“…This study was part of a larger investigation of female mother-child dyads recruited for the project(Gabalda, Broth, Thompson, & Kaslow, 2009; Gabalda, Thompson, & Kaslow, 2010; Kaslow & Thompson, 2008; Mitchell et al, 2006; Owen, Thompson, & Kaslow, 2006; Owen et al, 2008; Owen, Thompson, Shaffer, Jackson, & Kaslow, 2009).

Using a culturally-informed risk-protective framework, the purpose of this study was to examine spiritual well-being (existential, religious) as a moderator (protective factor) in the relation between neighborhood disorder (risk factor) and parenting stress in among a high risk sample of low-socioeconomic status (SES), African American women (N = 144). These women, who were primary caregivers of children aged between 8 and 12 reported on disorder in their existential and religious well-being, neighborhoods, and three types of parenting stress. Women who perceived more disorder in their neighborhood had more parenting stress, and women who reported more existential and religious well-being had less parenting stress. Existential (characterized by a sense of purpose in life), but not religious (characterized by a sense of life in relationship with God) well-being, moderated the relation between neighborhood disorder and all types of parenting stress such that women with medium or high levels of existential well-being had low levels of parenting stress at low levels of neighborhood disorder, but higher levels of parenting stress at higher levels of neighborhood disorder. No moderation effects were found at low levels of existential well-being. Results are framed in a context that emphasizes their relevance to incorporating family interventions that bolster culturally relevant resilience factors, such as spirituality, pertinent to low-SES African American families.

“…It is important to explore aggression in the context of parenthood because couples who engage in partner aggression are at-risk for engaging in negative parenting practices, such as child abuse and neglect (Zolotor, Theodore, Coyne-Beasley, & Runyan, 2007). In addition, childhood exposure to partner aggression is associated with depression, anxiety, behavior problems, and a proneness to violence perpetration and victimization (Owen et al, 2008).…”

Alcohol-related partner aggression is a pervasive social problem throughout various life stages, including the transition to parenthood. Previous research shows that alcohol use is associated with partner aggression perpetration for both men and women; however, not all individuals who consume alcohol act aggressively. In this study, the moderating effects of general social support and partner-specific support on the association between prepregnancy alcohol use and recent partner physical aggression are investigated using a community sample of 98 pregnant couples. For men, high levels of general appraisal social support (i.e., someone to talk to about one's problems) increases the strength of the association between alcohol use and aggression perpetration, whereas partner-specific emotional support serves as a buffer. For women, general social support is not a significant moderator, but high levels of partner-specific instrumental support strengthens the association between alcohol use and aggression. These results can be applied to prevention and treatment programs for alcohol-related partner aggression.

“…Other interpersonal factors of note were peer and social support outside of the family, as these factors have been found to increase resilience in IPV-exposed children (Howell & Miller-Graff, 2014;Kassis, Artz, Scambor, Scambor, & Moldenhauer, 2013;Owen et al, 2008;Tajima, Herrenkohl, Moylan, & Derr, 2011).…”
