“…The current findings are consistent with several previous studies (Black & Schutte, 2006;Miller & Hoicowitz, 2004;Pascuzzo et al, 2013;Roisman et al, 2005;Walper & Wendt, 2015) that found that representations of relationships with parents predicted changes in representations of relationships with romantic partners, and are consistent with Crowell et al (2002), who found the reverse. Most of the previous studies either found similar effects for relationships with mothers and fathers, or did not differentiate them.…”

This study employed a fully cross-lagged, longitudinal model to examine reciprocal relations between representations of relationships with parents and romantic partners at ages 20 and 22. Representations were assessed with continuous measures of dismissing/avoidant and preoccupied relationship styles across the attachment and affiliation systems for parents, and across the attachment, affiliation, and caregiving systems for romantic partners. Earlier relationships with both mothers and fathers independently predicted changes in later views of romantic relationships, and earlier romantic relationships predicted changes in later views of relationships with both mothers and fathers. This evidence of a developmental system of interconnected representations across relationships has theoretical implications about the nature of working models, and practical implications alerting parents to the onset of dating as a potentially fertile context for changes in their relationships with children.

“…Past studies, however, suggest the plausibility of this mechanism particularly among young fathers in emerging adulthood. For example, young adults who reported having loving relationships with their fathers in childhood were more likely to seek comfort from close relationships (Black & Schutte, 2006), whereas distant fatherchild relationships have been linked to greater feelings of relationship anxiety (Seiffge-Krenke, Overbeek, & Vermulst, 2010). In turn, men with relational schemas that promote close, trusting relationships with other adults are more likely to engage in sensitive www.FamilyProcess.org 168 / FAMILY PROCESS parenting and form high-quality relationships with their young children (McFarland-Piazza, Hazen, Jacobvitz, & Boyd-Soisson, 2012).…”

From Fathers to Sons: The Intergenerational Transmission of Parenting Behavior among African American Young Men

This study examined the intergenerational transmission of fathering among young, African American fathers in rural communities. A sample of 132 African American young men living in the rural South reported on the quality of their relationship with their biological and social fathers in the family of origin, their own involvement with their young children, and relational schemas of close, intimate relationships. Results of path analyses supported the hypothesized mediational model, such that a better relationship with one's biological (but not social) father predicted increased father involvement in the next generation, and this association was partially mediated through positive relational schema after controlling for a range of covariates. Tests of moderated mediation indicated that the link between relational schema and father involvement was significantly stronger among fathers of girls than fathers of boys. Findings highlight the unique influence of close, nurturing father-child relationships for downstream father involvement, and the role of relational schemas as a mechanism for intergenerational transmission among young, rural, African American fathers of girls.

“…Rewarding relationships with caregivers provide security and a source of meaning and happiness, while separation and loneliness constitute potential risk factors for psychopathology through social isolation [41]. Secure attachment relationships in childhood provide a mechanism for the development of emotional regulation, therefore influencing social relationships in later life [26, 39, 42, 43]. Insecure or avoidant attachment may reduce psychological wellbeing, and lead to attempts to soothe past traumas with polysubstance use [29, 44].…”

Introduction: Adults in opiate agonist treatment (OAT) often have a background of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and are more likely to be exposed to a variety of risks that may trigger post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Summative ACE scores are often used to identify individuals at risk of PTSD and continued substance use. What has not been addressed is whether specific ACE factors are exerting a greater influence on the individual. This study investigated whether specific ACEs predicted PTSD, and current continued substance use among adults in long-term OAT. Methods: An analysis of data that were collected at the follow-up stage of a study among 131 adults who attended OAT was conducted. Participants attended one of six OAT settings, covering 45% (n = 890) of clients in a defined area of Dublin, Ireland in 2017. Interviews were conducted with 104 participants, 66 males (63%) and 38 females (37%), with an average age of 43 years (SD = 7.4). The Adverse Childhood Questionnaire (ACQ); PTSD checklist (PCL-5); heroin; tranquilliser; cannabis; alcohol; and cocaine used in the previous 28 days were measured using the quantity used score within the Opiate Treatment Index. Socio‐demographics and age of first use of these four substances were also collected. The analysis has focussed on relating ACEs to PTSD, age of first drugs use, and current drug use of the participants. Results: Bivariate analysis showed that the summative ACQ score was significantly correlated with age of first opiate use (p = 0.004). Multiple regression analysis showed that the summative ACQ score and tranquilliser use predicted higher levels of PTSD (R2 = 0.50). Four specific ACEs predicted 54% of the variance in PTSD, these were feeling unloved (β = 0.328) living with a household member who had a problem with alcohol or used illicit street drugs (β = 0.280); verbal abuse (β = 0.219); and living with a person who had a mental illness (β = 0.197). Conclusions: While a summation of all ten ACEs predicted higher levels of PTSD, the factor “feeling unloved” as a child provided the single strongest predictor and may represent an overarching risk of PTSD and continued substance use in later life among adults in treatment for an opiate use disorder.
