“…Family-of-origin father closeness was also not associated with levels of paternal involvement in this study. This finding is inconsistent with both the compensating hypothesis, which suggests that fathers compensate for poor family-of-origin relationships by forming close relationships with their children, and the modeling hypothesis, which suggests that fathers model the relationship they had with their fathers with their children (Floyd & Morman, 2000). Although the majority of nonresidential.…”

This study examined the factors associated with higher levels of paternal involvement among nonresidential. Black fathers from low-income neighborhoods. Participants were 110 fathers of children up to the age of 10. Participants completed psychometrically sound measures of social support, religiosity, family-of-odgin father closeness, coparenting relationship quality, psychological well-being, conviction history since the birth of the child, and paternal involvement. A simultaneous multiple regression indicated that better psychological well-being and coparenting relationship quality and lower conviction rates since the birth of the child were associated significantly with higher levels of paternal involvement when controlling for sociodemographic variables. Results of a mediational analysis revealed that coparenting relationship quality mediated the relationship of both psychological well-being and paternal involvement and conviction history since the birth of the child and paternal involvement. Results of a hierarchical regression showed that social support moderated the relationship between psychological well-being and paternal involvement when controlling for statistically relevant sociodemographic variables. This study provided evidence that several father and coparental factors were related to high levels of paternal involvement and illustrated the importance of examining disadvantaged fathers' strengths as targets for future interventions. Psychologists, social workers, program directors, and other individuals working with nonresidential, Black fathers from low-income neighborhoods should educate their clients on the factors associated with higher levels of paternal involvement as well as provide necessary resources to facilitate father involvement with children.

“…The modeling and compensation hypotheses have been tested in a number of parent-child relationships including father-son relationships [23]. The modeling hypothesis suggests individuals will enact behaviors which they experienced from their parents as a child when they become parents themselves.…”

Abstract:Objective:The aim of this study on the transition to grandparenthood is to capture grandparents' perspectives on their relationship and communication with their adult children when their adult children was expecting their first child or became new parents within the past year. More specifically, the study aimed to uncover 1) Intergenerational issues identified by grandparents during the transition to grandparenthood and 2) Factors influencing grandparents' communication and relationships with their adult children during this time of family transition. Method:Participants were 19 grandparents in the U.S., 15 grandmothers and 4 grandfathers who were about to welcome the first child of one of their children (N = 8), who had welcomed the first child of one of their children in the past year (N = 10), or who had both a child who was expecting and a child who had welcomed their first child within the past year (N = 1). Qualitative data analysis was conducted on transcripts from the grandparent interviews utilizing the constant comparative technique and thematic analysis to identify categories and emergent themes. Results:Grandparent participants shared their perspectives on the intergenerational transmission of parenting practices, reflected on changes in parental roles over time, and identified communication facilitator and barriers during this time of transition. These categories and emergent themes are explicated in the results section along with supporting excerpts from grandparent interviews. Conclusion:The transition to grandparenthood impacts communication and relationships between grandparents and their adult children by shaping the content, frequency, and medium of communication. Understanding grandparents' perspectives on this time of transition adds to existing research on families focused mainly on the adult child's perspective.

This study tested the degree to which self-disclosure mediates the effects of gender orientation and homophobia on relational satisfaction, closeness, and commitment in men's same-sex friendships. Participants included 211 men from the southwest region of the US, who reported on either geographically close (n ¼ 107) or long distance same-sex friendships (n ¼ 104). Results indicated that self-disclosure mediates the positive effect of femininity on satisfaction, closeness, and commitment in men's same-sex friendships. Self-disclosure also mediates the negative, indirect effects of homophobia on all three relational outcomes. Tests of structural invariance provided no evidence to suggest that the indirect effects of femininity and homophobia on all three relational outcomes vary as a function of geographic distance.
