“…Tests of longitudinal measurement invariance of the PIPPS were conducted between child sex. Results supported configural invariance and partial metric, scalar, and error variance invariance of the PIPPS across sex and time, χ 2 (111) = 177.16, p < .001; CFI = .98; RMSEA = .018, 90% CI [.013, .023] (for details, see Yu, 2023). In addition, configural, metric, and scalar invariance of the family SES was established across child sex.…”

“…Fathers are also known to attend to their child’s social adjustment outside the family more than mothers do (H. Y. Cho & Ryu, 2023), at least based on the same data as the present study (Yu, 2023). This study aims to advance the understanding of whether parent–child transactional processes differ depending on sex of parent and child.…”

“…This disparity could stem from their engagement in different activities or interactions with their children, such as feeding and play (H. Y. Cho & Ryu, 2023; Vallotton et al, 2016; Yu, 2023). Further research involving both mothers and fathers is necessary to conduct in-depth comparisons of the effects of child-to-mother and child-to-father relationships across various developmental periods and cultural contexts.…”

“…While a small body of work has demonstrated interplay between maternal depressive symptoms and child externalizing behaviors (Choe et al, 2014; Shaw et al, 2016), little is yet known about maternal psychological distress and its bidirectional association with peer social competence of children. Likewise, there is even much less research on fathers’ psychological distress in transactional relation to children’s peer-related social competence, although there is some evidence of both father- and child-driven effects in associations between fathering and child social competence (Ding et al, 2020; Yu, 2023). This study attempts to fill a void in the literature by delving into a potential spiral of maternal/paternal psychological distress and children’s peer social competence measured at three timepoints.…”

This study explores the dyadic longitudinal interplay among parents' psychological distress, family cohesion, children's internalizing/externalizing behaviors, and peer-related social competence within individual and dyadic relationships. Data came from a nationally representative longitudinal cohort study of children in South Korea. The analyses included 1,779 families across three annual timepoints. Children were 4 years old (48.6% girls) and the mean ages of mothers and fathers were 34.8 and 37.3 years, respectively, at baseline. At each assessment point, mothers completed questionnaires regarding their psychological distress, cohesion, and their child's internalizing/externalizing behaviors, while fathers provided information on their psychological distress and family cohesion. Preschool teachers also evaluated children's peer social competence at each measurement timepoint. The results revealed bidirectional associations between maternal ratings of psychological distress and children's internalizing/externalizing behaviors as well as between maternal ratings of cohesion and children's internalizing/externalizing behaviors. Paternal ratings of psychological distress were longitudinally related to maternal ratings of children's internalizing behaviors. Teacher ratings of children's peer social competence were associated with maternal ratings of internalizing/ externalizing behaviors and paternal ratings of psychological distress and cohesion. Teacher ratings of peer social competence and maternal ratings of internalizing and externalizing behaviors were reciprocally associated. Maternal and paternal ratings of psychological distress and cohesion were prospectively and bidirectionally associated. The findings demonstrate prospective transactions among family subsystems, some of which were moderated by child sex, while highlighting the importance of obtaining data on each family member and considering interactive effects of both parent and child sex in this line of inquiry.

This study examined longitudinal dyadic and within‐partner associations among self‐esteem, subjective happiness, and marital conflict in married couples, with a possible moderating role of wives' employment status. Data were analyzed from the Panel Study on Korean Children, nationwide longitudinal data. The study sample included 1668 married couples (N = 3336 participants) where both partners provided separate data annually across three waves. Husbands' and wives' mean ages at T1 were 39.3 and 36.8 years, respectively. For both partners, self‐esteem and subjective happiness were related bidirectionally at an individual level. Wives' marital conflict was linked to husbands' subsequent marital conflict and vice versa. Wives played a greater role in their husbands’ self‐esteem than vice versa. Findings suggest that wives tend to be their husband's substantial source of perceived psychological well‐being than the reverse; however, the benefit of psychological well‐being is likely to be lower for husbands of stay‐at‐home wives.
