“…We established that higher levels of resilience and higher frequency of using certain coping strategies implied a higher level of PTG. This finding adds to the current knowledge on the significance of these constructs in positive parenting in fathers coping with paternal demanding situations (e.g., Ziv et al, 2020). The study also indicates that coping strategies are a mediator of the relationship between resilience and PTG in fathers of children with ID.…”

ObjectiveWe sought to examine the correlation between resilience and posttraumatic growth (PTG) in fathers of children with intellectual disabilities (ID), exploring the mediating effect of coping. We also tested whether this mediation effect is moderated by sense of stress.BackgroundRaising a child with ID has been associated with both negative and positive aspects of psychological functioning. Little is known, however, about determinants of positive changes in fathers.MethodThe data for this study come from 106 Polish fathers of children with ID who completed a set of questionnaires measuring PTG, resilience, coping strategies, and sense of stress. The relations between variables using moderated mediation were tested.ResultsPTG correlates positively with resilience. Coping strategies (i.e., seeking emotional support and religion) are mediators of this relationship, and sense of stress is a moderator of this mediation. Higher levels of sense of stress increase the mediating role of these coping strategies, which translates into higher PTG in fathers with higher resilience.ConclusionThe relationship between resilience and PTG is complex, mediated by coping strategies, and differs in fathers with high and low stress.ImplicationsKnowledge on the importance of resilience and coping strategies for experiencing positive changes may be used by professionals working with fathers raising children with ID.

“…The latest research suggests that if parents feel more competent, they are more effective at managing their feelings and behaviors to support their children. 50 The mediation role of resilience represents the most relevant result of our study because this element could contribute to reducing one's fear of hypoglycemia, and the literature has demonstrated that this reduction has a positive effect on adherence and thus the management of childhood diabetes. 51,52 Parental competence and role balance could be considered protective factors, i.e., characteristics of a person or environment, increasing resilience, and modifying parents' response to stressors.…”

Fear of hypoglycemia for children with diabetes influences parental life and could increase parental stress. The present study aimed to explore the association between resilience, the self-perception of the parental role, and fear of hypoglycemia in mothers of children with type I diabetes (T1DM). MethodsNinety mothers (mean age: 44.20 years) of children with a T1DM diagnosis (mean age: 11.48 years) were recruited from an association for parents and completed an online self-report questionnaire packet that includes: Fear of Hypoglycemia Survey, Self-Perception of the Parental Role and Resilience Scale for Adults. Participants were recruited in 2017. Data collection lasted 10 months. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS statistical package, version 22, and the PROCESS macro program by Hayes. ResultsThe analysis of the mediation model shows that resilience assumes a mediational role in the relationships between the parental role and preoccupation with hypoglycemia. In particular, the mother's perceived competence and role balance can influence the development and increase of the mother's resilience, which in turn can allow a decrease in the mother's worry about the possible hypoglycemic episode of her child. ConclusionThe findings suggest that resilience is a significant topic to focus on in interventions designed to increase the self-perception of the parental role and reduce fear of hypoglycemia in mothers Cardinali P, Rapetti E, Migliorini L.

“…This is in line with prior research indicating that mothers tend to be more accepting or valuing of child negative emotions due to their greater valuing of emotion expression in general (e.g., Wong et al, 2008). Results of a more recent study indicate that fathers with greater interpersonal empathy appear to be more likely to engage in adaptive responses to child negative emotions (Ziv et al, 2020). Further, fathers holding more child-centered beliefs tend to be more sensitive and/or engaged with their infants (Goldberg et al, 2002).…”

“…On average, fathers, especially first-time fathers, often feel underprepared for parenthood and report lower parenting self-efficacy than mothers across different periods of parenthood (Allport-Altillo et al, 2020;Cox, 2021;Deave & Johnson, 2008;Doucet, 2009;Elek et al, 2003;Eskandari et al, 2017;Garfield & Isacco, 2012;Hudson et al, 2001;Kowlessar et al, 2015;Shorey et al, 2017;Singley & Edwards, 2015;Venning et al, 2021). Nevertheless, similar to mothers, fathers' higher parenting self-efficacy have been found to be predictive of their: higher parenting satisfaction (Elek et al, 2003;Rochlen et al, 2008), lower parenting stress (Schoppe-Sullivan et al, 2021;Seah & Morawska, 2016), fewer affective symptoms (Ansari et al, 2021;Bamishigbin et al, 2020;Gross & Marcussen, 2017), higher child-rearing involvement (Kwok et al, 2013;Singley et al, 2018;Trahan, 2018), fewer negative parenting behaviors (Rominov et al, 2016;Ziv et al, 2020), as well as more This document is copyrighted by the American Psychological Association or one of its allied publishers.…”

For new mothers, coping with infant distress is challenging. Mothers' self-efficacy in emotion-related parenting plays critical roles in shaping their adaptation and children's development. Research on antecedents of maternal parenting self-efficacy has been predominantly based on the global self-efficacy theory outlined by Bandura in the 1970s. Despite the utility of Bandura's theory, subsequent research on emotion-related parenting has highlighted avenues for extending and adapting his model to more adequately elucidate the cognitive, affective, and behavioral processes underlying the development of maternal emotion-related parenting self-efficacy. In view of the basic and applied value of a clearer account of how new mothers' emotion-related parenting self-efficacy emerges and evolves, the increasing amount of research on this topic, and the absence of syntheses of extant studies, we reviewed relevant literature. First, constructs and propositions in prevailing theoretical perspectives are examined for their utility to elucidate the development of new mothers' emotion-related parenting self-efficacy, particularly the implicated cognitive, affective, and behavioral mechanisms and how they work together. Second, a framework is outlined that integrates strengths of various theories to delineate processes underlying the emergence and evolution of new mothers' emotion-related parenting self-efficacy. Third, findings across disparate studies are summarized to provide a foundation for the offered framework. To better inform future research, we demonstrated how to build testable mid-range models with substantive constructs and hypotheses from the proposed framework through deductive theorizing process. We also evaluated the utility of the proposed model for studying new fathers. Last, implications for future research and practice are discussed.
