“…A recent meta-analysis found that child externalizing behavior had a small, but significant relationship with later parental psychological distress, controlling for baseline parental functioning (Yan et al, 2021). The effect size for childdriven effects on parents did not significantly differ from parent-driven effects on child externalizing behavior, illustrating the importance of considering the effects of children on their parents (Yan et al, 2021). Contrary to our expectations, child internalizing behavior was not associated with parental COVID-related stress or depression in this study.…”

“…Although transactional models argue that parent-child effects are bidirectional, researchers have pointed out that many studies continue to assume and examine only parentdriven effects on child behavior rather than child-driven effects on parental mental health (Jackson & Beaver, 2015;Lansford et al, 2018;Mackler et al, 2015;Teti et al, 1996;Yan et al, 2021).

Several studies have found that parents of children with adjustment issues, including infant colic and adolescent externalizing problems, were more likely to consider themselves ineffective parents and have negative perceptions of their marriages (Schulz et al, 2019;Serbin et al, 2015;Stifter et al, 2003;Yan et al, 2021).

Author Notes**This manuscript has been submitted for publication and is likely to be edited as part of the peer-review process. Correspondence regarding this paper should be addressed to Keri Ka-Yee Wong, keri.wong@ucl.ac.uk.** AbstractIn this study we surveyed families’ experiences with parental depression, stress, relationship conflict, and child behavioral issues during six months of the COVID-19 pandemic through the COVID-19: Global Social Trust and Mental Health Study. The current analyses used data collected from online surveys completed by adults in 66 countries from April 17, 2020-July 14, 2020 (Wave I), followed by surveys six months later at Wave II (October 17, 2020-January 31, 2021). Analyses were limited to 175 adult parents who reported living with at least one child under 18 years old at Wave I. Parents reported on children’s level of externalizing and internalizing behavior at Wave I. At Wave II, parents completed self-reported measures of stress, depression, and inter-partner conflict. Child externalizing behavior at Wave I significantly predicted higher levels of parental stress and marginally predicted parental depression at Wave II, controlling for covariates. Child internalizing behavior at Wave I did not predict parental stress or depression, controlling for covariates. Neither child externalizing nor internalizing behavior predicted parental relationship conflict. The overall findings demonstrate that child behavior likely influenced parental stress and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings suggest that mental health interventions for children and parents may improve the family system during times of disaster.

“…People seem to respond to disruption by engaging in rather problematic interaction patterns ( Patterson, 1982 ; Baumrind, 1991 ; Omer, 2011 ; Besnard et al, 2013 ; Tomm et al, 2014 ; Yan et al, 2021 ). PDB has become increasingly problematic during the last decades in this sense, and the central purpose of this article is to account for this recent growth of (c) PDB’s conflict-problematicity.…”

Disruptive Behavior in the Postdisciplinary Society

Responding to disruptive behavior has become increasingly problematic in current Westernized societies, impacting people’s well-being globally. In the context of the current Special Issue, in this article, we advance the concept of problematic disruptive behavior (PDB) as a suitable “window” to better understand some aspects of the deep interdependence of social participation, citizenship, justice, and well-being. To do so, we also advance the notion of postdisciplinary society to account both for the apparent rise of problematic disruptive experiences, and the increased social conflict within which such experiences get often entangled. More specifically, we argue that formerly morally acceptable responses to problematic disruption, such as punishment and discipline, have lost social legitimacy and, to that extent, they aggravate the problems they were intended to resolve. We provide a genealogical account of the surge of such postdisciplinary order with a focus on the moral transition on ideas of justice, of personal entitlements, and authority. We conclude outlining an alternative way to respond to disruptive behaviors that we anticipate will be both more effective and acceptable in the current postdisciplinary milieu.

Children who experience physical and psychological maltreatment within their family are more likely to become victims of abuse outside the family. In Chinese culture, children's victimization may also be a precursor to parenting behaviors. Nevertheless, the reciprocal relationship between child maltreatment and children's bullying victimization remains unclear, particularly in Chinese culture. This study aimed to evaluate the reciprocal association between child maltreatment and children's bullying victimization in China, as well as its gender differences. A total of 891 children aged 8–11 years in China participated in the study at four time points. The potential reciprocal link was examined using a cross‐lagged model. The results indicated that physical abuse predicted children's bullying victimization across four time points, while physical neglect predicted children's bullying victimization during the first three time points. The effects of emotional abuse and neglect were negligible. Conversely, children's bullying victimization consistently predicted various types of parental maltreatment over time. Some gender differences in the relationship were found. The findings emphasized a reciprocal relationship between child maltreatment within the family and children's bullying victimization at school. Understanding the cyclical patterns between child maltreatment and bullying victimization may help improve family education approaches and reduce children's bullying victimization.
