“…The results indicated that children's gender and age as well as mothers' age and education status did not show between-group differences in maternal rejection, but mothers' employment and economic statuses did. This is consistent with the results of prior studies that demonstrated environmental influences such as financial instability in the family, parental age, and ethnicity as the most important predictors of harsh parenting strategies (Galovan et al, 2013;Y. Y. Lee, 2013;McGroder, 2000).…”

Maternal rejection may be associated with individual child characteristics. This relationship may vary across cultures. This study aimed to identify group differences in maternal rejection as well as child characteristics. We also explored the moderating role of culture in influencing the relations between child characteristics and maternal rejection. In total, 153 mothers with a child aged 3 to 6 years participated in the survey. Participants were from the East Coast of the United States ( N = 48); Seoul, Korea ( N = 65); and Japan (Tokyo and Saitama) ( N = 40). American mothers perceived their children to be more active and extroverted than did Korean mothers, who perceived their children to be better at controlling their behavior than American and Japanese mothers. American mothers reported significantly higher levels of their children’s behavior problems than Korean and Japanese mothers. It was observed that culture moderated the relations between child factors (e.g., effortful control and internalizing problems) and maternal rejection. These findings suggest that culture influences the association between child characteristics (temperament and behavior) and maternal rejection.

“…Adolescent mothers also appear to be at greater risk for psychological distress before teenage childbearing and over the life course (Mollborn and Morningstar 2009; Shaw et al 2006). In terms of parenting and child outcomes, some studies suggest that teenage mothers exhibit less optimal parenting practices relative to older mothers (Lee 2013; Lewin et al 2013) and that adolescent children of teenage mothers are more likely to have behavior and substance use problems (Harden et al 2007; Shaw et al 2006). There is also evidence that growing up in a single parent family, more generally, is a risk factor for adolescent drinking (Brown and Rinelli 2010; Oman et al 2007).…”

Alcohol is the most commonly used substance among adolescents in the United States, and adolescent drinking is associated with various health risk behaviors. Given the prevalence and consequences of adolescent drinking, understanding family factors that contribute to adolescent drinking is an important area for research. This study used three waves of data to evaluate a family stress model in which economic hardship is indirectly related to adolescent problem drinking through maternal psychological distress, parenting behaviors, and adolescent externalizing behaviors. Respondents included 300 mothers (71 % Black, 29 % White) and adolescents (51 % male) who were interviewed when adolescents were ages 10, 14, and 16. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized model and findings supported our hypothesized model. Economic hardship was positively related to maternal psychological distress. Maternal psychological distress was negatively associated with supportive parenting, which in turn was negatively associated with externalizing problems. Externalizing problems were positively associated with problem drinking. In support of our hypothesis regarding indirect effects, economic hardship was indirectly related to problem drinking through maternal psychological distress, parenting behaviors, and adolescent externalizing problems. The findings from this study highlight the role of family processes in adolescent problem drinking.

“…Despite this within-group ethnoracial diversity, family research continues to treat individuals who identify as Black 1 as belonging to a racially homogenous group (Hill et al, 2005). This homogenous view of Black families is exacerbated by overreliance on between-race comparisons that conflate racial/ethnic differences with socioeconomic status (i.e., White middle-class vs. Black low-income) and then portray caregiving practices within low-income, Black families as harsh, disorganized, and harmful (Lee, 2013; McWayne et al, 2017).…”

This study examined the relations between family demographics and positive parenting dimensions among urban-residing, low-income, Black caregiving dyads. Participants were 100 co-caregivers affiliated with a Head Start program and reporting on 50 preschool-aged children. Given that the parenting context for the caregiver pairs was not independent, multilevel dyadic analysis was employed to determine demographic predictors of positive parenting dimensions as measured by the emically derived Black Parenting Strengths in Context scale. Findings illuminated associations between combinations of adult/child characteristics (e.g., nativity, parental employment status, child gender) and the five dimensions of positive parenting measured (i.e., Fostering Connectedness; Racial and Cultural Pride; Involvement at School; Religious and Spiritual Practices; Behavioral Responsiveness and Guidance). Findings suggest implications for future research and theory involving Black family life—specifically the need to examine parenting by considering the combined effects of individual and shared family characteristics—and for designing parent support efforts that recognize family roles and heritages, and that leverage the strengths of and heterogeneity among the multiple caregivers in the lives of young children.
