“…Researchers and program providers also operate in silos when they suggest replacing existing interventions with their own approach. The most frequent argument against couple-strengthening interventions (Cohen, 2014;Williams, Cheadle, & Goosby, 2015) is that poor families would be better served by programs that elevate their economic circumstances. What is in question here is whether alleviating poverty through income supplementation or employment preparation will increase the quality of couple and family relationships.…”

In this article, we examine family‐based interventions designed to increase parenting effectiveness, fathers' positive involvement, and couple relationship quality, all with the goal of enhancing children's development. We focus on the fact that government funding policies, service delivery systems, and research evaluations of interventions to benefit children and families typically operate in separate silos. We provide a theoretical model, along with empirical evidence, to argue that a more integrated, collaborative perspective is likely to produce more optimal outcomes for parents and children than current siloed attempts to improve child and family well‐being. We discuss some of the obstacles to using evidence to guide policy decisions. We offer suggestions for policy makers and service providers in an attempt to describe a more integrated approach to supporting family well‐being, and to encourage the increased use of systematic data in making decisions about how to allocate scarce resources for family support.

“…The research on parenting stress and the family stress model suggests similar processes for both mothers and fathers (Williams, Cheadle, & Goosby, 2013). However, again, studies are somewhat inconsistent with research suggesting that, similar to mothers, fathers also are affected by parenting stress (Crnic & Ross, 2017).…”

This study examines whether fathers’ parental warmth and parenting stress were associated with behavior problems when children were approximately 36-months of age, beyond the influence of maternal behaviors. Study participants were 3,342 low-income fathers and mothers who participated in the Building Strong Families (BSF) study. Cross-sectional regression analyses indicated that for unmarried nonresidential families, fathers’ parental warmth and parenting stress were associated with child internalizing behavior problems; and fathers’ parenting stress only was marginally associated with child externalizing behavior problems. For consistently cohabiting residential fathers, only fathers’ parenting stress was marginally associated with child internalizing behavior problems. No associations of fathers’ parental warmth and parenting stress on either internalizing or externalizing behavior problems were observed in married families. Overall, study results suggest that fathers’ parental warmth and parenting stress may have a modest positive association on the development of child internalizing behavior problems particularly in vulnerable families (e.g., families in which fathers were nonresidential).

“…Studies indicate there may be differences in family processes for mothers and fathers as well as sons and daughters. For example, Williams, Cheadle, and Goosby (2015) found that economic pressure triggered by economic hardship was linked to increased levels of couple conflict, even more so in fathers than mothers. Similarly, the impact of financial stress on parenting behaviors was found to be greater for fathers than mothers (Ponnet, 2014).…”

The Influence of Economic Pressure on Emerging Adult Binge Drinking: Testing the Family Stress Model over Time

The Family Stress Model proposes that disrupted family processes may help explain the association between economic adversity and poor child developmental outcomes. In this study, the Family Stress Model was tested across adolescence to emerging adulthood. Participants included 451 rural White youth who participated with their parents from age 13-23 (52% female). The data were analyzed at five developmental time periods with separate pathways for mothers and fathers. The findings reveal for both parents that economic pressure at time 1 (age 13) led to parental emotional distress which was related to harsh couple interaction at time 2 (ages 14 and 15). This marital conflict was related to harsh parenting toward the adolescent (time 2), which was then directly associated with higher levels of offspring drinking when youth were in middle adolescence (age 16) at time 3. Alcohol use in middle adolescence was associated with binge drinking in late adolescence (age 18, time 4) into emerging adulthood (age 23, time 5). Drinking behaviors did not differ for boys and girls. The current results show that economic adversity has an effect on family processes which influence offspring binge drinking patterns in later adolescence that continue into emerging adulthood.
