationship—Age, Sexual Satisfaction, Relationship Length, and Interpersonal Closeness as Predictors of Relationship Satisfaction in Young Adults

Relationship satisfaction is one of the key elements affecting overall life satisfaction. This study aimed to identify significant predictors of relationship satisfaction in young adults in a romantic relationship. The study was questionnaire-based, involving 237 young adults who were currently in a relationship. Three self-rating scales were used: CSI-32 Relationship Satisfaction Scale, Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire, and Unidimensional Relationship Closeness Scale. Sexual satisfaction proved to be a main predictor of relationship satisfaction in both sexes. For women, interpersonal closeness was additionally important, with a sense of closeness found to be even more important than sexual satisfaction for women cohabiting with their partners. Cohabiting people are generally more satisfied with their relationship, and a higher level of closeness and applied caresses can additionally be observed in them. In contrast, the relationship length appeared to matter only for men living with their partner: they were more satisfied with the relationship at the beginning of the relationship, and then their level of satisfaction declined. Relationship satisfaction in young adults appears to be determined by other factors depending on gender and cohabitation status. Nevertheless, at this age, sexual satisfaction proves to be one of the most critical factors for a sense of relationship satisfaction.

Revision Study of the Romantic Relationship Assessment Scale (RRAS-RF)

The present study includes a revision of the Romantic Relationship Assessment Scale (RRAS; Kılınçer and Tuzgöl Dost, 2013). Personal Information Form, RRAS, and Relationship Satisfaction Scale (RSS) were used as data collection tools. Explanatory and confirmatory factor analyzes were performed on the RRAS. As a result of exploratory factor analysis (EFA), a structure consisting of 28 items and five sub-dimensions was obtained. When the first and second-level CFA results are evaluated together, it was seen that five sub-dimensions consisting of 28 items were supported. In order to provide evidence for the validity of the scale, its relationship with the RSS was examined. The results revealed a negative and statistically significant correlation between the revised form of RRAS and RSS. In addition, the reliability of the scale was examined in terms of internal consistency, and the Cronbach Alpha coefficient values of the dimensions were found to vary between .78 and .92.

Relationship Satisfaction in Young Couples: Evidence for Validity of Short Scale Combining CFA and IRT

This study aimed to validate a short relationship satisfaction scale (RAS) in a sample of young people and adults in the Lima metropolitan area. There were a total of 806 participants aged between 18 and 30 years: 622 females (77.20%) and 184 males (22.80%). Every participant was currently in a love relationship of a minimum of three months. The methodologies of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Item Response Theory (IRT) were combined to determine the structure and assess the reliability of the instrument. The Omega coefficient (ω) was used from CFA, while the test information function and empirical reliability (rxx ) were used from IRT. The results showed that the RAS could be interpreted as a one-dimensional scale when eliminating the items 4–7 and joining the items 1–2. This model shows high goodness of fit from a CFA-perspective. A similar situation occurs in IRT, except that error covariance is not considered. Nevertheless, assuming the elimination of items 4–7 is still a good option. The reliability in both CFA (ω = .838) and IRT (rxx = .862) was satisfactory. The evidence of relationship with other variable showed inverse and big relationship with violent spells of tension and difficulty.

The Mediation Role of an Individual's and Couple's Psychological Factors, Including Parenting in the Prediction of Relational and Marital Satisfaction.

The goal of this study was to widen the scope of the social component of family sustainability. The fundamental goal of this non-experimental, quantitative study was to look at the links between parenting correlates, personality characteristics, marital satisfaction, and well-being in couples, as well as to construct explanatory prediction models for relational and marital satisfaction. The study focused on the effects of personality traits, parental self-efficacy, and attachment to marital and relational satisfaction. The test instruments applied were: the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised, Marital Adjustment Test, Couple Satisfaction Index, Relationship Satisfaction Scale, Family Distress Index, Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (adapted to the role of a parent), Mowen’s Personality Scale, and demographic data. A total of 238 Romanians answered the online survey, recruited based on a convenience sampling method. Participants in this research were individuals who were both married and had at least one child. The main findings show that agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, anxious and avoidant attachment, and marital adjustment predict the satisfaction in the relationship, and openness partially mediates the association between marital adjustment and relationship satisfaction. Parental self-efficacy appears to influence the association between relationship satisfaction and marital satisfaction. An increased parental self-efficacy score predicts an increased relationship satisfaction and marital satisfaction. The higher the parental self-efficacy, the higher the satisfaction in the relationship, which leads to an increase in satisfaction in the couple. These results show that marital adjustment and adaptation are related to relational satisfaction, and these relationship are partially mediated by an individual’s openness. Despite some limitations, the current study significantly contributes to couples therapies and interventions in terms of physical and mental health, and the study provides insight into the experiences and perspectives of married individuals with children in Romania.

Feasibility of an External Erectile Prosthesis for Transgender Men Who have Undergone Phalloplasty.

IntroductionTransgender men interested in achieving penetration after phalloplasty are currently limited to internal devices and makeshift supports. More options are needed to support sexual penetration after phalloplasty.AimThis study was designed to assess the feasibility of an external erectile prosthesis (the Elator) for transgender men who have undergone phalloplasty and wish to use their neophallus for sexual penetration, assess how the device affected the sexual experiences of men and their partners, and identify any side effects and concerns.MethodsTransgender men and their partners were provided with an erectile device to use for one month. They were surveyed at 4 time points: enrollment, measurement, receipt, and after using the device, using a combination of pre-existing and device-specific measures.Main Outcome MeasureThe primary outcome was whether men found it feasible to use an external penile prosthesis for sexual penetration after phalloplasty – defined as interest in, and willingness to, use the device more than once over the study period; intention to continue using the device on the Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS); and no decrease in relationship satisfaction on the Gay and Lesbian Relationship Satisfaction Scale (GLRSS). The secondary outcome was an increase in sexual or relationship satisfaction with use of the device, defined as a statistically significant increase on either the Quality of Sexual Experience Scale (QSE) or the GLRSS.ResultsFifteen couples enrolled in the pilot study. Of the 10 who completed the study, only 3 found device use feasible and endorsed strongly positive experiences, while the remaining 7 found it unusable. There were no changes in QSE or GLRSS scores. Most device issues were related to proper fit.ConclusionThere is a great deal of interest in non-surgical options for achieving penetration after phalloplasty. The tested external erectile device can work well, but its utility is limited to individuals with very specific post-phalloplasty anatomy. Most individuals and couples found the device unsuitable for the neophallus and/or that it could not be used comfortably.Boskey ER, Jolly D, Mehra G, et al.

Marital communication and relationship satisfaction - The differential role of gender patterns

The aim of the study was to examine whether gender schemas differentiate marital communication and relationship satisfaction. Most analyses are conducted with reference to biological sex. Psychological gender distinguishes the construct of gender differences. The study involved 400 people (200 women and 200 men) who were married, economically active and had at least one child. The respondents completed the Marital Communication Questionnaire (KKM), the Masculinity and Femininity Scale (SMiK) and the Relationship Satisfaction Scale. The results obtained indicate a differential role of gender schemas in terms of preferred conversational styles. Psychological gender does not affect relationship satisfaction. Furthermore, the gender patterns evident in the four psychological gender types differentiate the relationship of spouses' communication with their ratings of relationship satisfaction. To conclude, including the construct of psychological gender in the analyses is important from the point of view of research as well as practice. Firstly, it deepens knowledge on relationship satisfaction and communication in marriage, secondly, the knowledge gained may find practical application e.g. in marriage therapy.

The predictive effect of self-compassion on relationship satisfaction and conflict resolution styles in romantic relationships in nursing students.

People who are compassionate to both themselves and others want to alleviate their experiences of pain and those of others. This study aims to evaluate the predictive effect of self-compassion on relationship satisfaction and conflict resolution styles in romantic relationships in nursing students. The sample of this study consists of 356 nursing students. The data are collected by using the Self-Compassion Scale, the Conflict Resolution Styles Scale in Romantic Relationships, and the Relationship Satisfaction Scale. A linear regression model is used to test the predictive effect of self-compassion on relationship satisfaction and conflict resolution styles in nursing students. Mean age of the participant is 20.70 ± 1.90, 68.5% (n = 244) of the nursing students are female, and 33.2% of them (n = 211) are male. Self-compassion is found to be a significant predictor of both relationship satisfaction and conflict resolution styles (positive conflict resolution, negative conflict resolution, and retreat) in romantic relationships (p < .05). Self-compassion is an important factor in relationship satisfaction and conflict resolution. These results of the study can be used to address conflict resolution problems in romantic relationships and further research.
